THE BEGINNING

Vice3D Studios started as a side project between two mechanical engineers who wanted to solve a problem they shared. What began as prototypes built between engineering school projects evolved into a professional studio focused on helping designers, architects, and manufacturers bridge the gap between concept and production.

We believe good design requires iteration. And iteration requires the ability to see, test, and refine your ideas in physical form—fast, without the cost and lead time of traditional manufacturing.

WHAT WE DO

We specialize in turning your CAD files into physical parts. Whether you need to test proportions and fit before committing to tooling, create presentation samples for client approval, reverse-engineer existing parts, or fabricate complex geometry that would be prohibitively expensive through traditional manufacturing—we handle it. No minimum orders. No long lead times. Each piece is built to order.

Our background in mechanical engineering means we understand not just how to print your designs, but how to optimize them for fabrication, assembly, and real-world use. We catch design issues early, suggest improvements when we see them, and deliver parts that actually work. Your CAD file is just the starting point—we think about how it's going to be made, how it's going to be used, and what adjustments will make it better.

ENGINEERING MINDSET

Every project we take on reflects our engineering background. We approach fabrication like product design: with attention to detail, precision, and the understanding that small decisions compound into big results. We're not just printing files. We're solving problems.

BEYOND THE STUDIO

We're also climbers who design and build climbing training gear under the VICE3D brand. That passion for innovation and problem-solving informs everything we do here. We know what it means to build something you believe in, to iterate until it's right, and to care about the people who use your work. We bring that same mentality to every client project—because your designs deserve partners who actually care about getting them right.
