3D printing, you chose what you pay
There are always those projects which don’t quite have enough budget to justify the cost of 3D printing, but you still need to test your design before committing to costly tooling and production. For these projects we have budget options which allow you set a longer lead time and save up to 50% on your 3D printing costs. You can also chose from free delivery or even collection from our office in Bristol. If you have a tight 3D printing budget and don’t need your parts in a hurry you can save a lot of money on your 3D printing.
See for yourself, upload a part to our interactive online 3D print quoting system and select different lead times to see the price change in real time.
High quality 3D printed models
Just because it’s affordable does not mean you have to sacrifice on quality. We use state of the art 3D printers from Stratasys that print in super high quality in a range of materials including optically clear plastics, opaque materials and flexible rubber like materials. What is more you can combine multiple materials in a single part, allowing you to print features like seals, grips, gaskets, buttons and other features which require flexible materials. You can chose from matte and gloss finishes and also benefit from layer heights as low as 16 microns for smooth surfaces and fine detail.
Select from different material options to reduce the cost
We offer a range of 3D printing material and build options to help you reduce the cost while still getting the performance you need. If you don’t require a high quality surface finish you can print using our FDM option. This 3D print process prints in durable ABS material, so models will be tough and dimensionally stable. It also allows you to select a higher layer height and you can print models with a hollow interior. This means your models will print faster and use less material resulting in cost savings which we pass on to you.
Go ahead, try it out with a hollow FDM model and see how much it can save.
Cheap 3D printing on a longer lead time, how does it work?
It’s simple, by selecting a longer lead time you allow us to batch 3D print your parts on a 3D print build along with other jobs. This is much more efficient, it saves power and materials and cleanup time and those costs are split between yourself and others using our service. By selecting a longer lead time we can pass on those savings making it more cost effective for you.

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….
