The cost of a 3D print is determined by many factors. These include: the material you require, the size of the model, and any post-processing required. 

The number of parts you require also contributes to the total budget. We offer discounts for orders of 25+, 50+, & 100+ units. If you require a larger batch order, get in touch for a bespoke price.

We offer four different manufacturing speeds:

• Lightning (Same day)
• Express (1-3 business days)
• Standard (3-6 business days)
• Economy (10 business days)

Yes, of course! Our minimum order value is just 15€ plus VAT and shipping.

Once you receive your prototype, let us know if there are any changes you’d like to make. When you’re ready, we can go ahead with a larger batch order using the same printing setup to ensure you get the exact same results.

Our FDM printers have a precision tolerance of approximately 0.1 mm on the Z-axis and 0.3 mm on the X and Y.

In some cases, they can be as accurate as 0.05 but this depends on choice of material and printing conditions.

3D printing allows you to create all kinds of objects, both functional and for prototyping purposes.
Here are some of the things people use it for:

Replacement & Spare Parts
Jewellery
Art
Fashion
Manufacturing
Prototyping
Construction
Car Parts
Miniatures

The only limit is your imagination!

SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) 3D printing operates using a high-powered laser to selectively fuse successive layers of powdered material into a three-dimensional object. This additive manufacturing process enables the creation of intricate and complex structures by melting and solidifying powdered material layer by layer, without requiring support structures.

On the other hand, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing works by extruding a continuous filament of thermoplastic material, like PLA or ASA, through a heated nozzle onto a build platform. The nozzle moves precisely, depositing melted material layer by layer, which quickly cools and solidifies to form the desired three-dimensional object from the ground up.

These methods diverge from traditional manufacturing approaches by offering enhanced design flexibility and customization, capable of producing intricate geometries with minimal material wastage. Traditional methods often necessitate extensive tooling and setup for mass production, which is markedly more expensive and time-consuming.

High-performance materials like SLS Nylon PA12 and carbon fibre PETG allow for the creation of parts with robust mechanical properties that stand up against injection moulded alternatives. Moreover, 3D printing’s layer-by-layer additive process permits precise control over material deposition, enabling the optimization of internal structures and load-bearing capabilities.
