IT

What we do, and how we decide how to do it.

Four services that hold together: we can take you from idea to part, or step in only where you need us.

Consulting

Work out whether 3D printing is the right route, before spending anything.

We talk about what the part has to do and tell you honestly whether additive makes sense. Sometimes the answer is no. For some geometries and some quantities, machining or a mould still wins. We would rather say so first.

Typically used for

  • First 3D printing projects
  • Choosing a material
  • Feasibility checks

3D modelling

From a drawing, a photo or an idea to a model ready to print.

If you do not have a CAD file, we build one. It can start from a dimensioned sketch, from photographs, or from nothing more than a description, and ends with a 3D model you can review before anything goes on a machine.

Typically used for

  • No CAD file yet
  • Changes to an existing model
  • Adapting a model for printing

Prototyping

Something to hold, so you can tell what works and what does not.

The things you cannot see on screen show up immediately in the physical part: a fit that is too tight, a grip that feels wrong, a rib that flexes. We print iterations so you can try, correct and try again.

Typically used for

  • Form and clearance checks
  • Assembly trials
  • Presentation models

Small-batch industrial printing

Short runs, where tooling would never pay for itself.

At low quantities, printing avoids the cost of tooling entirely. Useful for discontinued spares, one-off components, and every run too short for a mould to make sense.

Typically used for

  • Short runs
  • Spares and one-offs
  • Bespoke components

How we print

Everything is printed in our own workshop in Casarano, in FDM.

FDM

Fused deposition modelling

Melted thermoplastic laid down layer by layer. It is the process we use: tough, economical at the quantities we work in, and with a material range that covers just about anything a functional part needs.

Materials

  • PLA
  • PETG
  • ABS
  • ASA
  • Nylon
  • Flexible TPU
  • Fibre-filled filaments

How a job runs

  1. Tell us about the part

    A CAD file if you have one, otherwise a photo, a sketch or a description. Most of all, tell us what it has to do and where it will live.

  2. We talk it through

    We tell you whether it can be printed, in what material, and whether we think 3D printing is genuinely the right call for that part.

  3. Quote

    We send you a quote. If the model needs fixing, or building from scratch, that is in the quote and we say so up front.

  4. Print and deliver

    Once you approve, we schedule the work. Supports removed and the part checked before it leaves.
