Question 1

What file formats do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept standard 3D formats including STL, OBJ and STEP. If you don’t have a 3D file, that’s fine — our team can design and model your part from a sketch, photo, or written description.

Question 2

How much does 3D printing cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on the size of the part, the material, the level of detail, and the quantity. Send us your design or idea through the Request a Quote page and we’ll return a clear, itemized quote — usually within a day.

Question 3

What is your typical turnaround time?

Accepted Answer

Most prototypes and small orders are ready within 2–5 days. Larger or more complex jobs take longer, and we’ll always confirm a timeline with your quote before we begin.

Question 4

Which materials can I choose from?

Accepted Answer

We stock PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, Silk PLA and Matte PLA, with other materials available on request. If you’re unsure which is right for your part, we’ll recommend the best option for strength, finish and budget.

Question 5

Do you offer design support if I only have an idea?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Design and CAD modeling are core services. Whether you have a napkin sketch, a broken part, or just a concept, we can take it through to a print-ready model.

Question 6

Do you handle bulk and small-batch orders?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We support small-batch manufacturing and bulk personalized orders — ideal for startups, events, retailers and businesses. Share your quantity in the quote form for batch pricing.

Question 7

Do you deliver, and where?

Accepted Answer

We deliver across Kathmandu and to major cities in Nepal, with pickup available from our studio. Share your location in the quote form and we’ll confirm delivery options.
