The New Standard in 3D Printed Trophies
Exhibitions and award ceremonies are won on first impressions. At Malcolm Nicholls Ltd (MNL), we specialise in custom 3D printed trophies that go beyond the capabilities of traditional manufacturing. By utilising advanced additive manufacturing, we create intricate geometries, internal voids, and organic shapes that were previously impossible to produce.
Why Choose Malcolm Nicholls for Your Bespoke Awards?

-
Scale & Impact: As home to some of the largest 3D printers in the UK, we can produce multiple awards quickly and cost effectively.

Frequently Asked QuestionsÂ
How long does it take to make a custom 3D printed trophy?
Our turnaround times are among the fastest in the UK. For unfinished 3D prints, we can often deliver within days. For fully finished, painted, or plated bespoke awards, the timeline typically ranges from 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and the number of units required.
What finishes are available for bespoke trophies?
We offer a full suite of professional finishes including chrome plating (gold, silver, and bronze effects), metallisation, professional spray painting to exact RAL/Pantone colors, and tactile finishes like flocking. Our goal is to ensure your 3D printed award looks and feels like a traditional high-end trophy.
Can you produce multiple identical awards?
Yes. For projects requiring 10 to 100+ units, we utilise Vacuum Casting. This process involves creating a high-resolution 3D-printed master to produce a silicone mold, ensuring every subsequent trophy is a perfect, cost-effective replica with a premium finish.
Do I need to provide CAD data for my award design?
Ideally, yes. We accept most standard CAD file formats. However, if you have a concept but no digital file, our technical team can guide you on the best way to get your design ready for 3D printing and manufacturing. We have a partner that can help create your CAD so its fit to 3D print.Â
