3D Printing

Additive is the right tool when the part is light, hollow, integrated or simply impossible to fixture. We treat it as a manufacturing process, not a desk toy.

Additive is the right tool when the part is light, hollow, integrated or simply impossible to fixture. We treat it as a manufacturing process, not a desk toy.

Stereolithography gives the smoothest surfaces and the clearest transparent parts — ideal for cosmetic appearance models, fluidic prototypes and optical housings. SLS nylon makes tough snap-fits, ducts and jigs without support material, and metal SLM covers conformal-cooled tooling inserts and lightweight brackets in stainless, tool steel or aluminium.

Build direction is the decision that sets strength, finish and cost. Our engineers will rotate your model and show you the trade-off rather than simply printing it as delivered.

Frequently asked

For many of them, yes. We provide material datasheets, layer-direction drawings and mechanical test coupons with the batch.
Yes, with a vapour-smooth route; expect a small dimensional change which we allow for in the model.
