We’re number 1 for 3D printing in Bristol with a range of professional 3D printing services, flexible pricing, online ordering and quoting and last minute services. It’s so easy, it’s like having 3D printing facilities in-house.
Are you looking for local companies which provide 3D printing in Bristol? If you are looking for a local 3D printing company that offers a range of 3D printing technologies to speed up your product development then you are in the right place.
ProtoUK is a rapid prototyping company based in Bradley Stoke, North Bristol, offering 3D printing in Bristol and the surrounding areas. We are located close to the M4 and M5 and serve clients in Bristol and Bath and across the UK with fast, flexible 3D printing.
We know what it is like to be up against a deadline and then be thrown last minute design changes, that’s why we have designed our service to be really quick, simple and convenient. If you have a question you can call and speak to one of our engineers who will be happy to help.
Our handy online quoting service means you can upload your STL files and get a customisable quote for your 3D printed parts in seconds. As well as offering a range of technologies and material options you can also choose from free, standard and expedited delivery options, or even collect from our technology centre which is moments from the M4 and M5 motorways. You can also choose a lead time to suit you; you can pay a bit more to get it ahead of time, or if there is no rush you can save money with a longer lead time and our free delivery option or even collect your parts.
The 3D printing options we offer include polyjet, a cutting edge 3D printing process which delivers matte or glossy parts with exceptionally high detail and accuracy and the possibility of combining multiple materials in a single part. This is useful when designing opaque parts with clear windows and light guides or even print parts with simulated rubber over moulds. We can even mix materials to get the properties you want, so you can mix opaque and clear to get a range tinted materials or varying shore hardnesses of rubber.
We also offer FDM 3D printing on industrial Stratasys 3D printers which provide accurate models in very tough ABS thermoplastic. ABS parts are 3D printed on an FDM, these 3D prints are extremely tough and durable, they are resistant to abrasion, chemicals and high temperatures. The FDM 3D printing process is ideal for jigs and fixtures or other non-cosmetic parts which need to withstand rough treatment and harsh conditions.
If you are a company or an individual based in Bristol and you are looking for a local 3D printing partner that can offer you the latest 3D printing technologies and the flexibility to get the job done then get started by uploading some parts.

How to make an STL file for 3D printing
An STL file is a 3D is the basis for any 3D printing project. An STL file is comprised of lots of triangles which are all connected to form a single, closed volume. That volume represents the physical object to be 3D printed….
