Help Center

PrintPeer connects you with local fabrication shops that offer services like 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC machining, and UV printing. You can browse shops by location, compare services and pricing, upload your design files, and communicate directly with shop owners to complete your projects.

To place an order, first create an account and then use our project request form to specify your fabrication needs. Upload your design files, select the service you need, and choose from available shops in your area. You'll receive quotes from shops, and once you accept a quote, you can proceed with payment and track your order progress through our platform.

PrintPeer supports a wide range of file formats depending on the service you're requesting. For 3D printing, we accept STL, OBJ, and 3MF files. For laser cutting, SVG, DXF, and AI files are supported. For CNC machining, we accept STEP, IGES, and DWG files. For UV printing, we accept PDF, PNG, JPG, and AI files. If you have a different file format, please contact the shop directly to confirm compatibility.

Payments are processed securely through our platform. When you accept a quote from a shop, you'll be prompted to make a payment. We hold the payment in escrow until the project is completed to your satisfaction. We accept all major credit cards, and in some cases, shops may offer additional payment options for larger projects.
