About SHAP3D
Perth-based 3D printing service transforming architectural floorplans into tangible reality
Who We Are
SHAP3D is a Perth-based 3D printing service that specializes in converting architectural floorplans into high-quality, precision 3D printed house models. Based in Western Australia, we proudly serve clients across Australia and New Zealand.
We bridge the gap between 2D architectural drawings and physical reality, helping homeowners, architects, builders, real estate agents, and developers visualize projects before construction begins. Our mission is simple: make architectural visualization accessible, affordable, and professional for everyone.
What We Do
Floorplan to 3D Model Conversion
We accept PDF floorplans, CAD files (DWG, DXF), and high-resolution images, then transform them into accurate 3D digital models before precision printing.
Professional 3D Printing
Using high-quality PLA filament and professional-grade 3D printers, we create detailed, durable architectural models at various scales (typically 1:100).
Custom Features
We offer interior layouts, furniture placement, removable roofs, multi-story buildings, and customisable color options.
Australia-Wide Delivery
Fast turnaround (typically 3-5 business days) with secure packaging and reliable shipping to every corner of Australia.
Who We Serve
Homeowners & Families
Building a new home? Our 3D models help you visualize room layouts, understand proportions, make design decisions, and share your vision with family members. Perfect for catching design issues before construction begins.
Builders & Contractors
Present projects to clients with confidence. Physical models help secure approvals, communicate complex builds, and demonstrate value. Essential for client sign-offs and stakeholder presentations.
Architects & Designers
Elevate your presentations with professional physical models. Perfect for client pitches, design reviews, competitions, and portfolio pieces. We handle the technical conversion while you focus on design.
Real Estate Agents & Developers
Create premium displays for off-plan sales, development launches, and open homes. Physical models make properties memorable and help buyers visualize spaces before construction.
