A few words from customers
“Amazing level of service. Really quick response.” — Verified reviewer
“I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the great work you did on the 20 face masks for a friend of ours who is a nurse at a major hospital. They desperately needed some PPE face masks… When we received the face masks … they are nice and sturdy. I am so pleased that we were able to meet our friends’ needs. Thank you so much.” — Nigel

FAQs
Can you get an instant quote for 3D printing online?
Yes — upload your STL (or send what you have), choose a material and basic preferences, and we’ll quote quickly. If a model needs fixing or you’re unsure on material, we’ll confirm options before you commit.
Which 3D printing materials are best for strong parts?
It depends on heat, load and environment. ABS and PETG are common for practical parts. ASA is better for UV/outdoor exposure. Nylon (MJF partner) is excellent for tough functional components when design and tolerances suit it.
Do you offer next-day 3D printing in the UK?
For qualifying FDM jobs (size and quantity limits apply), yes — approve and pay by 12:00 and we dispatch next business day.
Do you help if I don’t have an STL file?
Yes. CAD is great, but a clear photo and a few measurements is often enough to get started. We can scan or CAD a replacement where needed.
