Buildplate Studio
Purpose-built product designers that turn personalized 3D-print orders into production-ready STL and 3MF files.

Independent software & creative technology studio · Philippines
Arabis Works is an independent software and creative technology studio building practical digital products, design tools, and interactive experiences.
01 — The studio
We design and build software, creative tools, and digital experiences that help people make, work, and create. Our own products come first; we also take on selected projects where the problem is a strong fit.
How the studio works02 — Products
Purpose-built product designers that turn personalized 3D-print orders into production-ready STL and 3MF files.

A creator storefront and membership for original 3D-printing files, design tools, templates and resources.
03 — Selected work

A private parametric workshop that hosts many independent 3D designers behind one login.
A cinematic 3D-printing simulation that replays real slicer G-code strand by strand.
04 — Expertise
Focused applications, business tools and specialized web platforms.
Interactive design tools and product configurators for things that get made.
Workflows, integrations and internal systems that remove repetitive work.
Web-based 3D visualization, previews and model interaction.
05 — Approach
Every product starts from a job someone is already doing by hand. If it does not make that job shorter or more reliable, it does not ship.
A tool that knows its product can hide the complexity a general tool exposes. We would rather build sixty focused designers than one editor that needs a manual.
Released means released. Prototypes, betas and plans are labelled as such, on this site and in the products themselves.
06 — Founder
I'm Aldrin. Arabis Works is my independent studio: I design, build and maintain its products myself, from the geometry inside Buildplate Studio to the servers it runs on.
The studio name keeps those products under one roof, and gives the people who use them a clear business to talk to.
More about the studioWe take on selected projects and collaborations where the problem is a strong fit for our expertise: configurators, creative tools, focused web applications and 3D on the web.
