3D printing in Canberra.
Post your model once — local Canberra makers compete to print it, and you pick the winner.
Canberra's demand skews toward government, defence and research — ANU and CSIRO drive a steady flow of precise prototypes and custom lab parts — but its makers are just as happy printing a bracket, a model or a spare for a local business or household.

Local makers quote
Makers in and around your area send competing quotes. Compare price, turnaround and reviews side by side — no pressure, no lock-in.

Why Canberra locals skip the single print shop.
Most 3D printing sites are one bureau quoting one price. Printforge is a marketplace — post once and independent Canberra makers compete for your job.
Competing quotes, better price
One job, several local quotes — you see the real market rate instead of a single take-it-or-leave-it price.
Keep it local
Work with a maker down the road: faster turnaround, easier pickup, and money that stays in your community.
No interstate freight wait
Skip shipping a fragile print across the country. Local makers can often turn a job around same-day or next-day.
