Our Story – Modern Smithery

Modern Smithery is a Christchurch-based design and manufacturing studio helping people and businesses turn ideas into reality.

We started with creating unique products like coasters, calendars, and custom décor, and have grown into a hub for custom design, prototyping, and light manufacturing. With advanced 3D printing and CAD design, we provide New Zealanders with affordable, flexible, and sustainable ways to bring concepts to life.

For Individuals

We make personalised gifts, creative décor, and custom items that stand out. Every piece is designed and made right here in Canterbury, with a focus on quality and originality.

For Businesses

Not every idea needs a factory. Modern Smithery partners with small businesses, start-ups, and entrepreneurs to deliver:

Rapid prototyping – test and refine your products quickly and affordably.

Small-batch manufacturing – produce only what you need, when you need it.

Custom design services – from CAD drawings to finished parts.
