Supporting Canadians has always been at the core of who we are.
Our story began with InkSmith, where we focused on empowering the next generation of Canadian innovators through 21st-century classroom learning tools — including 3D printers, laser cutters, and coding & robotics kits.
When the pandemic hit, we launched The Canadian Shield and collaborated with makers across the country in the Community Shield Project to 3D print and manufacture essential PPE for frontline workers.
Through it all, we saw firsthand how passionate, resourceful, and driven the Canadian maker community truly is.
That’s what led us to acquire Filaments.ca — a trusted Canadian brand already known by thousands of makers from coast to coast.
Our focus is simple: source high-quality, affordable filament from trusted global partners, and make sure Canadian makers have reliable, local access — with fulfillment, customer service, and community support based right here at home.
Every order you place supports jobs in Ontario, strengthens our local economy, and helps us invest in better service, better pricing, and better product options.
We’re just getting started.
As we look ahead, we’re committed to expanding our product offering, improving your shopping experience, and finding new ways to support Canadian makers — whether you're building the future in a classroom, a workshop, or your own garage.
Thank you for supporting Canadian-owned businesses like ours. We’re here because of you — and for you.
