3D printing in Lucerne: from idea to a part in your hand.
Prototypes, spare parts, mounts, merchandise and small batches. We print using FDM in PLA, PETG or TPU and, if you like, model your part from a sketch, a photo or measurements.
What we print for you.
Ideal for one-offs and small quantities where an injection mould isn't worth it.
Prototypes
Test shape and fit before you go into production. Quickly adjusted and reprinted.
Spare parts
Broken clips, holders and covers you can no longer buy.
Mounts and organisers
Custom holders, cable guides and organisers for the office, workshop or shop.
Merchandise
Giveaways, keyrings or displays with your logo, even in small runs.
Small batches
From 10 to a few hundred pieces, without the tooling costs of injection moulding.
Modelling
No 3D model? We create one from a sketch, a photo or measurements and prepare it for printing.
3D printing in detail.
Prototypes
You have an idea for a housing, a holder or a new product. We print your sample in Lucerne so you can check its shape, size and fit in your hand. If something isn't right, we change the model and print the next version.

A snapped clip, a lost knob, a cracked cover. Often the part simply isn't available any more. We model it from the old part or from photos and measurements and print it in Lucerne in the right plastic.

Ten holders for your shop, keyrings for an opening or a display for a trade fair. We print small quantities without expensive tooling, with your logo and in colours that match your brand.

You have a sketch on paper, a photo or just the measurements in your head. We turn it into a print-ready 3D model, deliver it as STL or 3MF and, if you like, print a test piece straight away in Lucerne.
More on 3D modellingThe right material for your part.
We print using FDM, layer by layer. We choose the material based on what the part needs to do:
- PLA: stiff, precise and affordable. Good for prototypes, models and indoor decor.
- PETG: tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA. Good for mounts and parts that need to take some punishment.
- TPU: flexible and rubbery. Good for seals, bumpers, protective cases and grips.
- There's more on costs and materials in our 3D printing guide.

Questions about 3D printing.
Our guide to 3D printing costs explains every price factor in detail.
How do you work out the price of my print?
We check your file, choose the material and estimate the print time and finishing work. From that you get a fixed quote before anything is printed. Our 3D printing guide explains what drives the price.
Which files do you need?
STL or 3MF is best. If you don't have a file, a sketch, photos and the key measurements are enough. We'll then model the part for you.
Can I have a spare part printed?
Often, yes: clips, holders, knobs or covers, for example. Send us photos of the old part and its measurements. We'll tell you honestly whether 3D printing is up to the job.
How long does a 3D print take?
Small parts are often printed in a few hours, large ones take a day or more. Including the check and quote, you can usually expect a few working days.
PLA, PETG or TPU: which should I choose?
PLA for prototypes and models, PETG for tough parts and heat, TPU for anything that needs to bend. We'll advise you before printing.
Is 3D printing worth it for a small batch?
For small quantities, often yes, because there are no tooling costs. According to Formlabs, an aluminium injection mould costs around 2,000 to 5,000 euros. At high volumes, injection moulding becomes cheaper.
