Smart 3D Print
for Life!
Transforming everyday routines into effortless precision. We combine years of IT logic with microcontrollers and bespoke CAD design to engineer tangible tools that didn’t exist before.
From IT Architecture to Physical Inventions
Applying software logic and enterprise problem-solving to bespoke hardware engineering.
Smart 3D print for Life!
Originating from a background in enterprise IT systems and architecture, Smart Life 3D was founded to solve real-world problems through custom 3D printing and embedded technology. What began as a focused engineering initiative has grown into a dedicated maker lab producing daily-use physical tools.
By combining IT logic with microcontrollers and precision CAD design, the studio creates tools that didn’t exist before—from clever household upgrades to automated robotics for film photography, turning technical expertise into tangible, functional solutions.

SmartHome Display (Transit Edition)
Luas Tram Live Schedule
Live arrival telemetry for Dublin public transit. Highlights Marlborough Luas line, Brides Glen, and Sandyford arrivals with countdown minutes and weather forecast.
Tactile Wake-Up with Flexible 7-Day Scheduler
Never wake your partner with a piercing audio buzzer again. The Smart Vibration Alarm Clock sits on your bedside with a crisp high-contrast digital display, custom tactile snooze dome, and embedded Wi-Fi web configuration app.
- Set unique wake times for every day of the week (Monday through Sunday)
- Adjust vibration intensity from subtle gentle pulses to high-intensity tactile buzz
- Display brightness dimming and automatic timezone synchronization
- 100% private: Operates locally on your home Wi-Fi with zero cloud subscription
Automated Film Agitation & Development Machine
Say goodbye to standing by the darkroom sink doing manual inversions for 30 minutes. Automate your black & white and color film development with micro-timed rotation.
Consistent Results, Hands-Free Operation
Traditional inversion tanks require 870ml+ of chemical solution. The SmartLife 3D Automated Roller keeps the tank continuously rotating back and forth, allowing the film reels to be fully submerged using as little as 250ml of chemistry.
