Magnacad's revitalized 3D Printing Service.

3D printing at competitive costs.

Magnacad has enhanced its 3D printing bureau by introducing a wider range of materials and improved services. While we have quietly offered 3D printing services to a select group of customers in the past, our primary focus has traditionally been as a reseller of 3D printers and supplies rather than operating as a service bureau. However, we recognized an opportunity to expand this offering to better support a broader range of clients.
Though we are not a “print farm,” our streamlined approach allows us to cater to customers with smaller or more specific requirements. One of the key benefits of 3D printing is the ability to create highly customized designs with precision, while also reducing production time compared to traditional manufacturing methods. By leveraging these advantages, we aim to deliver value and flexibility to our clients.
If you’re interested in using our services, we encourage you to submit your file for a quotation. We would be more than happy to assist you with your 3D printing needs!
