From your first layer to your own workshop.
Start in your garage with an old 3D printer. Take orders, slice models, print, paint and pack. Jump in your car, deliver across town, grow your workshop and open your own store.
Early Access: December 2026Discord
The game loop
The journey of a print
An order comes in. The rest is in your hands.
Take the order
Orders land on your computer: who wants what, in which colour, and by when.
Slice and print
Slice the model, pick your settings, load the filament and watch the printer build it layer by layer.
Paint
Paint your prints and bring out the details. A plain white figure becomes something worth a shelf.
Pack
Fold the box, wrap the product, print the shipping label. Every parcel ready to go.
Deliver
Load the parcel into your car and head out into the streets of the town.
Try it yourself
Slice Piko right here
Piko the cargo astronaut, straight from the game, with the game's own settings. Slice it, then look through it layer by layer.
In your workshop
Every job is yours
Real print settings
Balance print time and material with layer height, infill and speed.
Filament and printers
Carry spools, load your printers, plan your print queue and keep your machines busy.
From keychains to vases
Keychains, figures, vases, desk organizers: every model in your catalogue can become a product.
Repair and maintenance
Take a broken printer apart, swap the part and get it back into production.
Your own store
Fill your shelves, greet customers at the counter and take their payment.
A living town
Deliveries take you out into a living, open town.
From garage to store
Start small, grow as you go
Garage
One desk, an old printer and your first orders.
Workshop
Put your earnings into new printers and materials, and scale up production.
Store
Open your own shop and put your products in the window.
