Manufacture from an existing file
3D printing prepared for how the part will actually be used
We manufacture individual parts, prototypes and repeat batches after checking geometry, material, orientation, finish and functional requirements.
At a glance
If you already have an STL, 3MF or OBJ file, we check whether the mesh is closed, whether walls are manufacturable and whether the orientation puts strength and finish in the right places. STEP, STP, IGES, IGS, DXF and DWG are treated as design data and may need preparation.
We do not send a file straight to a machine. We review dimensions, clearances, fragile areas, supports, layer direction, production time and deformation risk. If we find a concern, we explain it before quoting.

01
What can be made
FDM printing is useful when a part needs specific geometry, quick changes or a limited quantity. We work for individual customers as well as professional teams.
- Brackets, hooks, adapters and bases
- Enclosures and guards for non-certified electronics
- Organisers for homes, kitchens, bathrooms, desks and workshops
- Form, assembly and functional prototypes
- Replacement parts where the material and risk are appropriate
- Personalised objects, decor and hobby accessories
02
One unit, several parts or a batch
A single part can solve a very particular need. For repeat quantities, we assess whether setup is shared and machine utilisation genuinely reduces unit cost. At higher volumes, we compare 3D printing honestly with other processes.
- 1 unit to test or use
- Several variants with small changes
- A small series with a defined version and colour
- Larger batches only when capacity, quality and economics make sense
03
Tolerance, finish and strength
Layer lines are part of the process. Strength is directional and the same nominal dimension will not automatically fit identically in every material. We define critical surfaces, required clearance and finish before manufacture.
- Finish may be matte, satin or more technical depending on material
- Support marks may remain in agreed areas
- Critical fits and holes may require a sample or post-processing
- On-screen colour may differ from the physical material
04
What we need to know
The file is only part of the brief. Tell us where the part will be used, what load it sees, whether it faces sun or moisture, what must fit and what would happen if it failed.
- File and units of measurement
- Quantity and critical dimensions
- Indoor or outdoor use
- Load, impact, bending, heat and moisture
- Preferred material and colour, if known
- Required date and delivery destination
05
If you supply the model
You confirm that you may use the file and that its design intent, units, source dimensions and intended use are accurately described. We check the agreed manufacturing points and flag evident concerns; that review does not silently become a full engineering certification of the original design.
- We remain responsible for using the accepted file correctly
- We are responsible for the preflight and production work included in the proposal
- If information conflicts, we stop and ask rather than guess
- Customer approval never excuses an error in work we perform
06
Approval and changes
Before production, the proposal identifies the model version, material, physical colour, quantity, finish, critical tolerances and known limitations. You confirm these details. If a requirement changes, we review it before continuing; price or timing changes are explained before acceptance.
