01 / The problem

Your printer can make almost anything. The file you found should not decide what you make.

You know the routine. You have an idea, search for a model and find something that is almost right. Then the hole is in the wrong place. It is 5 mm too wide. The shape is close enough to be annoying.

Professional CAD can turn a small change into a whole new hobby. Make 3D Things gives you a faster path. Start with basic geometry, import a file you already have, or grab one of our designs and change what you need.

The goal is simple: get the idea out of your head and onto the print bed.

Start from scratch

Build it yourself in Print Studio.

Create shapes, set exact dimensions, bend and taper solids, sculpt surfaces, cut one object from another, combine parts and export the result for your printer.

Start halfway there

Grab a design. Change it if you want.

Some days you want to design. Some days you want the part. Browse ready-to-print files, pick the license you need and use Print Studio when you want to adjust the design before printing.

02 / What you can do

Enough control to make it yours.

Print Studio is built around direct, useful editing. Pick an object, grab a tool and change the geometry you can see.

Build with exact shapes

Start with boxes, cylinders, spheres, cones and torus shapes. Set dimensions in millimeters and place parts exactly where you need them.

Reshape the solid

Move, rotate, scale, stretch, bend, taper and bulge geometry directly on the model instead of hunting through layers of CAD controls.

Sculpt the surface

Draw, inflate, deflate, pinch, flatten, grab and smooth the surface. Use area selection when you want the change confined to one part of the model.

Build real assemblies

Combine objects, merge them into a single solid, subtract one shape from another, align parts and use gravity to place objects on the bed or on each other.

Bring your own files

Import STL, OBJ, PLY and 3MF files, edit them in the same workspace and export your finished model in the format that fits your workflow.

03 / The deal

The Studio is free. All of it.

Open it without an account. Use the modeling tools. Import files. Export your work. Pay when one of our design files saves you time and gives you a better place to start.

05 / Licensing

One design. Two ways to buy it.

Personal

Make it for yourself.

Choose the personal license for your own prints, projects, gifts and hobby use.

Commercial

Use it in your business.

Choose the commercial option when the design becomes part of the work you sell. Commercial pricing will appear alongside the personal option on each design page.

06 / Questions

A few things you will probably want to know.

Is Print Studio really free?

Yes. Every Studio feature is available free. The store sells design files when you want a faster starting point.

Do I need an account to use the Studio?

You can open the Studio and start designing without an account. An account can handle saved designs and purchases when you want those features.

What files can I import and export?

Print Studio works with STL, OBJ, PLY and 3MF files for import and export.

Can I change a design I buy?

Yes. That is a big part of the point. Start with the purchased file, open it in Print Studio and adjust the model for your project.

What is the difference between personal and commercial pricing?

Personal pricing covers your own use. Commercial pricing covers business use under the commercial license terms shown with the design.

Do I need CAD experience?

Print Studio uses direct tools and exact dimensions so you can work with the model you see. You can start with simple shapes and build up as your projects get more ambitious.

You have a printer. Make something with it.

Start with a blank build plate or grab a design that gets you moving faster. Either way, the next thing on your printer can be yours.
