Pillar 02 — Design Network
df3d connects designers with 3D printing work. We don't do design. We make it possible for you to.
Join a curated network of 3D designers and receive briefs from clients who need expert modelling work.
How It Works
Simple from application to payment
Apply to join
Submit your portfolio. We review applications manually — only skilled, reliable designers are accepted.

When a client's project matches your skills and availability, we send you the brief.
Deliver the work
Work directly with the client via the df3d platform. Files, feedback, and revisions — all in one place.
Get paid
Payment is guaranteed and released when the client approves the deliverable. No chasing invoices.
