WE DESIGN AND PRINT ENVIRONMENTS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Welcome to Emerging Objects. We are an independent, creatively driven, 3D Printing MAKE-tank specializing in innovations in 3D printing architecture, building components, software, hardware and material innovation. We believe that 3D printing is the medium where good ideas become real.

We design and 3D print environments and objects for the 21st century and provide consultation to companies seeking innovative 3D printing solutions to help catapult innovation. Our expertise as 3D printing pioneers helps our customers create compelling designs that are unable to be achieved any other way. Our production portfolio includes a wide range of additive manufacturing techniques (SLS, FDM, 3DP, LOM + more) and our unique material expertise allows us to create objects with unique materials that are not yet widely available in 3D printing.
