This page lists companies that serve Los Angeles, not only shops located there. eCadCam, Hollywood 3D Printing, There You Have It and Gentle Giant Studios have a shop in or near Los Angeles, print for the public and have a current website. PrintAWorld is a New York studio that ships to Los Angeles. Shops that have closed, online marketplaces without a local shop, and makerspaces where you print yourself are left out. “Best” here means best for a kind of job: no company is best at everything. Nobody paid to be listed, and we didn’t order from the other shops: we read their websites on and wrote down only what they say. Ratings change every week, so they aren’t on the page.
