Easter Bank Holiday 2026 Closure: What It Means for Your 3D Printing Orders

Easter Bank Holiday 2026 Closure: What It Means for Your 3D Printing Orders

Easter Bank Holiday Closure – What You Need to Know
 
As the Easter bank holiday approaches, we wanted to let you know about our operating hours over the holiday period and how this may affect your orders.

If you’re planning a project using our 3D printing service, please take note of the dates below to avoid any disruption.

3D printed parts being carefully postprocessed and inspected - professional finishing services UK

Our Opening Hours

We will be closed on the following dates:

Good Friday

Bank Holiday Monday

During this time, our production and dispatch operations will be paused across all services, including SLS 3D printing, SLA 3D printing, and FDM 3D printing.

What This Means for Your Orders

If you’re planning a project or need parts urgently, it’s important to factor in the bank holiday closure:

Orders placed before the holiday will continue to be processed as normal where possible

Orders placed during the closure will be processed when we reopen

Lead times may be slightly extended due to the reduced working days

For production-ready parts, we recommend reviewing our SLS design guidelines to avoid delays caused by design issues.

Instant Quotes Still Available

Our instant quote tool will remain available 24/7 over the bank holiday period.

You can still upload your files, receive pricing, and place orders at any time. These will automatically enter our production queue and be prioritised once we reopen.

Post-Processing Services

All finishing services such as vapour smoothing and painting will also resume after the holiday period.
If your parts require a high-quality finish, it’s worth planning ahead to account for both printing and post-processing lead times.

Need Parts Quickly After the Holiday?

If you have a time-sensitive project, placing your order in advance ensures you’re first in the queue when operations resume.

For functional end-use parts, our SLS nylon printing service is typically the fastest and most scalable option.

Back to Normal

We’ll resume normal operating hours on the next working day after the bank holiday.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us and we’ll respond as soon as we’re back.
