ce-net / print

Your part, printed by a shop near you.

Send a CAD file or a drawing. Within one working day you get a price and a delivery date, and the part is printed by a professional print shop in the ce-net network: FDM, SLA, SLS or metal, from one prototype to a small series. Print shops with idle machines join free and get paid jobs.

Where it stands: the network opens now. Our own farm in Shenzhen prints today, and the first European shops are joining. Every order is checked by a person before it goes to a machine, and quotes are made by hand from a real slice until enough shops are connected for instant prices.

How an order moves

  1. Send the fileSTL, STEP or a drawing, the quantity, and what the part has to do. No material choice needed.
  2. Price and dateWe slice it for real, pick process and material, and answer within one working day.
  3. Printed nearbyThe order goes to a connected shop with the right machine, as close to you as possible. Our Shenzhen farm takes what nobody near you can.
  4. Checked and shippedThe shop's printer reports through ce-net while it prints; you get photos before the part ships.

Order parts

Prototypes, jigs and fixtures, spare parts, small series. You pay the shop's price plus a 15% network fee, shown before you order.

Files are only used to quote and print your order. See privacy.

For print, CNC and laser shops: get paid jobs

Connect the machines you already have: 3D printers, CNC mills and lathes, laser and waterjet cutters. We send you jobs that fit your machines and materials, at the price you set. Joining is free; the buyer pays the 15% network fee on top of your price, so you keep all of it.

  • You accept or decline every job before it prints.
  • Your printers report status and camera through a small ce-net node on your network, read-only: we can see a job's progress, never start or stop your machines.
  • Paid per finished job, monthly.

We write within one working day. See privacy.
