The 3D parts database is meant help you in making even more complex & inspiring models. The Database has a collection of mechanical models such as gears, springs & gearboxes that you can download for free. These parts are:

  • available under a Creative Commons license
  • all can be downloaded in the STL format
  • some also in the STEP and IGES formats.
  • All models have been test printed by us

We hope you enjoy the database. We will be expanding the number of files you can download in response to demand. So if you're missing something, ask us for it. Click here to visit the 3D parts databse and see what you can download.

We used the Stampmaker to make a 3D printed QR code stamps   (and you can too). Now you can put a stamp everywhere and someone can take a picture of this stamp and get taken to your website. See how that works here.
