THINGS WORTH MAKING

Your ideas.
Made nearby.

Find thoughtful 3D printed things, or describe an idea of your own—solo or with your kids at the table. Independent makers can bring it to life nearby or ship it to your door.

THE IDEA BEHIND 5D

A little less searching.
A lot more making.

Three dimensions make the object. We care about the other two as well: your time and your distance from the person making it.

Start with your idea
01 / IMAGINE

Show us what you mean.

Describe an idea or add reference photos. No modeling software required.

02 / CONNECT

Choose your maker.

The planned marketplace will let you compare responses from independent makers.

03 / RECEIVE

Pick up or ship.

Use a distance that works for you, or look farther afield for the right maker.

ALREADY MAKING THINGS?

Bring your shop. Keep your story.

We are designing 5D Things as another way for independent printers to be found, with clear attribution to their own work and shops.
