About Walt 3D
Built from
one big idea.
Walt 3D was founded to give individuals and companies a more capable, more personal way to turn ideas into real products.
Hi, I’m Brian Walt—the owner of Walt 3D.
Walt 3D was founded in 2015 with one 3D printer and a big idea: use modern technology to make well-designed hardware more accessible. Today, we create custom solutions for plastic, metal, and other product-focused challenges, from the first sketch through prototypes and production.
Quality and attention to detail guide every project. Our design tools, in-house capabilities, and trusted production resources help clients move faster, make informed decisions, and reach practical, budget-conscious solutions.
Whether you need a single printed part, a reverse-engineered component, or a scalable manufacturing plan, Walt 3D brings the same hands-on approach. We work with independent inventors, growing businesses, and established organizations across a wide range of industries—because the only real limit is what you can imagine.
Our mission
Custom-fit
solutions.
Walt 3D’s mission is to create solutions that match each client’s vision, needs, and application. It starts by building a genuine connection, listening closely, and then applying the right skills and resources to the challenge.
