Desks, labs and distance learning
With Athabasca University’s head office in town, plenty of people here work in research, teaching or administration — and many more work or study from home. That adds up to a steady need for small, practical prints: monitor risers, headset hooks, cable trays, and enclosures for sensors and Raspberry Pi projects.
Send an STL or STEP file, or a sketch with dimensions, and we’ll model the rest. Short runs of identical parts print side by side, so ten take about as long as one.

Life on the river
The town started as Athabasca Landing, the river port at the end of the trail north from Edmonton, and the Athabasca River is still close to everything here. We print dry-box latches, rod holders, canoe-rack spacers and paddle clips, and signs that mark the old Landing make good gifts for anyone with roots in town.
Outdoor parts print in ASA so they hold up to sun and spray, and anything that needs to flex, like a clip or strap keeper, prints in TPU.

Questions.
Can you print enclosures for a research or class project?
Yes. Send the board dimensions or a STEP file, and tell us where the ports, buttons and vents need to go. We can print a couple of versions to test before the final run.
How long does it take to get a 3D print to Athabasca?
Most orders are printed within 1–3 business days of approving the quote, then shipped by Canada Post Expedited Parcel with tracking — usually 2–3 business days to Athabasca. That’s typically 3–6 business days from approval to your door. In a hurry? Ask for Xpresspost (1–2 business days).
Do you have a location in Athabasca?
No — we print in Edmonton and ship to Athabasca. Everything is quoted from photos, measurements or files, so there’s no need to visit. If a part has to fit something exactly, ask about a quick test print first.
How much is shipping to Athabasca?
It depends on the size and weight of the parcel. Shipping is included in your quote, so you see the full price before anything prints.
Do I need a 3D file?
No. A photo next to a ruler and a few measurements is enough for most parts — we’ll model it for you.
