Our 3D Printing Services

Our workshop houses two of the largest 3d printers found in the UK. Each one has a build platform of 800 x 800 x 600mm capable of producing both large and smaller items in different quantities, closing the gap between prototype and mass production.

SLA

Stereolithography (SLA) also often referred to as SLA is the most widely used resin 3D printing technology. it is generally considered to provide the greatest accuracy and best surface finish of any prototyping or 3D printing process.

SLS

SLS can build functional parts, casting patterns and tooling inserts from your 3D CAD data. Our HiQ Sinterstation system (SLS 3D Printing machine) represents the future of Instant Manufacturing Technology.

FDM

Manufacturing FDM known as fused deposition modelling is the most widely available form of 3d printing. It is an additive manufacturing technology that selectively deposits molten plastic to build parts layer by layer.

Large Format

As a leading UK 3D printing service, we provide large format SLA 3D printers with their impressive build platforms of 800 x 800 x 600mm.

Transparent

We can produce large transparent 3D printing without the need for sectioning and fabricating back together, by utilising our large format SLA 3D printers.

Carbon

Carbon has proven itself for its reliability in the toughest of environments, whether your looking to use it in low volume production or rapid prototyping Carbon 3D Printing is a great option.
