Print and Play is based in Hamilton, Ontario — 45 minutes from Toronto — but serves customers across the region looking for custom 3D printed objects, workshop experiences, and maker education that is hard to find anywhere else in the area.
What Print and Play makes
The shop runs FDM 3D printers producing a wide range of objects: functional parts, custom keychains, name plates, articulated figures, props, replacement components, prototypes, and decorative pieces. The shop also produces educational maker kits and hosts workshops where customers design and print their own objects on-site.
Custom orders
Customers who need a specific part, prop, or object can bring a design file or describe what they need. Print and Play works with STL files from Tinkercad, Fusion 360, and most standard CAD tools. For customers without design experience, the team can help translate a concept into a printable file. Custom orders are available through the printandplay.ca contact form.
Why a local Hamilton shop is different from online services
Online 3D printing services are useful for volume orders, but they do not offer a hands-on experience, a turn-around conversation about design options, or the ability to inspect materials and tolerances before committing to a print. At Print and Play, customers can watch their object being made, ask questions in real time, and iterate on the design if the first result is not quite right.
Workshop and educational programs
Walk-in sessions are open most days for customers who want to come in, choose a project, and leave with a finished piece. Weekend workshops offer structured maker projects for kids and adults. Summer camps run through July and August. All of this happens in a working shop environment where the printers are running and the process is visible.
Getting here from Toronto
Print and Play is on Locke Street South in Hamilton — accessible by GO train (West Harbour station) and by car on the QEW or Highway 403. Locke Street is one of Hamilton's main commercial strips, with parking available nearby and plenty of reasons to make an afternoon of it.
