“I just wanted to say that I really appreciate the very reasonable quotes you have given us and for the overall ease of ordering with you. I have recommended you to my fellow coworkers and will try to ensure that Midé uses Solid-Ideas for all of our rapid prototyping needs. Thank you very much for all your help,”

“Oscar took the time to understand what we wanted and helped file fix our CAD data for 3d printing a model to be used in the venture capital funding phase of our aircraft project.”
Caltrans
“Solid-Ideas 3D printing service and model making skills enables our customers to more clearly understand our
design proposals and it reduces the amount of time required for project acceptance”.

“Oscar is great to work with. His 3d printing service is prompt and he goes beyond the norm to make sure that we are satisfied."
-K. Ebner, Woodbury University
“It's been a great experience working with Solid-Ideas. The 3D printing service was fast and easy and far superior to other 3D printing I was trying out.”
QUALITY
- Not all models are made the same. We can achieve what traditional modeling cannot do alone.
- Our background uniquely equips us to make the most accurate and aesthetically pleasing models.
- The sturdiness of our models hold up to everyday use.
AFFORDABILITY
- We offer competitive pricing without sacrificing quality.
FLEXIBILITY
- Quick, cost-effective replications at various scales.
- Stress-free adaptability to your evolving needs.
- The convenience to make last-minute design changes.
- Support for a variety of file formats, including Solid Works and Sketchup.
TECHNOLOGY
- Material differentiation with multiple colors and textures.
- High levels of detail for incredibly realistic models.
- Complex shapes and geometries you never thought possible.
Let our experts transform your PDFs and Autocad drawings into 3D files ready to be printed as striking, physical models or rendered as beautiful images and animations.
3D Modeling
Using 2D plans, we modeled these tool tips.
Enlarged 3D Prints
We printed the microscopic tool tips as large cut-away enlargements so potential buyers could understand how each tip worked.
Using photos of a vintage film canister, Solid-Ideas created a 3D model from scratch. This file was then 3D printed to make a pattern. We also added draft and shrinkage to the 3D file so the pattern would release from the mold correctly to make the perfect bronze sculpture. Our talented team uses state-of-the-art equipment and software to turn your ideas, designs, scanned data, or CAD files into full-color 3D models that can be held, walked around, studied, and used in the real world.
3D modeling from 2D plans
Using just a few photos of a vintage film reel along with 2D plans, we were able to 3D model a accurate copy of the real thing.
3D Printed Parts
Using our Zcorp printer, we 3D-printed the reel in parts for easier pattern making. We also added the proper amount of draft and shrinkage.
