3D Printing for Government, Schools and Companies in Singapore

Buying 3D printing for an agency, school or company: Vendors@Gov, SAP Ariba IDs, POs, itemised quotes and invoices, deposits, tracking and reorders.

3D Printing for Government, Schools and Companies in Singapore

If you buy for a government agency, a school or a company, the print is only half the job. You also need a vendor your finance team can pay, a quotation your approvers can sign off, and an invoice that matches it.

We're set up for that. ZeroCore is a registered vendor on Vendors@Gov and a registered supplier on the SAP Ariba Network. We accept purchase orders, and every quotation and invoice is itemised. This post sets out how buying from us works, step by step, with the details you'll need for your vendor forms.

Here are the identifiers procurement teams usually ask for. They're also on our business page.

Which route fits your organisation

Government agencies and public schools

Raise a purchase order and process our invoice through Vendors@Gov, the same way you would for any other registered vendor. Government agencies are invoiced through Vendors@Gov.

Companies on SAP Ariba

Find us on the SAP Ariba Network using the ANID above and transact through your usual Ariba workflow.

Everyone else

Not on either platform? A standard emailed quotation, purchase order and itemised invoice works just as well. This suits SMEs, private schools, training providers, clubs and project teams.

How ordering works, step by step

  1. Quote. Upload your STL or 3MF on the quote page for an instant price. For approval, email your files and requirements to [email protected] and we'll issue a formal, itemised quotation.
  2. PO or deposit. Raise a purchase order through your procurement platform, or confirm with the standard 50% PayNow deposit, with the balance on completion. You can also pay 100% upfront. Payment terms are confirmed with your order.
  3. File check and production. Every model is checked by hand before printing. If something looks too thin, badly oriented or more expensive than it needs to be, we tell you first. Most orders are ready within 24 to 48 hours of approval. Batch runs are scheduled to your deadline.
  4. Delivery and invoice. Islandwide delivery, or free self-collection from our Woodlands workshop near Admiralty MRT. You get an itemised invoice for your finance team.

If a deadline is tight, tell us when you ask for the quote. We'll confirm a realistic schedule before you commit, and if we can't hit the date, we'll say so before you pay.

What to put in your RFQ

A complete request gets a faster, more accurate quotation. Include:

  • The 3D files: STL, 3MF, OBJ, STEP or IGES, up to 100 MB each, or a ZIP of several parts
  • Quantity per part, and whether more will follow
  • Material and colour, or what the part has to survive so we can recommend one
  • Any critical dimensions or fits
  • Your deadline and delivery address
  • Billing entity and PO number, if you have one already
  • Any extras: an NDA, assembly, labelling, or delivery straight to your client

Extras for institutions and companies

These are available on request. Mention them in your RFQ so they're on the quotation.

ExtraWhat it covers
NDAWe sign an NDA for confidential designs before you send files
Sample printOne piece first at the normal price, so you can approve it before the batch
Photos and dimension checksPhotos of finished parts and checks of the dimensions you flag, before pickup or shipping
AssemblyMulti-part prints put together before they reach you
LabellingParts labelled to your scheme, for example by kit, class or site
Direct-to-client deliveryPacked and delivered straight to your own client

Tracking an order

Every order has its own page. You'll find the link in your confirmation email, or at /track with your email and the 8-character reference code. It shows the status from deposit to printing, ready, and shipped or collected. You can pay a deposit or balance by PayNow QR there, and get updates on Telegram.

If something arrives wrong or defective, use the Report a problem button on the order page within 30 days of delivery or collection. We reprint it free, or refund you if a reprint won't put it right, and you get a written answer on that same page. That gives you a paper trail for your records.

Recurring and repeat orders

Many organisations need the same part again: a lab component each term, spare brackets for equipment, event pieces every year.

  • Reorder at today's price. Reorder a past part from your order page.
  • Keep your files on file. Signed-in users have a file library, so the approved version is always there.
  • Consistent settings. Every piece is printed to the same settings on the same printer family, so parts match across runs.
  • Volume pricing. Quantity discounts apply automatically in your live quote. For larger runs, message us on Telegram to discuss bulk pricing. See bulk and batch printing.

What organisations order from us

  • Prototypes from your CAD exports, before you commit to tooling.
  • Jigs, fixtures and tooling aids for workshops and production lines.
  • Small-batch production of end-use parts, with no tooling cost.
  • Replacement parts for equipment, from a model.
  • Education and training kits: class sets, teaching models and lab components. Students can also see our student page.
  • Events and marketing pieces: giveaways, name tents, signage and display models.
