Engineering for the job at hand.
In Liverpool, work connected with port logistics and life sciences can involve a prototype, a broken part or a production aid. A useful first brief describes what the component does, the environment in which it works, its mating parts and the quantity needed. Work across the Mersey waterfront may call for a drawing-led design, a measured reconstruction or a small production run.
We are an Additive Manufacturing Company based in Southampton and welcomes enquiries from Liverpool. We do not claim a workshop in this city. Share your requirements through the main company website so the appropriate design and manufacturing route can be discussed.
3D printing
For Liverpool, one potential application is durable dockside equipment guards.
Assess the required fit, load, temperature and quantity before choosing FDM, SLA, SLS or MJF.
Reverse engineering
For Liverpool, one potential application is obsolete components from marine handling systems.
Bring the original part or a dimensioned drawing so that interfaces can be measured and checked.
From evidence to part
Start with the information you have.
Share a drawing, CAD model, measurements or an original component. State the function, environment, quantity and critical tolerances.
Start your project by visiting our homepage and sharing the information available for your component. You can provide dimensions, a technical drawing or a CAD model, or arrange to supply the original part. Include a description of what you need and the purpose the finished component will serve.
Explain how the part will be used, including its operating environment and how it connects with other components. Details such as exposure to heat, moisture, chemicals, sunlight or mechanical loads help establish suitable material and manufacturing requirements. Please highlight any existing faults or improvements you would like us to consider.
Tell us the quantity required and your preferred delivery deadline. Whether you need a single replacement, a working prototype or a repeat production batch, this information helps us assess the project and prepare a relevant quotation. Mention any planned future orders, assembly requirements, surface finishes or colour preferences as well.
Identify all critical measurements, tolerances, mounting points, threads and mating features. These details are particularly important where the component must fit an existing assembly or perform a specific mechanical function. Any critical measurement that has not been supplied should be verified through reliable information or appropriate measurement, rather than assumed.
If your information is incomplete, provide what you have and clearly identify anything unknown. Photographs and sketches can support an initial discussion, while further measurements may be needed before manufacturing. Reviewing these requirements together helps clarify expectations, reduce avoidable revisions and establish a practical route from your enquiry to production.

Start with the engineering evidence
For durable dockside equipment guards, an initial print can establish form and assembly fit before material and process decisions are finalised. A prototype is useful when it answers a specific question: whether a cable clears an enclosure, a fixture locates a part, or a cover can be installed without interfering with its neighbours.
When considering obsolete components from marine handling systems, identify the important faces, fasteners, clearances and operating loads. A photograph alone does not provide reliable scale or hidden geometry. An original component, measurements or a technical drawing makes the reconstruction more defensible.
CAD that leads to a workable part
Jigs for repeatable laboratory assembly needs more than a shape on a screen. The model should explain how it attaches, how it will be made and which dimensions need checking. For enquiries associated with the Mersey waterfront, state whether the aim is a one-off demonstration, a maintenance replacement or repeatable production tooling.
Send the part, dimensions, drawing or CAD model through the Our homepage, alongside the intended use, quantity and deadline. Any critical measurement that has not been supplied should be verified instead of assumed.
Explore the services on our main website
We are a 3D printing and manufacturing services, reverse engineering for existing or obsolete parts, CAD design and engineering materials on its main website. These are the capabilities behind enquiries from Liverpool. The Southampton-based company does not claim an office or completed project here.
For a useful assessment, send an original part, drawing or CAD model if available. State quantity, fit, operating load, temperature, UV, moisture and wear where relevant. Start a quote on the main website.
Questions about Liverpool projects
Can a Liverpool organisation request one prototype?
Yes. Send a drawing, CAD file or measured part through https://www.mitchellsson.co.uk. State the intended use and critical dimensions.
Can you reverse engineer an old component for the Mersey waterfront?
An original part or a reliable drawing can establish the starting geometry. Critical dimensions need verification before manufacture.
Which 3D printing method is suitable for port logistics and life sciences?
FDM, SLA, SLS and MJF have different strengths. The load, temperature, finish, tolerance and quantity determine the process.
Do you have premises in Liverpool?
This page describes enquiries from the area. We are based in Southampton; it does not claim a local office here.
