3D modelling in Lille
No 3D file? We model your part from a drawing, a sketch, measured photos or the object itself, then print it in our workshop in the Lille metro area.

Who it is for
Modelling designed for manufacturing
We model parts meant to be printed and used. Image rendering, 3D animation and virtual tours are not part of what we do.
Companies without a design office
Craftspeople, shops and SMEs who need a specific part, mount or tool without in-house CAD skills.
Product creators
You have a product idea and a sketch. We turn it into a 3D model that respects printing constraints, ready for a first prototype.
Individuals
A broken part you cannot find, an accessory that does not exist in shops: we measure it, redraw it and print it.
Typical work
What we model
Mechanical and functional parts, drawn to print correctly the first time.
- Replacement parts redrawn from the original, even when broken
- Custom brackets, mounts and adapters
- Enclosures and covers around an existing circuit board
- Workshop jigs and tooling
- Turning a sketch or paper drawing into a usable 3D model
- Fixing an existing file that does not print properly
Method
How a modelling job works
- 01
Brief and inputs
You send what you have: a drawing, a dimensioned sketch, photos with a ruler, or the object itself. We ask whatever is missing about how the part will be used.
- 02
Measurements
To reproduce an object, we measure it with calipers. Drop-off and pickup are by appointment in Lille, or by post.
- 03
Modelling and approval
We draw the part with printing in mind: thickness, assembly clearances, orientation. You approve a screenshot before printing.
- 04
Print and file
We print the part and hand over the STL file, or STEP on request, so it can be made again later.
Materials & limits
What to know before ordering
The quality of a model depends directly on the information you start with. Here is what makes the difference.
Reliable dimensions
A photo alone is not enough for a part that has to fit. We need at least the main dimensions, or the object itself so we can measure it.
Organic shapes
Very free-form shapes, such as a face or a sculpture, call for scanning or digital sculpting rather than CAD. We tell you so when quoting.
Safety parts
We do not model parts whose failure would endanger someone: braking, gas, lifting, vehicle safety.

Frequently asked questions
How much does 3D modelling cost in Lille?
Modelling is priced on design time, which depends on the complexity of the part and the quality of the inputs provided. A simple part is quick to draw, an assembly of several parts takes longer. The quote shows modelling and printing costs separately.
Can I get the 3D file?
Yes. The STL file comes with the part, and the STEP file on request. You own the design made for you.
Do I need to bring the object to reproduce?
It is the most reliable option for a part that has to fit. Drop-off is by appointment in Lille or by post. For a simple part, photos with the main dimensions may be enough.
Do you do 3D rendering or animation?
No. We only model parts meant to be manufactured. For a rendered image or an animation, a 3D rendering studio will be a better fit.
What is the lead time for a part modelled and then printed?
Allow a few days for modelling depending on complexity, then 5 to 7 business days for printing. The exact schedule is stated on the quote.
