Why use 3D printing for custom plastic parts?

Prototyping - Produce, test and improve more prototype iterations within a fraction of precious timescales.

Identify problems and reach the most optimised design for form, fit and function much faster.

Batch production of custom plastic parts using new advanced materials.

Maintaining utmost quality and tight tolerances for complex plastic parts.

Increase your product range with new and expanding selections of specialist andvanced materials.

Break into new markets and applications including aerospace, medical, and automotive.

Rely on personally tailored advice and guidance for your project from a quality team with over 20 years of experience.
