Central Coast 3D Printing
Located in the heart of California's Central Coast, near the serene shores of Monterey and the vibrant community of Santa Cruz, California, Central Coast 3D Printing is pioneering a path towards a more sustainable future. Our mission is deeply rooted in the principle of environmental responsibility—specifically focusing on reducing plastic pollution and enhancing ecosystem recovery on traditional indigenous Ohlone Territory.
At Central Coast 3D Printing, we are dedicated to achieving a net-negative plastic usage. We aim to collaborate with the high-tech and emerging technology sectors, the recycling industry, and local reforestation and rewilding initiatives. Our commitment extends to using 100% recycled materials for all our packaging and implementing internal programs that encourage customers to return used products. We want to ensure that every piece of waste from our production cycle is either recycled or biodegraded properly, aiming to responsibly manage our products throughout their entire lifespan.
Our vision is ambitious: transforming our community’s relationship with plastic waste both literally and figuratively as we work to recycle discarded landfill waste into usable 3D printing filaments to craft new usable products that serve both community and environmental responsibility. We are not just a business; we are a movement towards a world where technology heals the planet.
Central Coast 3D Printing believes in empowering our community with knowledge and tools. We are working to offer free educational resources online and alongside our products to inform the public about the types of plastics and their environmental impacts. Our long-term goal is to evolve into a non-profit organization, where we can further share our resources, including donating 3D printers to the community and teaching others how to utilize this transformative technology and eventually become a recycling facility ourselves, recycling ocean and landfill waste into usable filament, and helping to implement compost and PLA biodegrading programs nationwide.
We are actively engaged with the local culture, offering special discounts on 3D printed merchandise for local events and creating unique, eco-friendly merch that celebrate our rich community.
Join us at Central Coast 3D Printing as we redefine what it means to be environmentally conscious in the tech industry, building a community of like-minded enthusiasts and professionals who share our passion for a cleaner, greener world.
Central Coast 3D Printing is at the forefront of an exciting journey towards innovation and sustainability. Although we are currently in the startup phase, our ambitions are grand, and our enthusiasm for the future is boundless. Presently, we operate a small but pioneering 3D print store as we work towards achieving nonprofit status and securing the necessary funding to expand our reach and impact.
Visit our Etsy store to explore our range of 3D printed objects. Whether you're looking to purchase a unique piece directly or have a custom design in mind, we are here to bring your ideas to life. Our products are crafted with environmental consciousness at their core, utilizing biodegradable plastics to minimize environmental impact.
Do you need a specific small part or a complete product that is hard to find or typically involves toxic materials? Think of Central Coast 3D Printing before you turn to overseas alternatives. We offer custom design services to meet nearly any need. From replacement parts to novel creations, we can design and produce what you require using environmentally friendly materials. Not only does this approach support local business and reduces your carbon footprint, but it also often presents a cost-effective alternative to ordering conventional toxic plastics.
If you have an idea or a need for a product, reach out to us. We are eager to explore how we can make your concept a reality, supporting both your needs and the planet’s health.

At Central Coast 3D Printing, we are constantly exploring new technologies and expanding our services to better serve our community and the environment. Here’s a sneak peek at what we’re working towards:
We are excited to announce that we are in the process of adding 3D scanning to our suite of services. This cutting-edge technology will enable us to create highly accurate digital models of physical objects. These models can then be used for replicating, analyzing, or modifying objects in a digital space, providing immense value for heritage conservation, manufacturing, and personalized product design. Stay tuned for updates as we develop this capability!
Another initiative in the pipeline is the introduction of mobile 3D printing services. We plan to bring our 3D printing technology directly to you at local events, fairs, and schools. Our goal is to showcase the potential of sustainable printing technologies and to educate the public about the environmental impacts of traditional plastic usage. Through live demonstrations and interactive sessions, we aim to inspire and inform the community about the benefits of embracing greener technologies.
This mobile experience will not only spread the word about the importance of reducing plastic waste but also demonstrate the practical capabilities of 3D printing in everyday life. By engaging directly with the community, we hope to foster a better understanding and greater support for sustainable practices across the Central Coast.
Located near some of the country's most beautiful beaches, Central Coast 3D Printing is deeply committed to preserving our oceans. The ocean is the largest repository for global plastic waste, not just from the U.S. but from around the world. This not only contaminates our water but also poses severe threats to marine wildlife. We are determined to tackle this issue head-on by developing innovative ways to recycle ocean waste and integrate it into our filament production.
Our goal is to clean up existing waste and pioneer processes that effectively break down plastics, preventing them from entering our ecosystems—especially our oceans. By transforming harmful waste into useful products, we aim to turn a critical environmental threat into an opportunity for sustainable development. Looking ahead, we plan to collaborate with city waste management programs, other non-profits, and the local community to enhance our recycling capabilities. Together, we can clean up our oceans and ensure that plastics serve our needs rather than harm our world.
If you are passionate about protecting our oceans, interested in supporting or learning more about our initiatives, or if you want to host a 3D printing demonstration at your event, please contact us. We are eager to share our passion for sustainable technology and look forward to making a significant impact together as part of our community's environmental solutions.
