3D printing · Geelong, VIC
3D printing in Geelong.
Post your model once — local Geelong makers compete to print it, and you pick the winner.
Geelong reinvented itself around advanced manufacturing — Deakin's Carbon Nexus and a skilled ex-automotive workforce — so its makers are unusually capable with functional, engineering-grade prints alongside everyday custom parts.

How to get something 3D printed in Geelong.
Step 1
Post your job — free
Upload your STL, 3MF or STEP file (or just describe what you need), set your budget and deadline. It takes a minute and costs nothing.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Choose & get it made
Pick the maker that suits you and get your part printed. Being local, pickup or fast delivery is often on the table.
Why Geelong locals skip the single print shop.
Most 3D printing sites are one bureau quoting one price. Printforge is a marketplace — post once and independent Geelong 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.
