From flat idea to finished 3D print

Discover3D scans, designs and prints in one friendly studio — with an AI pipeline that turns 2D vector art into real 3D objects. Confidential work stays on our local machines: off the grid, off the cloud.

What we do

One studio, the whole 3D workflow

Scan it, design it, print it — or bring us a flat vector and we'll take it all the way to a finished object in your hands.

Matter & Form

3D Scanning

High-detail desktop scanning that captures full colour and fine geometry in a single pass — no matting spray, no powder, no scan lines. Clean, watertight meshes ready to print, edit or archive.

  • Full colour — no spray or powder
  • No visible scan marks
  • Watertight, print-ready meshes
Prusa CORE+

3D Printing

Reliable, high-quality FDM prints on Prusa CORE+ machines. Prototypes, replacement parts, models and short runs — printed, finished and shipped nationwide.

  • PLA, PETG & more
  • Fine 0.1mm layers
  • Finishing & assembly
Local AI pipeline

AI 2D → 3D Design

Turn flat vector artwork, logos and line art into production-ready 3D models with our AI-assisted design pipeline — refined by a real designer before printing.

  • Vector / SVG to 3D
  • Human-checked output
  • Runs on local AI
The AI pipeline

2D vector in, real 3D out

Our speciality: converting flat vector artwork into production-ready 3D designs. AI does the heavy lifting on local hardware; a designer makes sure it's right.

01

Send your vector

Share an SVG, logo or line drawing — or an object to scan. Nothing touches the public cloud.

02

Local AI builds depth

Our on-site AI pipeline interprets shapes and generates a clean 3D base mesh from your 2D artwork.

03

Designer refines

A human designer checks tolerances, thickness and detail so the model is genuinely print-ready.

04

Print & ship

We print on Prusa CORE+, finish it, and post it out to you anywhere in the UK.

Off the grid, off the cloud

Confidential 3D projects

Working on something sensitive — a patent-pending part, a prototype, a private commission? We run confidential jobs entirely on local AI machinery and 70TB of on-site NAS storage. Nothing is uploaded to third-party clouds, and your files are wiped the moment you say so.

  • Air-gapped processing available on request
  • Printed on-site — unlike many networked printers, our Prusa CORE+ machines never upload your files to a vendor's cloud
  • NDA-friendly — we sign yours or provide ours
  • Secure comms — encrypted Proton email (Switzerland)

Why discover3d.studio

Friendly, fast and genuinely private

Off-grid, off-cloud

Confidential jobs run entirely on local AI and local hardware. No third-party cloud, no data leaving the studio.

Fast response

Quotes and replies within a few hours on working days — no waiting days for a price.

Fast UK shipping

Tracked nationwide delivery, dispatched quickly once your print is finished.

You own your files

Every scan and model is yours to download for free — no lock-in, no subscriptions.

Real human quality

AI does the heavy lifting; a designer signs off every model before it prints.

Simple, honest pricing

Transparent per-hour and per-gram rates. You only pay for what your job uses.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What can you 3D scan?

Most solid objects that fit on the scanner — parts, prototypes, models, ornaments and keepsakes. We produce clean, watertight meshes you can print or edit. Very shiny or transparent items may need a light prep spray.

How does the 2D → 3D AI pipeline work?

You send a vector file (SVG, logo, or line art). Our local AI interprets the shapes and generates a 3D base mesh, then a designer refines wall thickness, tolerances and detail so it's genuinely print-ready.

How do you keep projects confidential?

Confidential work is processed entirely on local AI machinery and local storage — off the grid and off the cloud. Nothing is uploaded to third-party services, and files are deleted on request.

How is a job priced?

Everything is itemised: equipment time (scanner, printer or design station, per hour), material (filament, per gram) and hands-on operator time, plus shipping. There are two volume tiers — 'one to a few' and 'few to many' — and the more you make, the lower the per-unit rate. We confirm a fixed quote before we start (minimum job charge £50).

Where do you ship?

Anywhere in the UK, with tracked delivery. We dispatch quickly once your print is finished and checked.

Can you handle large / bulk orders?

Large-order capacity is launching soon as more Prusa printers arrive. Join the waitlist and you'll get priority in the queue plus launch pricing.
