From idea to printed reality.

Kenya's precision 3D printing studio. Bring an STL file, a sketch, or just a rough idea - we'll turn it into something real.

"We believe great things can be built anywhere - if you give people the tools, the expertise, and a bit of time to think it through together."

- Lithography Labs, Nairobi

We're a small studio with a simple idea: 3D printing should be accessible to anyone with a problem to solve - whether that's a student finishing a final-year project, a startup prototyping its first product, or a workshop that just needs a broken part remade. We work with files, sketches, photographs, and ideas. We advise before we quote, and we deliver across Kenya.

Two ways to start.

Come with a ready file, or come with a napkin sketch. Both paths end with the same thing: a real object in your hand.

For designers & engineers

Upload an STL.

Drop your STL, OBJ, STEP, or 3MF and we'll check printability, recommend a material, and send a quote - usually within 24 hours.

For everyone else

Or just share an idea.

No CAD file? Send a sketch, a photo, or describe it in words. We'll model it for you as part of the quote.

How it works.

Four steps, no guesswork. Whether you arrive with a finished file or only a sketch, the path is the same.

Step 01

Send us what you have

A ready STL, a rough sketch, a photograph, or even just a text description. Anything that helps us understand the goal.

Step 02

We review and advise

Our team checks feasibility, recommends the right material and finish, and flags anything that could save you money.

Step 03

Approve the quote

Clear pricing, clear lead time, and a preview of the result. No surprises, no hidden fees.

Step 04

We print and deliver

Printed, finished, and couriered to your door - anywhere in Kenya.

What clients say.

"I came in with a crumpled napkin sketch. They sent back a 3D preview the same evening, and the printed part fit our assembly perfectly on the first try."

Hardware lead, agritech startup

"As a student, I'd been quoted absurd prices elsewhere. Lithography Labs explained my options clearly and came in under budget - with better quality."

DO
David Omondi
Mechatronics student, JKUAT

"We needed 60 identical brackets for a pop-up installation. They coordinated the print run, delivered to our venue, and the finish was honestly beautiful."

Questions, answered.

What file types do you accept?
STL, OBJ, STEP, 3MF, and IGES are all welcome. If you have something else - a Fusion 360 or SolidWorks file - send it over and we'll work it out together.
What if I don't have an STL file?
No problem at all. About half of our clients start without a file. Send us reference images, sketches, dimensions, or even a description of what you're trying to make - we can model it for you as part of the quote.
Can I send an image or sketch instead?
Absolutely. A clear photo of a reference object, a hand-drawn sketch with rough measurements, or even a mood board is enough for us to start the conversation.
How long does quoting take?
Typically under 24 hours on business days. For complex modelling or multi-part assemblies, we might ask a few follow-up questions before finalising.
Do you deliver within Kenya?
Yes. We deliver Nairobi same or next day via courier, and across Kenya via G4S, Wells Fargo, or bus parcel - whatever works for your location.
Can you help refine an idea before printing?
This is one of our favourite parts of the job. We'll suggest wall thicknesses, fillets, material choices, and orientation to save you money and make the part stronger.
What materials do you offer?
PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU (flexible), nylon, carbon-fibre reinforced filaments, and standard/engineering resins. We'll recommend the right one for your use case.

Ready to make it real?

Whether it's a file, a sketch, or just an idea - send it over. We'll reply with a plan and a quote before the day is out.
