Designed Layer By Layer
Layer Up Labs is a one-person studio in Lutz, Florida. Every object here started as a model built from nothing then printed, cleaned, and finished by hand.

How A Thing Gets Made
Model
The shape is built and sculpted in Blender. Nothing here is a downloaded file.
Slice
Orientation, wall count, and supports get decided. The choices that determine whether it survives.
Hours on the plate, laid down a fraction of a millimeter at a time.
Finish
Supports removed, seams sanded, hardware fitted. This is the part that separates a print from a product.

Custom modeling and printing, from a rough sketch or a description. Props, parts, gifts, replacements for the thing you can't buy anymore.
