3D printing sounds simple — melt plastic, build a shape — but the difference between a rough print and a proper product is in the details. Here's how we turn a file into something worth shipping.
Every product starts as a 3D model. For our own range, we design each piece in CAD from scratch, testing and iterating until the geometry prints cleanly and holds up in use. For custom orders, we'll work from your file, your sketch, or your description — whatever you've got.
We run industrial-grade FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) printers, which build parts layer by layer from molten thermoplastic. Depending on the job, we'll print in PLA for detail, PETG for strength and weather resistance, or TPU when the piece needs to flex. Settings are tuned per print — layer height, temperature, speed, and infill are dialled in for the specific part.
Every piece comes off the bed and goes straight to the bench. Supports are removed, edges are cleaned up, and the print is inspected under good light. Anything with visible defects — under-extrusion, layer shifts, warping — gets reworked or recycled. Only pieces that pass inspection get packed and shipped.
We stock three core materials, chosen because each one does a job the others can't. When you enquire about a custom piece, we'll recommend the right one for your use case.
Plant-based, easy to print, and available in the widest colour range. Great for decorative pieces, desk items, and anything that lives indoors. Not ideal for high heat or heavy load — leave it in a hot car and it will soften.
Tougher than PLA and more heat-resistant. Handles outdoor use, light impact, and moisture without complaint. Our go-to for functional parts, brackets, and anything that needs to survive real-world use.
A flexible, rubber-like filament. Used for grips, gaskets, protective sleeves, and anything that needs to bend without snapping. Slower to print but worth it when the application calls for give.
