3D printing · Prototype to production
Print one.
Then print a thousand.
Resin for the parts that need fine detail, FDM for prototypes and functional pieces, and a print farm for when one machine is no longer the answer. Same shop, same eyes on the part, whatever the quantity.

- FDM
- Print farm
Send a model or a sketch. We come back with a price and an approach.
Our machines, our floor, our problem if it fails
Why send it to us
A printer is easy.
A good part is not.
- 01
We fix the model first
Most files that arrive are not print ready. Thin walls, bad orientation, no tolerance. We sort that before it wastes a plate.
- 02
Right process for the part
Detail goes to resin, strength and speed go to FDM. Sending everything to one machine is how shops deliver mediocre parts.
- 03
Finished, not just printed
Supports removed, seams cleaned, resin properly washed and cured. A part straight off the plate is only half done.
- 04
Repeatable at volume
Once a part is dialled in, the farm runs it again and again to the same spec instead of drifting batch to batch.
Three ways to make it
One shop.
Three processes.
Tell us what the part has to survive and how many you need. That answers which machine it belongs on faster than any spec sheet.
ResinNot sure which you need? Describe the part and what it has to do. Picking the process is our job, not yours.
How it works
File in. Parts out.
- 1
Send the model
An STL, a STEP, or a sketch on a napkin. Tell us what the part does and how many you need.
- 2
We quote and prep
We price the job, flag anything that will not print well, and confirm the process before a machine starts.
- 3
Print, finish, repeat
You get a first part to approve. Once it is right, the farm runs the rest to that exact standard.
Off the plate
Parts, prototypes, production.
What a print job includes
3D printing
- ✓Model review before anything prints
- ✓Process picked for the part, not the machine
- ✓Resin, FDM, or full colour
- ✓Supports removed and seams cleaned
- ✓Resin washed and properly cured
- ✓A first part to approve on volume runs
- ✓Repeat runs held to the approved spec
- ✓Design help if you have no model yet
Priced from your brief. We are not the cheapest shop and we do not try to be.
Before you ask
Good
questions.
Yes. Plenty of jobs start as a sketch, a photo, or a description. We model it, you approve it, then it prints.
Resin if the part is small and detail matters, like miniatures, masters, and display pieces. FDM if it needs to be tough and take some abuse, like brackets, jigs, and functional prototypes. Describe the part and we will pick.
That is what the farm is for. We dial the part in once, get your approval on a first article, then run the quantity to that same spec.
STL and STEP are ideal. OBJ and 3MF are fine too. If your file is not print ready we will tell you what needs fixing rather than printing a part we know will fail.
From the brief. Material, size, print time, finishing, and quantity all move the number. Volume brings the per part price down, which is the whole point of the farm.
