G3D

Lately we’ve been getting a lot of students coming to us with ideas for capstone projects, presentations, and studio work — and honestly, it’s one of our favourite parts of this business.

There’s nothing quite like watching someone see their design jump from a screen into real life, as a physical object they can actually hold in their hands.

This piece is an architectural model of a laneway house in Vancouver, designed by a second–year UBC student. We worked from his digital drawings to turn the concept into a detailed 3D printed model, complete with all the little features he’d imagined.

He was absolutely chuffed seeing his design go from “file on a laptop” to “real thing on the table.” Moments like that are why we love what we do.

If you’re a student with a project, prototype, or wild idea you’d love to see come to life, we’re always happy to help bring your vision into reality. 👇
Send us your files or even just your rough idea, and let’s make something you can hold.

This weekend's design challenge; A client has brought pictures of some designer planters they are in love with, but the price is insane ($210 for a set of three!).

My task - create some unique designs inspired by the designer pots, and make them affordable, durable, UV and water resistant - and feature some unique materials!

Challenge accepted and under way :)
