01 / 3D Printing

From a file.
To something real.

Turn a digital model into a physical part you can hold, test and refine. Start with a prototype, a replacement component or a small production run.

Discuss 3d printing

What it can help with

3D Printing,
with a purpose.

Prototypes

Check shape, fit and handling before committing to the next stage.

Custom parts

Create brackets, housings, fixtures and one-off components around your requirements.

Small runs

Produce repeat parts once the design and sample have been approved.

The process

A clear path
from start to finish.

  1. 01

    Review your model

    We review the geometry, intended use, dimensions and quantity.

  2. 02

    Agree the specification

    Material, orientation, finish and any design changes are discussed before production.

  3. 03

    Print and review

    The agreed part is printed and checked against the project brief.

Preparing your brief

What to send.

  • A 3D model, ideally STL, 3MF or STEP, if you have one.
  • Overall dimensions, quantity and how the part will be used.
  • Any heat, load, outdoor exposure or appearance requirements.
  • Your preferred deadline and reference photos or drawings.

Before you begin

Good questions.

Which material should I choose?

Tell us how the part will be used. Material choice depends on strength, temperature, flexibility and finish; we will confirm suitable available options with your quote.

Can I start without a printable file?

Yes. A sketch, dimensions or an existing part can be the starting point. CAD work or scanning may be needed before printing.

What does it cost and how long does it take?

Pricing and timing depend on geometry, size, material, quantity and preparation. These are confirmed after reviewing the project.

Your next step

Tell us about
your project.

Include your files, requirements and deadline so the scope can be reviewed.
