3D printing and model making for Gandhinagar, from a studio 25 km away
Gandhinagar is a planned capital, so much of the work here is about showing something: a stall model for the Helipad Exhibition Centre, a presentation model for a public project, a prototype for a GIFT City start-up, a jury piece for a design student. Layer X prints, laser-cuts and assembles these at 204, Iscon Emporio, Satellite, Ahmedabad, about 25 km away. We have no office in Gandhinagar. You can collect from the studio or we courier the finished work, and the quote arrives within 24 hours.

What we make
Stall and exhibition models
Enlarged products, machine models and plant layouts for Helipad Exhibition Centre shows such as Indian Ceramics Asia and The smarter E India, printed in sections, joined and given an acrylic base and cover.
Presentation models for public projects
Massing and site models in FDM or SLA with laser-cut bases, suited to architects and consultants presenting to departments in the capital.
Fintech and deep-tech device prototypes
Housings, brackets and fit-check parts for hardware start-ups in and near GIFT City, printed in SLA for detail or FDM for sturdier test units.
Lab and instrument fixtures
Racks, holders and enclosures for scientific-instrument makers and research groups, in the spirit of lab-equipment shows like Asia Labex.
Student and jury models
Mechanism prototypes, thesis models and competition parts for engineering and design students at the city's institutes.
Who we make it for
- Exhibitors at Helipad Exhibition Centre shows who need machine, plant or product models before the hall opens
- Hardware and fintech-device start-ups around GIFT City who need housings and fit-check prototypes
- Architects and consultants preparing presentation models for public or institutional projects in the capital
- Students and research teams at IIT Gandhinagar, Pandit Deendayal Energy University and the NID extension campus
- Event and branding agencies producing laser-cut signage, stands and props for Mahatma Mandir conferences
Choosing the right process
| Option | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Courier to Gandhinagar | We make the work in Ahmedabad and send it in protective packing. Transit time is confirmed with your quote. | Office, institute or site deliveries where you cannot travel |
| Collect from Satellite | Pick up at 204, Iscon Emporio, Jodhpur Cross Roads. We confirm when your work is ready. | Fragile models and people already commuting between the two cities |
| Planning around an expo date | Work back from the show: quote in 24 h, then the process lead time, then courier or collection, then a spare day for setup. Larger models take longer to approve. | Helipad Exhibition Centre exhibitors and Mahatma Mandir summit teams |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have an office in Gandhinagar?
No. Layer X has one studio, at 204, Iscon Emporio, Jodhpur Cross Roads, Satellite, Ahmedabad, about 25 km from Gandhinagar. Everything is made there, and you either collect it or we courier it to you.
Can you make a model for a show at the Helipad Exhibition Centre?
Yes. Helipad Exhibition Centre hosts shows such as Asia Labex (21-23 January 2027), Indian Ceramics Asia (3-5 March 2027) and The smarter E India (9-11 March 2027), per their organisers. We make the model and base in Ahmedabad; we do not install it at the venue. Send the date with your brief so we can plan lead time.
I am a start-up near GIFT City. Can you print a single prototype?
Yes, there is no minimum order. A typical brief is a housing for a payment or sensor device: SLA for fine detail, FDM for a tougher test unit. Quote within 24 hours.
Is Gandhinagar close enough to collect from your studio?
It is a short drive from the capital to Satellite, so many customers collect, especially for fragile models. If you prefer courier, transit time is confirmed with your quote.
Do you work with students from IIT Gandhinagar, PDEU or the NID campus?
Yes, for prototypes, mechanism models and thesis or jury models. Send your file and deadline, and tell us your intended process if you have one. We will advise on lead time and material.
