3D MODELLING - KELOWNA, BC

3D modelling and CAD design, from sketch to finished part

Whether you're an entrepreneur prototyping a new product, an artist creating a digital sculpture or a business that needs a custom part, Formed2fit turns your idea into an accurate 3D model. You get a file that's ready to print, ready to manufacture, or both.

WHAT WE OFFER

3D modelling services

From a rough idea to a precise engineering file, we model it to suit the way it'll be made.

Custom 3D design

Napkin sketches to detailed CAD drawings, turned into high-resolution 3D models for prototyping or production.

Artistic & technical models

Organic sculpting for characters, props and decor, plus precision modelling for mechanical and industrial parts.

Reverse engineering

We 3D scan a physical part and recreate it digitally, so it can be replicated, redesigned or modified.

3D print-ready files

Models optimized for FDM, resin or SLS printing, and we can print them for you too.

Product prototyping

Functional and good-looking prototypes for pitching, testing or market validation, ready to 3D print.

HOW IT WORKS

How our 3D modelling process works

From a rough idea to a precise engineering file, we model it to suit the way it'll be made.

Drawing to design

Send us a sketch, a drawing, photos with measurements, an existing file or the part itself. We build the first version of your 3D model from it.

Make adjustments

You review the model, and we refine the dimensions, details and features until it's exactly what you need.

Final results

You get your files in the formats you need. Want the physical part too? We'll 3D print it in-house.

STARTING POINTS

What you can send us

From a rough idea to a precise engineering file, we model it to suit the way it'll be made.

  • A sketch. Even a napkin drawing is a start. Add key measurements, preferably in millimetres.

  • A technical drawing. Dimensioned 2D drawings become full 3D models.

  • Photos and measurements. For simpler shapes, these are often enough.

  • The physical part. We 3D scan it and reverse engineer a clean model. For broken parts, see duplication.

  • An existing 3D file. We can fix it, change it or get it ready to print.

WHAT YOU GET

3D model file format

Format Best for

  • STEPEditable CAD for engineering, machining and manufacturing

  • DWGTechnical drawings and AutoCAD workflows

  • STL3D printing on FDM, resin or SLS

  • OBJ3D printing, visuals and renders

Manufacturing elsewhere? Ask your manufacturer which format they need before we start, and we'll deliver it that way.

PRICING

3D modelling pricing

Every job is estimated before we start, so there are no surprises.

CAD modelling

$60/hour

Custom design, reverse engineering and file preparation. We estimate the hours up front, and you get manufacture-ready STEP and DWG or print-ready STL and OBJ files.

Prices in Canadian dollars, plus applicable taxes.

3D scanning

from $90/object

When we need to capture an existing part first. See 3D scanning for details.

3D printing

Quoted per job

based on size, material and quantity

Turn your model into a real part. See 3D printing.

BEFORE YOU START

Product prototyping checklist

Developing a new product? These four steps save time and money later.

Have a non-disclosure agreement

Protect your intellectual property before you share your idea. Free templates are available online, such as at NonDisclosureAgreement.com.

Prices in Canadian dollars, plus applicable taxes.

Prepare a sketch with measurements

A drawing with dimensions, preferably in millimetres, gives the most accurate model.

Research regulations

Check the rules for making and using your product before you invest in the design.

Know your manufacturing file format

Planning to mass-produce? Ask your manufacturer which file format they need before we start.

QUESTIONS

3D modelling FAQ

  • A sketch or drawing with measurements is ideal, preferably in millimetres. Photos with a few key measurements, an existing 3D file to fix or change, or the physical part itself also work.

  • CAD modelling is $60 an hour. We estimate the hours up front, so you know roughly what it will cost before we start. If the part needs to be 3D scanned first, scanning starts at $90.

  • STEP and DWG for engineering and manufacturing, and STL and OBJ for 3D printing and visualization. Models can be optimized for FDM, resin or SLS printing.

  • Yes. That's reverse engineering. We 3D scan the part, then rebuild it as a clean CAD model you can replicate, redesign or modify.

  • A CAD model is built to the exact dimensions you give us. When we model from a scan, accuracy depends on the scan, which is up to 0.02 mm in blue-laser mode. We confirm critical dimensions by measuring the part.

  • Yes. If you need an NDA signed, mention it when you book your consultation or request a quote.
