Industrial & Custom FDM 3D Printing Services

Fast, cost-effective Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) and rapid prototyping for businesses, engineers, and makers.

Whether you are an engineer looking to avoid the high tooling costs and long lead times of injection moulding, or a passionate hobbyist bringing a one-off custom design to life, we have the machines to make it happen.

Our Technical Capabilities & Build Volumes

Why Choose FDM?

​Wide range of industrial thermoplastics

Manufacture your parts using the same polymers used in traditional injection moulding. Whether you need the UV resistance of ASA, chemical-resistant PETG, or high-heat Polycarbonate, FDM provides a massive range of options compared to SLS and MJF, which are typically limited to standard nylons and TPU.

​

Affordable Prototyping

For non-structural models, display pieces, or rapid fit-testing, standard materials like PLA and PETG offer a very cost-effective rapid prototyping service for both small and large parts.

​​

Cost-Effective Large Parts

Unlike CNC routing that wastes material from a solid block, or powder-bed 3D printing systems that charge for the empty space around your part, FDM is highly efficient. Because it only consumes the exact amount of plastic required for your design, it is the smartest financial choice for manufacturing bulky enclosures, large frames, and custom jigs.

​

Multi-Material Capabilities

Combine varying mechanical properties within the same part. We can seamlessly fuse rigid and flexible thermoplastics together, allowing you to design components with integrated seals, grips, and flexible drone mounts without any manual assembly.

​

Colour Variety

FDM offers a wide range of off-the-shelf colours, especially for general materials like PLA, PETG, ASA and ABS.​ We can also print multi-colour parts which is perfect for signage, aesthetic prototypes, custom RC car parts, and toys. This can eliminate the need for painting process.

Is FDM right for your part?

We believe in complete transparency to ensure your project's success. While FDM is incredibly versatile, it is important to design your parts with the process in mind.

FDM is the perfect choice when:

  • Structural integrity and mechanical performance are your top priorities.

  • You are printing mid-to-large sized enclosures, custom brackets or cosplay armour.

  • You require highly specific material properties (e.g., UV resistance, Flame Retardancy, or Carbon Fibre stiffness).

 

You should consider Resin printing (MSLA) instead when:

  • Your part features microscopic details or text smaller than 1-2mm.

  • You require a perfectly smooth, injection-moulded surface finish without visible layer lines.

  • The part is exceptionally small (e.g., tabletop miniatures or micro-gears)

Thermoplastics for Every Project
