Seaport Games is expanding into 3D printed games and toys. There are many fun and interactive games and toys available to print for general hobbyists and commercial businesses. This is just the starting point for Seaport Games. We are building our own game and toy designs using a 3D CAD program and will have new projects to preview here soon. It’s much faster to prototype and test game and toy designs this way. The best part is everything is built in the USA.

A New Tabletop Game

Balance Blocks is a blast!

This desktop game is easy to learn and the whole family can play. it is very similar to the Tetris video game.

The goal of the game is to maintain the balance of the blocks on the base for as long as possible. Players take turns placing a block. The player who places the last block before the base topples wins.

3DPrinting

How does it work?

A 3D printer is a computer within a printer machine. First, load a file into the computer of the printer. Think of it like a recipe or a pattern of a 3D model. Add spools of filament – one for each color needed for the 3D model. Then tweak a few settings in the slicer.

Slicer

The slicer is a program or app that determines the amount of filament needed based on the recipe, slices the 3D model into many tiny horizontal layers, and shows how long it will take to print. There are ways to edit or customize the model and the various pieces of the project.

Print

During the printing process, a heated nozzle is slowly fed the filament, melts it into a tiny layer, and places it upon a heated plate in the machine. Each 3D model is built layer by layer. When the finished 3D model cools, remove the newly printed toy and enjoy!

Filament

Seaport Games only uses bio-based filaments from renewable resources in our 3D printed games and toys. Our games are good clean fun for your family and the environment.
