Custom 3D design

What we model in 3D

We do 3D modelling for printing: every file is made to become a real part, not just a render. The most frequent requests:

• Discontinued spare parts: handles, hooks, gears, clips and covers for appliances, cars, motorbikes and furniture
• Custom mounts, brackets and adapters for home, workshop and lab
• Functional prototypes to check shape and fit before production
• Personalised objects: keychains, plaques, favours and gifts with names or logos
• Props, cosplay and model making, including large pieces split into several parts

Remaking a part from the broken one (reverse engineering)

If the spare part can't be found any more, the broken part is the best reference. We rebuild it from the photos and dimensions you send (or directly, if you ship it to us), redraw it whole and reinforce it where it broke: thicker walls, fillets in the corners, a stronger material if needed.

What we need to design your part

The more information you give us, the more likely the part is right first time. You don't need to know how to draw or have a technical drawing: we take care of it.

• Two or three photos from different angles, with a ruler or tape measure next to it
• The main dimensions taken with a caliper (even approximate, we check them)
• Where the part works: in the sun, in heat, in contact with water, oil or petrol, whether it carries a load
• If you have it, the broken or original part: it's the best reference

Why have it designed by whoever prints it

A drawing made for milling or moulding often doesn't work for 3D printing: walls too thin, impossible overhangs, wrong tolerances. Here the person who designs is the same one who runs the print, so the file is born ready to print well: orientation, thicknesses and fits are chosen for FDM printing.

Design is paid once: if you reprint the same part, you only pay for the print. And if you like, you keep the final file (STL or STEP): it's yours to reuse whenever you want.
