Make3D — 3D printing through local experts

Make3D (make3d.biz) is the 3D-printing side of the thojomech brand: a marketplace that connects people who have a 3D model with local, vetted 3D-printing vendors — rather than routing jobs to anonymous overseas factories or unverified freelancers.

Operated in Vienna by Thomas Josef Neusser Mechatronik. Instant quotes; no public price list.

What Make3D is

“3D Printing Through Local Experts — Get instant pricing from top-rated local providers. You select the vendor, and we'll connect you to the right pro.”

Unlike big printing services or freelancers on Etsy, Make3D presents itself as a safe way to get models printed and shipped with a quality guarantee — without printing in China and waiting months, and without relying on vendors you know nothing about.

Tagline: “Community 3D Printing — When most services are taken over by corporate conglomerates, support your community and economy.” Footer: “From makers for makers.”

Mission

“Our mission is to bring the maker community together.” “Our objective is to enhance the 3D printing experience.” That wording matches the parent brand’s About copy on thojomech.com almost verbatim.

How it works

1. Select print type and upload a model. Choose FDM or SLA and the finish; upload an STL file sized, oriented, and resolved correctly.

2. Select material. Guided mode for casual users; expert mode for full control.

3. Select the best offer. Compare vendor offers, add to cart; the price locks in once added. Multiple models can be queued before checkout.
