No file? No problem
We design it, then we print it
Most people who need something printed do not have a 3D model — they have a problem, a broken part, or a sketch on the back of something. Send us that instead. We will model it, show you what we have drawn, and print it once you are happy. You end up owning the file as well as the part.
Colour, printed in
Up to 8 colours in a single part
Most printed work comes back in one colour with paint on top, and paint chips exactly where people touch it. We print colour into the part instead, so logos and lettering are part of the object rather than a finish applied to it. Nothing to peel, nothing to scratch off.
What we make
Seven ways people use us
Most enquiries land in one of these. If yours does not, describe it anyway — the interesting jobs rarely fit a category.
Prototyping & One-Offs
Send a file — or a sketch — and hold the part in your hand.
Read moreBatch & Production Runs
Repeatable batches from your files, quoted against your real deadline.
Read moreBridge Production
Real parts in weeks, with no mould to pay for first.
Read moreReplacement & Obsolete Parts
The part is discontinued. The machine does not have to be.
Read moreJigs, Fixtures & Tooling
Shop-floor tooling that fits your process, not a catalogue.
Read moreCustom Tool Storage
Made to fit your tools and your case — not the nearest standard size.
Read moreDisplays & Signage
Colour printed in, not painted on — up to 8 in a single piece.
Read moreHow it works
Three steps, no account required
01
Tell us what you need
A file, a sketch, a photo or a description. Add the quantity and deadline if you know them — we will ask if you do not.
02
We come back with a real quote
Including any questions, anything we would change to make the part work better, and a date we can actually hold.
03
We print it and send it out
On bigger runs we print and check a first article before committing the rest, so problems get caught on part one.
Capacity depends on part size — hundreds of small parts a week, fewer as parts get larger. Send us the part and your deadline and we will confirm what is achievable before you commit.
Materials
Four materials, chosen for the job
We print FDM only. That rules out fine jewellery masters and miniature detail work — and it is exactly the right process for functional, outdoor and production parts.
PLA
Display pieces, models and indoor parts where crisp detail and colour matter more than heat resistance.
PETG
The general-purpose workhorse — tougher than PLA, handles moisture and moderate heat, good for functional parts.
ASA
Outdoor and vehicle parts. UV-stable and weather-resistant, so it will not go brittle or fade in sunlight.
TPU
Flexible parts — gaskets, bumpers, grips, protective sleeves and anything that needs to bend or absorb impact.
Where we work
Based in Wigan, working across the North West
Everything is made here in Wigan. We ship worldwide. Most custom work goes to the UK, but we send finished parts to the USA, Canada, Australia and beyond — shipping is quoted with the job, so you see the full cost before you commit. These are the places we most often work with — but being on the list is not a requirement.
Common questions
What does it cost?
Everything is quoted per job, because the honest answer depends on size, material, how long the part takes to print and how many you need. Send us the part — or a description of it — and you get a real number rather than a "from" price that turns out not to apply to you.
Do I need a 3D file to get started?
No. If you have an STL, STEP, 3MF or OBJ we will work from it. If you have a sketch, a photo of a broken part, or just measurements and a description, we will design it for you and print from that.
What materials do you print in?
PLA, PETG, ASA and TPU. Between them they cover display pieces, general functional parts, outdoor and UV-exposed parts, and flexible parts. If you are not sure which you need, describe what the part has to survive and we will pick.
How large can you print?
Individual pieces print up to 256 × 256 × 256 mm. Larger items are printed in sections and assembled by us — we agree where it splits before printing so the joins land on faces you are not looking at.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum quantity — one part is a normal order. There is a practical minimum cost, because checking a file, setting up and packing take much the same time whether it is one part or ten.
Do you only work with customers in the North West?
No — that is just where most of the walk-up work comes from. We ship worldwide. Most custom work goes to the UK, but we send finished parts to the USA, Canada, Australia and beyond — shipping is quoted with the job, so you see the full cost before you commit. Nothing about the process changes if you are further away: you send the file or the photos, we quote, we print, we send it out.
What happens to my design files?
We use them for your job and nothing else. We do not share them, resell them, or add your design to our own catalogue. If you would like that in writing before you send anything over, just ask.
