3D Printing Services

What Is 3D Printing?

It is an additive method of manufacturing. STL or CAD (computer-aided design) files can be printed from a digital format, to a physical object by laying down successive layers to build up the object.

We offer full colour, multi polymer material 3D printing. Furthermore, working models with moving parts can be 3D printed in one go thanks to the additive manufacturing technique.

Why Would You Want To 3D Print An Object?

3D printing is commonly used as a form of 3D rapid prototyping. Therefore, through 3D printing rapid prototyping, manufacturing and engineering companies can verify and change designs more often. Consequently, spending less money and time doing so!

In addition, another benefit of rapid prototyping is that you can have an end result that works the first time. Meeting your customers’ demands and overall makes your company more competitive. Rapid prototyping can also be useful in your marketing material and for sales pitches!

Tools and parts are frequently 3D printed and the materials we offer are widely used for these applications.
