Size

We can produce almost any size of object from a tiny plastic part 0.3mm thick, to a model over 1.5m in length. The maximum dimension in a single print is 1800mm, so anything larger than this is built up in segments. We can go even larger than 2m by machining the model in eps or pu.

Delivery

Standard delivery timescales are typically 1-5 days, depending on the scope and urgency of the project. Timescales for larger or more complex projects may take longer. Please ask for an estimate.

Post processing services

In addition to printing models we can offer:

• To bond or join segments together
• To rub down for smooth surfaces
• Paint or lacquer finish
• Sand blasting
• Wax finish
• CNC machining

To quote for a project we will need the following information:

• Ideally an STL or STEP file
• Otherwise PLY, OBJ, IGS or other 3D CAD file
• Preferred material choice
• Ideal or required timescale
• Any post processing requirements
• Details about delivery or collection
