Our Expertise

- Precision Manufacturing from Prototype to Production

We specialise in on-demand 3D printing for engineering, aerospace, automotive, and consumer product sectors.

Our technical team supports every stage — from rapid prototyping to functional low-volume manufacturing — ensuring high accuracy, strength, and repeatability.

FDM 3D printing for durable prototypes
SLA 3D printing for smooth, detailed models
SLS 3D printing for industrial-grade end-use parts

Every part is made using engineering-grade materials, ensuring performance that rivals injection moulding.

3D Printing Service

SLS 3D Printing

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printing is ideal for producing industrial-rated, functional, end-use parts on demand. Perfect for low-volume production.

SLA 3D Printing

Stereolithography (SLA) or resin 3D printing is great for concept models, rapid prototypes, master patterns, snap fit assemblies and form and fit testing.

FDM 3D Printing

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is a widely used technology, ideal for large-scale printing, basic proof of concept models and simple prototyping.

Vapour Smoothing Service

Shaping the Future of Plastic with Vapour Smoothing

Enhance both the appearance and performance of your 3D printed parts with our advanced 3D printing service. Vapour smoothing dramatically improves surface finish and mechanical strength, unlocking new possibilities across industries such as medical, automotive, food & beverage, and consumer goods.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does 3D printing cost in the UK?

Many factors can affect the total cost of a 3D print. How many parts you need, the material you require and any post-processing can all add to the total cost. There are ways to make 3D printing cheaper such as nesting your parts together. Use our 3D printing calculator to see how much it can cost

What materials can be 3D printed?

We offer a wide range of materials at our 3D printing service including: ABS, Carbon Fibre, Nylon PA12 GF(SLS), PEEK, ULTEM 1010 and many more

How quickly can a UK 3D printing service deliver?

Depending on size and geometry, we can have parts turned around in as little as three days. We do offer an express service, please contact us to find out more about improving your lead times

Are 3D printed parts strong?

We offer SLA & SLS materials which exhibit isotropic properties. Parts printed using these processes can be very strong dependant on the geometry
