3D Printing
If you need a part quickly, want to test a design before committing to tooling, or have geometry that is difficult to manufacture traditionally, fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printing gives you a fast, flexible solution.
The perfect balance of speed and precision
FDM 3D printing builds parts layer by layer from a digital file, which means you can move from CAD to a physical prototype without the time and cost of moulds or tooling.
That makes it ideal when you are working through revisions, validating fit, or proving a concept before you scale into full manufacture. In some circumstances, 3D printing is also perfect for high-volume requirements. We make the process seamless, quickly bringing your designs to life.
What is 3D printing used for?
Validate fit, form and function before you commit time or budget to tooling. It is a fast way to remove risk from the process, gather feedback and refine your design while changes are still easy.
Produce low-run components quickly, especially where the geometry would be difficult or expensive to machine. It is ideal when you need a practical, working part on a short lead time, or want repeatable output without committing to moulds.
FDM has fewer traditional design constraints than many other methods, making complex geometries easier to achieve. That opens up options for internal features, curved forms and consolidated parts that would otherwise require multiple components or complex assembly.
How our 3D printing service works
Share your CAD
You send a CAD model or file ready for print.
How our 3D printing service works
Prepare the print
We choose the right material, set tolerances, then slice the model into printable layers.
How our 3D printing service works
Print, layer by layer
Thermoplastic filament is heated and deposited in a programmed path, building each layer until the part is complete.
How our 3D printing service works
Cooling and bonding
Each layer fuses to the one beneath as it cools, forming a solid part.
How our 3D printing service works
Support removal and clean-up
Where required, we remove supports and tidy the part ready for use or further finishing.
How our 3D printing service works
Post-processing and finish
If you need it, we can sand, prep, paint, assemble, or finish parts so they arrive presentation-ready.

Manufacturing for any industry
We use 3D printing to produce accurate components quickly, supporting design validation and efficient short run production.
Our manufacturing process
Think. Plan. Prototype. Develop. Deliver
We’ll become your manufacturing partners, advising you on design practicalities and supporting you every step of the way.
01
Think
Our discovery process helps us understand what you need and why you need it.
02
Plan
Here’s where we work out any issues, working with you to decide how we’ll bring your designs to life.
03
Prototype
If required, we’ll create a sample, allowing you to see the physical product before we go into production.
04
Develop
Production begins; we’ll keep you in the loop at all times.
05
Deliver
Feedback is incredibly important to us. Here, we work with you to iterate on future projects together.
