Industrial 3D printing, engineered not guessed.
Industrial SLS, SLA and FDM 3D printing with in house engineering and CAD. Bring us a broken part, a sketch, or an idea — we can model it, print it, and tell you honestly which process suits the job and which does not.
- SLS, SLA and FDM under one roof
- In-house engineering and CAD
- Reverse engineering from an existing part
- One-offs through to short production runs
The processes, and what each is for.
SLS — Selective Laser Sintering
Powder-bed nylon printing. Parts come out tough and slightly flexible, with no support structures, so complex geometry and internal features are possible that other processes cannot do. The pick for functional end-use parts and enclosures.
SLA — Stereolithography
Resin printing with fine detail and a smooth surface finish. Best where appearance and dimensional accuracy matter more than toughness — visual prototypes, fit checks, patterns and detailed small parts.
FDM — Fused Deposition Modelling
Filament printing in engineering thermoplastics. The most economical route for jigs, fixtures, brackets and larger parts where a fine finish is not the point.
Engineering and CAD
We model in-house rather than only printing what you send. If the part needs designing, redesigning to print properly, or strengthening where the original failed, that is part of the job.
Reverse engineering
Obsolete parts, discontinued components, machinery nobody supports any more. We can work from the broken original and produce a part that fits.
Choosing the right process
Each process has real trade-offs in strength, finish, cost and geometry. We will tell you which one the job actually needs — including when 3D printing is the wrong answer and machining or an off-the-shelf part is better.
Common questions.
Can you print a part if I only have the broken original?+
What if I don't have a CAD file?+
Which process will my part need?+
Can you do production runs, or just one-offs?+
Got a part nobody makes any more? That's the one we want.
