Industries

3D printing for automotive, aerospace, medical, product design, jewellery and manufacturing — what gets printed, what it gets printed in, and which machine does it.

3D printing is not one thing. What it is good for — and which machine and material to use — depends entirely on what industry you are in and what the part has to survive. These are the six we print for most.

Industries we print for

Automotive & motorsport — Jigs and fixtures that hold a panel where it needs to be

Aerospace & defence — Weight comes out

Medical & orthotics — Insoles and splints made to one person rather than to a size

Product design & consumer — Something to put on the table at the review

Jewellery & giftware — Castable patterns clean enough to burn out without residue

Manufacturing & tooling — The parts that make the parts: fixtures

Not on the list?

The list is where the volume is, not the limit. We have printed for film, for archaeology, for a brewery and for a zoo. Describe the part and an engineer will tell you what is realistic before anyone talks money.

Or have us do the job

Most customers start with our printing service rather than a machine — send the file, get a price and a lead time, usually the same working day. When the volume justifies a printer of your own, we sell those too.

Need this today?

Ring the office and ask — somebody who runs the machines will pick up and answer it properly.

STL, STEP, IGES, OBJ or 3MF. An engineer looks at the geometry and comes back with a price, usually the same working day.
