3D printing
file:object — Send the file. We handle the rest of it.
Send the file. We handle the rest of it.
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.

Printed parts : assembled piece
A birdhouse printed in parts and assembled here. Nothing is staged — the left is exactly what came off the plate.
More than a machine and a file.
What you actually walk away with.
- 01
A well-made physical piece from your file, idea or reference part
We check the design and how the piece will be used before committing material to the print.
- 02
One-offs, prototypes, replacement parts and small matching batches
Order the quantity the job calls for without being pushed into a factory-sized minimum run.
- 03
Printing, clean-up and hand-finishing in the same workshop
The job stays with us from file check to final inspection, including assembly or sanding where needed.
Three steps, and you hear from us at each one.
No black box, no silent weeks.
- 01
Check the file and purpose
We start with what the part needs to do and where it will be used, then make sure the approach suits the job.
- 02
Choose the best approach
We choose a material and print setup to suit how the piece will be used and how it should look.
- 03
Print, inspect and finish
We print the part, check the result and complete the finishing needed for use, gifting, display or testing.
What it costs
3D printing

Good fit
Jobs this suits.

- Replacement clips, brackets, covers and workshop fixtures
- Small batches of event pieces, awards or product samples
- Files that need a reliable printer and a real person checking the result
- Props, displays and practical models that need hand-finishing
- Customers who want the print handled without buying their own machine
Not for us
What we turn down.
Structural or load-bearing parts, anything with a vehicle-safety role, medical devices, and any job where a failure could hurt someone.
We say so at the quote stage rather than taking the work and adding small print afterwards. Where we can, we will point you at a better route.
Who asks us for this, and what for.
Three groups this comes up with most.
Product prototypes and maker projects
- Produce first physical versions of housings, brackets, fixtures and product samples
- Test fit, scale and handling before committing to a more expensive route
- Print revised iterations without buying or maintaining a printer
Repair, workshop and practical parts
- Make replacement clips, covers, spacers, handles and non-critical fixtures
- Print useful jigs, templates and workshop helpers for small operations
- Pair with scanning or modelling when the part does not already have a file
Events, clubs and small branded runs
- Create trophies, tokens, display pieces and themed event objects
- Run small batches of personalised or numbered pieces
- Combine printing with finishing or laser detail when the item needs presentation value
