Fully functional prototypes

Armed with a versatile arsenal of in-house prototyping capabilities we can bring your vision to life. From one part to thousands; no project is too big or too small.

Our Prototyping Capabilities

FDM 3D Printing

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is the perfect choice for projects requiring large, strong parts with an emphasis on speed.

Wide selection of standard plastics: With FDM technology we can produce parts made of thermoplastics such as PLA, ABS, ASA, PETG and TPU to name a few
Robust and functional: FDM parts are ideal for large components or parts subject to increased wear
Dimensional accuracy: Typical tolerance of +/- 0.1 mm depending on geometry, thicker layer lines (typically 0.1-0.8 mm)

FDM Materials

ABS / ASA – Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene / Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate
PLA – Polylactic Acid
PETG – Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol
TPU (Shore hardness 85A-95A) – Thermoplastic Polyurethane
PC – Polycarbonate
PET – Polyethylene Terephthalate
Nylon

SLA 3D Printing

Stereolithography printing is the perfect choice for projects requiring highly detailed and precise components.

Wide selection of material properties: We stock a wide selection of UV resins, including high temperature, transparent and silicone-like resins
Smooth surface finish: Using SLA technology we can produce highly intricate and precise parts with a minimal layer lines
Dimensional accuracy: Typical tolerance of +/- 0.05 mm depending on geometry, thinner layer lines (typically 0.01-0.05 mm)

SLA Materials

General purpose resin – Available in a range of colours
Clear / Translucent
Temperature Resistant (Up to 250 C)
Biocompatible – Typically used for dentistry applications

Post-processing and finishing

Our in-house finishing can turn 3D printed parts into polished products, perfect for visual models.

Paints and coatings: Adding the final touches to your prototype with a wide selection of paints and finishes
Assembly and model making: Have an extensive project in mind? We can provide bespoke assembly and modelling techniques to get your project across the finish line
