3-DP is a division of GDS (GraphicDESIGNServices) an award-winning design studio located in Scottsdale, Arizona. We specialize in product design, advertising design & graphics for print and the web. We are proud to now offer high-quality 3D Print & Scanning services too!
At 3-DP we love to design, engineer and make cool things that work! 3-DP can take your file as is, or we can modify and/or fix it for you.
If you have something in mind but have no idea where to start, we can help you design your prototype from a simple sketch or detailed description.
3-DP HAS AN AWESOME 3D SCANNER
We can take your real-world objects and scan them into 3D. Scanning creates a "mesh" file of your model that can be edited, modified and replicated over and over from a 3D printer.
We are currently accepting files in the following formats. If you need help preparing your file for print, let us know. We can help!
.STL
.OBJ
.DXF
.SKP (Sketchup)
.SLDPRT (SolidWorks)
.123dx (123Design)
If your project is “Top Secret” that’s not a problem. We have experience with many new products under development, and will be happy to offer you a standard Non-disclosure, confidentiality agreement or sign one of your own if you require.
3-DP prints with the MakerBot® Replicator 2X. This amazing device can print in 2-colors simultaneously (known as dual extrusion) or can print a single color all-day long! We print with ABS plastic (like Legos). The material is lightweight, durable, comes in lots of cool colors and can easily be finished with fine grit sandpaper or other smoothing tools and processes.
We typically print at medium (0.2mm) or fine (0.10mm) resolution depending on the print detail required. Printed objects are rarely made of solid material but instead printed with an infill pattern of approximately 10–30%. This is determined by the intended use of the part, whether decorative, functional or structural.
If all this sounds too complicated, don’t worry! At 3-DP we can help design and configure your part so it prints reliably and has that WOW factor that makes 3D printing so cool.
We encourage you to drop us an email to discuss your project. We will give you the info you need along with a price quote and time estimate that will be fair and accurate.
No project is too small, or too large, for us to consider and discuss!

Thank you! 3-DP
