Whats great about resin 3D Printing service?

FAST DELIVERY

For orders under £500 we offer a a 1 working day lead time. We’re located in London so if you need speedy delivery, you’re welcome to collect.

SMOOTH SURFACE FINISH

SLA resin is best known for a super smooth surface finish. It looks remarkably like mass produced end use items and exhibition pieces.

PERFECT FOR SILICONE MOULDING

.Resin printing is the material of choice for all silicone moulding applications as its super smooth and detailed

FINEST DETAILING

SLA resin achieve the finest detailing of all types of 3D printers. Our machines build with excellent accuracy and layer thickness as small as 0.07mm thick.

3D PRINTED COLORS WE STOCK

SLA Resin Colors

FDM Colors

What's great about our FDM 3D printing service?

Our FDM 3D printing service is a great choice for lower detailed models when you’re on a budget. FDM stands for fused deposition modelling. Our max print size is 350mm L x 350mm W x 350mm H. We offer PLA plastic, which is strong, cheap and biodegradable.

01 CHEAP

We charge just £4/hour to print using our FDM 3D printers. So if your design takes 4 hour to print, then it costs just £16

02 STRONG

We use PLA plastic with our FDM printers. PLA plastic is strong and stiff and light weight. Parts with a wall thickness of over 2mm are almost impossible to break with your hands max force

03 DENSITY CONTROL

Our software allows us to control the degree infill, (0% is totally hollow, 100% is totally solid). We usually print at 20-30% infill as its nearly at full strength at 35% infill, so any extra infill only adds weight and cost to the print

04 GLOSSY FINISH

PLA plastic has a beautifully glossy surface. The smaller the layer thickness the smoother and glossier the surface becomes

Frequently Asked Questions

Below covers various popular questions we receive, its generally information regarding pricing, lead times material specifics and so on. This only covers some information on our 3d printing service so if you have any questions remaining don’t hesitate to contact us.

HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

It depends on 4 main factors in order of importance; size, material, layer height and lead time. We offer FDM and resin printing, generally speaking resin is about 3-4 times the cost of FDM.

WHAT ARE THE LEADS TIMES?

We have 2 lead time options. The fastest is 1 day and the cutoff time is Noon (12pm). the 1 day working day service costs 35% more than our standard 3-day lead time. Delivery adds 1 day. We will print standard lead time order faster than 3 days if possible but with no guarantee. For orders of £300+ the 1-day service might not be available. If it’s not, we’ll inform you immediately.

WHAT ARE THE WORKING DAYS AND HOURS?

Working days and hours are Monday to Friday 8:30am-4pm but order collections available until 5pm from our building reception desk.

CAN YOU RESCALE MY FILE FOR ME?

We can yes, if you send your STL file via email specifying how tall you would like it to be we’ll rescale and send back to you same day. Alternatively, you can save the money by download meshmixer and rescaling it yourself.

CAN YOU 3D PRINT ME A COPY OF A PHYSICAL ITEM I HAVE?

First you would need to have the 3D model created on a computer using the real object. Our 3D printing service does not provide 3D scanning or a 3D CAD modelling.

CAN YOU 3D SCAN A OBJECT FOR ME?

We don’t provide 3d scanning sorry to say

HOW STRONG IS THE PLASTIC?

It largely depends on the wall thickness. Parts with wall thickness greater than 20mm thick can easily withstand a person’s weight. If you know the forces your part will experience and in what direction, let us know and we will suggest the best print orientation and settings to maximize strength.

WHAT FILE FORMAT DO YOU ACCEPT?

Our ordering system accepts STL, OBJ, STEP, IGES & 3MF. STL files are the primary 3d printing file format so thats always the best format to default to.

IS THERE A MINIMUM ORDER FEE?

our 3d printing service has a £25 + VAT minimum order.

WHATS THE SHIPPING TIME AND COST?

Its DPD next working day delivery (mon-fri). for £7.50

CAN YOU REVIEW MY FILES FOR POTENTIAL PRINTING ISSUES?

Our ordering system does catch basically all potential printing issues but for a final human confirmation please instead of paying for your order right away, click ‘submit for review’ at the end of the checkout process. We will review the files within the hour (mon-fri 9-5pm). Once confirmed we’ll send you back a payment link.

I CANT UPLOAD MY FILES TO ORDERING SYSTEM, ITS SAYS THE FILE CANNOT BE ANALYSED?

This is nearly always because the mesh is non-manifold, meaning it has too many overlapping surfaces. This confuses the software as its not able to distinguish which surfaces are closed and open. If you email us the files we’ll manually review it and in some cases we can even repair it.

THE ORDERING SYSTEM SAYS MINIMUM WALL THICKNESS WARNING, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

This means that your model has walls thinner than the minimum we can guarantee. We guarantee parts above 0.9mm in thickness. We will print things thinner, but it is at your own risk. Thin areas of your model that fall below our minimum thickness may not print. The best case is the thin areas do print, in many cases the entire model prints fine except for the thin areas & in the worst cases the thin areas fail to print, then causing the entire model to fail.

WHAT PRINTING TECHNOLOGY DO I NEED FOR MY MODEL?

Our SLA resin is a great choice for highly detailed models, whereas FDM is more appropriate for applications where cost is primary concern. Get in touch anytime to discuss your requirements.

WHAT ARE SUPPORT STRUCTURES?

Support structures are essential when 3d printing models with overhangs. They create platforms for the print to support itself. After printing All accessible supports are manually removed. If your design is free of overhangs, it won’t require supports at all.

WHATS THE MAX SIZE YOU CAN PRINT?

For resin 3d printed parts its 156mm x 278mm x 295mm and for FDM printed parts its 350mm x 350mm x 350mm.

CAN I GET A ROUGH COST WITHOUT A STL FILE?

No problem, if you email us the size of the print and which service you’d like, well reply with a estimate same day.
