A father-and-son idea that became something more

CD to 3D started with a simple idea. My 9-year-old son wanted us to make and sell things together using our 3D printer.

What began as a father-and-son project quickly grew into designing our own products, experimenting with new ideas and creating things that other people might genuinely want to give, collect or personalise.

The name CD to 3D reflects where it started - CD comes from my son's initials, while “to 3D” represents taking an idea or design and turning it into something real.

Today, we're developing an expanding range of 3D-printed gifts, collectibles, keepsakes and personalised products, all designed and produced by us in Birmingham.

We're still a small independent maker business, and that's something we want to keep at the heart of CD to 3D as it grows.

From an idea on a screen to something you can hold - that's CD to 3D.
