Our Process

Our process

1. Printability


Have 3D model files?
We accept STL, OBJ or STEP files. Our system will inspect and analyse the models for printability and defects. Start Upload & Quote

Not ready to upload a model?
Contact us and we can manually review your model, this will slow down time to production.

Broken model?
Some CAD software is notoriously poor at exporting print ready 3D models. If you are getting errors when uploading to our quoting engine or you

don’t have a 3D model file?
We also offer digital design services. Learn about our
CAD service.
