What we do
four things,
one workshop
Almost nobody arrives wanting "a 3D print". They want a part that fits, a prototype they can hold, or forty engraved awards by the end of the month. Most jobs use two or three of these together.
- 01 3D scanning object : file
Some shapes cannot be measured with a ruler — a worn handle, a curved cover, a sculptural piece with no drawing anywhere. We capture the real object and turn it into something you can measure, change and make again.
from £30 - 02 3D modelling and design sketch : model
You do not need CAD skills, measurements or the right words. Bring a photo, a scribble or a description of what the thing has to do, and we work out the rest.
from £35 - 03 3D printing file : object
Not just pressing print. We check the file against what the part actually has to do, choose a material that suits it, and inspect and finish the result before it leaves.
from £15 - 04 Laser cutting and engraving blank : engraved
Engraving lasts in a way that vinyl and print do not. We check the artwork against the material first, so fine lines stay readable and the finish is the one you expected.
from £15
Three routes people take most often.
Each of these is one job, not three quotes. You are billed for the route, not per department.
broken : working
Scan the original, rebuild the shape as a model, print the replacement. The usual route when the part stopped being sold years ago.
scanning → modelling → printing
sketch : prototype
Model it from your drawing, print a test, change what does not work, print it again. Usually two or three rounds.
modelling → printing → revision
fixture list : boxed awards
Design one piece, engrave the names and numbers, repeat across the batch. Ten or more brings the price per piece down.
modelling → engraving → batch
Honest limits
What we will not take on.
No structural or load-bearing parts. Nothing fitted to a vehicle in a safety role. No medical devices. No work where dimensional accuracy has a safety consequence.
If a job needs engineering sign-off or certified material, it is not one for us.
We say this at the quote stage, plainly, rather than accepting the work and disclaiming it in small print afterwards. Where we can, we will point you at a better route.
got something
in mind?
Send a photo, a file, or two sentences. We will tell you how we would make it, what it will cost, and when you would get it.
