BUILD CUSTOM 3D PRINTED CAR PARTS YOU CAN'T BUY — IN JUST 1 DAY
The Design-to-Print Workshop™
Finish your build with a step-by-step system for making one-of-a-kind 3D printed OEM+ car parts — without getting lost in complex CAD.
Finish your build with a step-by-step system for making one-of-a-kind 3D printed OEM+ car parts — without getting lost in complex CAD.
This workshop finally made designing 3d printed car parts feel doable. I had a replacement part ready for my project car in a few hours.
A few years ago, I was mid-build on my 1984 BMW E30 and hit the same wall every builder hits: the part I needed didn't exist.
Hiring a CAD designer? $200 per part, minimum.
That's when I turned to 3D printing.
But every resource I came across was a 30+ day CAD tutorial about printing household products or toys — not automotive parts.
Then I found Shapr3D; CAD software built for people who think like builders, not engineers.
So I built a repeatable process that helps automotive builders make UV and high heat resistant 3D printed car parts with a factory OEM-plus finish.
You'll walk away with a repeatable design process using Shapr3D, — one of the most powerful and user-friendly CAD programs made for builders, not engineers.
You'll design fully functional parts for your build, not unrealistic parts that can't be installed: radio delete plates, dash blanks, shifters, organizers, and wheel-cap covers.
Reverse Engineer Like a Pro
With thousands of printable car part files online, not knowing how to modify them keeps you stuck.
The reverse engineering module covers how to customize any existing pre-made car part file aka STL or 3D scan to match your specific car.

3D Printing material options are endless and printing with the wrong one will leave you with an unreliable part.
You'll learn how to identify and print with materials made specifically for automotive applications; from the interior to even under-the-hood.

A finished design isn't a car part you can install.
You'll learn to export and print your design or send it to a print-on-demand service, even if you don't own a 3D printer yet.

Go through the workshop. Follow the method to design a real part for your build.

If you can't take your idea to a functional part with the same process — email us within 30 days and get a full refund. No forms. No hoops. No delays.
“The lessons gave me the confidence to take real-world measurements and easily reverse-engineer broken car parts.”
“This is perfect for car enthusiasts who want to learn how to 3D print and manufacture their own custom car parts.”
“Fantastic 3D-printable car part designs I could modify for my ride + full details for parts that were solid and actually worked.”
“The workshop helped me design car parts in Shapr3D for my project car way faster than I expected. ”
“Great breakdown of the center console dash insert workflow... from quick mods to full reverse engineering!”
“Shows the ‘why’ for designing car parts you can actually 3D print.”
“Awesome course! I learned a lot about car part design and the workshop helped me create reliable 3D printed car parts. Can't wait to see what you come out with next.”
❌ Hire a CAD Designer: If you hired a designer, just one custom dash insert or radio delete plate would cost: ~$200 (per design, if they get it right the first time)
❌ Generic 3D Printing Course: You don't want another course that teaches how to print "plastic toys" or random household parts that melt in the sun. ~$100
❌ Random pre-made non-automotive STL files you can't modify: ~$75
❌ Lifetime updates not specific to car part design: ~$30/per month
Total cost somewhere else: Easily over $400...
Yes, filaments like ASA are UV and water resistant — which is what we use for interior and exterior parts. It also handles up to 220°F, so it won't warp or melt on a hot day. The workshop covers exactly which material to use for each location on your car, and the print settings that make the difference between a part that holds and one that won't.
Not at all. Whether you've never opened CAD software or tried Fusion 360 and closed it an hour later — we start from scratch and teach only the features that matter for automotive parts. No engineering degree, no 47-button toolbar.
Yes. The workshop teaches you how to modify the included pre-made designs to fit your ride.
If you have a 3d printer, you’re one step ahead.
If you don't have a 3d printer yet, the 3d printing module also covers which 3d printers you can buy that work best for printing automotive grade parts.
Your designs can also be sent to a professional print-on-demand service like PCBway.com for 3d printing your part in automotive grade filaments too.
If you have a computer or laptop running Windows or MAC you’re already 90% there.
We teach the workshop using Shapr3D which is supported on Windows, MAC and a iPad with an Apple Pencil. You'll also need something to measure with, like a ruler or caliper measuring tool.
Yes. You can complete this entire workshop with the free or trial version of Shapr3D.
If you want to continue using Shapr3D for high res STL exports you can upgrade to the Pro version. We also include a 10% OFF discount code in the workshop.
The general concepts we teach are completely transferrable to other CAD software programs like Fusion 360 and FreeCAD.
However, to go from an "Idea" to a "Finished Part" in just 1 day, Shapr3D has a simple and powerful interface that makes it possible.
Yes. Several builders who've completed the workshop now take on paid design work for other car owners.
Once you have a repeatable design-to-print process, that skill is sellable. The workshop gives you the system — what you do with it is up to you.
