3D Modeling & Printing
About Our 3D Printing
Layermade Workshop operates with a level 4 type laser machine (for now) and is capable of engraving most materials under 2" thick and cutting through materials 1/4" thick depending on the material itself (see List of Materials below). Most jobs are billed based on time spend within the machine itself and estimated are calculated according the laser's software. Please note that the cutting process is actually much quicker than the engraving process. The machine can cut and trace around any provided vector path, whereas it must engrave line by line dramatically lengthening the process. If you are working within a budget, please plan your project accordingly.
List of Supported Filaments
- ABS
- PLA
- Wood PLA

Size and Quality Restrictions
Our 3D printer can accommodate models up to 7.9" x 7.9" x 7.9", but many larger projects can be divided and assembled or bonded together in small pieces. Layer resolution: 20-400 microns.
Colors
We support most third party filament colors including many specialty filaments such as glitter, wood, glow-in-the-dark, and translucent.
3D Printing Rates
Most projects are estimated as follows:
Project setup: $25
Process time: $.15/min
Material cost: varies
Additional design work: $50/hr
Post-production (painting, assembling, etc.): $25/hr
