We're a family business in Auckland, New Zealand.
My three kids, aged 8, 10 & 14 and I are what make up Formex 3D Lab. It started on our kitchen table, and it still lives there. I design every piece myself — not downloaded, not bought in. The kids are the quality control. If a dragon doesn't wiggle right, or a fidget isn't satisfying enough, they'll tell me. Loudly. Usually before I've finished it.
There's a printer running in our house most nights. When an order comes in, one of us is up making it. Nothing sits in a warehouse, because there is no warehouse. It's just us.
What we make
Flexi dragons, Octopuses and Manta Rays that ripple through your fingers. Fidgets that survive a school bag, along with the charms that go on the bag too. Spinning tops, phone stands, wall tiles and desk pieces, along with kids and adult home decor items and our soon to be released personally created flexi line. Each one is printed to order, in whichever of our ten + awesome colours that you will love and be mesmerised by.
Custom pieces
If you want something that doesn't exist yet, ask. We design one-off pieces too — a name, a favourite animal, a gift for one specific or special person. That's the part we love most.
Thank you
Every order lands genuinely with care and attention to detail in our home — it isn't a notification in a warehouse somewhere. Whether you're down the road in Auckland or on the other side of the world, you're keeping something small or passing it along. All while making one families dream in to a reality, one 3D print at a time.
Have a look around and if what you're after isn't here, just ask — chances are we can make it, because we love to bring your custom designs to life and witness the smiles and joy this is sure to bring to your faces as well as ours.
