About
NickelCity 3D was born from the realization that 3D printing isn't just a technology — it's a new way of thinking about what's possible. Based in Sudbury, Ontario, we bring that mindset to every project, big or small, functional or purely beautiful.
How It Started
I'm a cybersecurity engineer by profession — but the moment I got my hands on a 3D printer, something shifted.
It wasn't just about making things. It was about realizing that the limitations I'd accepted for years — wrong colour, wrong size, doesn't exist in the store — simply didn't have to exist anymore. If you can imagine it, you can print it. And that changes everything.
But what truly captured me was discovering how far 3D printing goes beyond geometric shapes and functional parts. Techniques like HueForge make it possible to print stunning, photo-realistic images — artwork you can hang on a wall, rendered entirely in layers of filament. Custom map prints let you reach out and feel the terrain of a place that lives in your memory. Colour blending, material mixing, an almost infinite palette of filaments — the possibilities keep expanding the more you explore.
NickelCity 3D started from that feeling of wonder. Based in Sudbury, Ontario, I offer printing services that are personal, flexible, and built around what you actually need — not what happens to be on a shelf. Whether it's a meaningful gift, a one-of-a-kind decorative piece, or something that's never existed before, I'm here to bring it to life.
