Custom Film Props & 3D Printed Prop Fabrication in Montreal.
3DRM Tech supports film productions, television, advertising, theatre, creative studios and entertainment teams with custom props, set components, costume pieces, replicas, display models and production prototypes using 3D printing, CAD, 3D scanning and CNC machining.
When the production needs an object that does not exist anywhere else.
Film and entertainment projects frequently require physical objects that cannot be purchased off the shelf. Props may need unusual proportions, fictional geometry, repeated copies, lightweight construction, specific mounting features or integration with an existing costume or set.
3DRM Tech can support production teams through CAD design, FDM, SLS and SLA 3D printing, 3D scanning, CNC machining and metalworking, composites, rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing.
Digital fabrication makes it possible to create a first physical version, review it with the art or production team and revise the CAD before additional copies are manufactured.
Custom fabricated objects for screen, stage, advertising and display.
The right manufacturing method depends on size, level of detail, strength, weight, finish, handling requirements and the number of copies needed.
Hero & Background Props
Custom physical objects for suitable film, television, advertising, stage and media productions.
Replica Components
Reproduce suitable physical objects or components from CAD, reference dimensions or scanned geometry.
Set Components
Custom decorative and mechanical elements for sets, displays, installations and environments.
Costume Components
Custom rigid costume details, accessories, mounts and wearable prototype components.
Display & Presentation Models
Physical models for concept presentation, product placement, displays and production review.
Mechanical Prop Parts
Custom brackets, housings, adapters and non-standard interfaces for suitable moving or assembled props.
3D Scanned Objects
Capture suitable physical geometry for digital duplication, modification and scale changes.
Concept Prototypes
Physical versions used to evaluate size, appearance and assembly before final fabrication.
Duplicate Prop Runs
Small quantities of repeat components when a production requires several matching pieces.
Can a film prop be created directly from a 3D model?
Often, yes. If production-ready geometry exists, it can be reviewed for scale, printability, assembly and manufacturing before a physical version is created.
Can you 3D print custom movie props in Montreal?
Yes. 3D printing can be well suited to complex prop geometry, replicas, housings, costume components and objects that need several design revisions before the final version.
Explore 3D Printing →Can you make a prop if I only have concept artwork?
Depending on the project, concept artwork, sketches and dimensions can be used as references for developing the CAD required before manufacturing.
Explore CAD Design →Can you scan an existing object and make a replica?
For suitable objects, 3D scanning can capture physical geometry that may then be reconstructed, modified or scaled digitally before manufacturing.
Explore 3D Scanning →Can you make several identical props?
Yes. Once a digital design has been validated, suitable props and components can move into repeat or low-volume production.
Explore Low-Volume Production →From production concept to physical prop.
Start with concept art, CAD, reference images, measurements, an existing object or a description of what the production needs.
Review the Prop
Confirm dimensions, visual intent, handling needs, quantity and production context.
Create or Prepare CAD
Develop the geometry and divide larger objects into manufacturable assemblies where needed.
Prototype & Review
Manufacture the physical object and review scale, fit, appearance and assembly.
Revise or Duplicate
Apply production feedback and manufacture the final version or required duplicate quantity.
Combine digital modeling and fabrication around the production requirement.
What should I send for a custom film or production prop?
Provide as much visual and dimensional information as possible. Concept art, CAD files, reference photography and intended physical dimensions all help define the project accurately.

Questions about custom props, replicas and production fabrication.
Does 3DRM Tech fabricate custom film props in Montreal?
Yes. 3DRM Tech can support suitable film, television, media, advertising and entertainment projects with CAD, 3D printing, scanning and custom fabrication.
Can you 3D print a custom movie prop?
Yes. 3D printing is well suited to many complex prop shapes, custom components, replicas and designs that may require several iterations.
Can you make a prop from concept art?
Depending on the project, concept artwork and dimensions can provide a starting point for creating the CAD needed before manufacturing.
Can you 3D scan an existing object and make another one?
For suitable objects, scanning can capture the physical geometry for digital reconstruction, scaling or modification before fabrication.
Can you create multiple copies of the same prop?
Yes. After the digital model and first physical version are validated, suitable parts can move into repeat or low-volume production.
Can you fabricate custom costume components?
Suitable rigid costume details, mounts, accessories and wearable components can be developed using CAD and digital manufacturing.
Can you create large props?
Depending on the geometry and manufacturing process, larger objects may be divided into multiple components and assembled after fabrication.
What should I send for a prop fabrication quote?
Send CAD if available, concept art, reference images, dimensions, required quantity and information about how the finished prop will be used.
