CAD Assistance

No file? Send photos, dimensions, or a broken part. We can help produce a printable model for straightforward parts.

Replacement Parts

Broken or worn plastic part? If it can be measured or photographed, there is a good chance it can be reproduced.

No longer made. Can’t source it. Still fixable.

A broken clip, a snapped bracket, a worn housing, or a part the manufacturer stopped making years ago. Retailers sell out, part numbers return nothing, eBay draws a blank. If you can photograph it or measure it, there’s a good chance we can reproduce it in FDM plastic — and for straightforward parts, printed and in the post the same or next day. No tooling, no minimum order, no weeks of waiting.

Important note Reproduced parts are suitable for light-duty and functional replacement use. For load-bearing, safety-critical, or regulated applications, please check suitability before ordering.
  • Clips, covers, housings, brackets, knobs, handles, trims
  • Appliance, electronics and vehicle interior parts no longer in production
  • Send a file, photos, or just the measurements — we work from any of them
  • Mark the request urgent and we assess it as a priority
  • A clear lead time, not a vague estimate — Royal Mail 24 or courier dispatch
  • We review each request individually — we will tell you honestly what’s achievable

Ready to print, or starting from scratch

We work with customers at both ends of the spectrum — file in hand, or nothing but an idea and a broken part.

Modelled from scratch: BMW module housing, PETG There was no file for this one. It was measured from the original part, then redrawn taller with an aperture for a cooling fan because the module was running hot.

Need CAD assistance?

No 3D file? Send us photos of the part, rough dimensions, or a sketch. For straightforward geometries, we can produce a printable model. We will confirm at quoting stage whether the part is something we can assist with.

  • Broken parts, photos, and rough dimensions accepted
  • CAD work is assessed per project — we are honest about complexity
  • CAD fee included in your quote where applicable

FDM materials for practical applications

All printing is FDM (fused deposition modelling). Material selection depends on your use case — we will advise at quoting stage if needed.

PLA

Polylactic Acid

Excellent detail and surface finish. Best for indoor, low-stress, and decorative applications. Most accessible material.

PETG

Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol

Better moisture and impact resistance than PLA. Good all-rounder for functional parts requiring moderate toughness.

TPU

Thermoplastic Polyurethane

Flexible and rubber-like. Ideal for gaskets, grips, bumpers, seals, and parts that need to flex or absorb impact.

ABS / ASA

Engineering Thermoplastics

Higher heat resistance than PLA and PETG. ASA adds UV stability for outdoor use. For functional and exterior applications.

Full materials guide

From enquiry to your door in four steps

A straightforward process — no unnecessary back-and-forth, no vague timelines.

Send your file or describe the part

Upload an STL/STEP/OBJ/3MF file, or describe the part using photos, dimensions, or a sketch. Fill in our short quote form.

We review printability & material options

We check the file, dimensions, and intended use. We will flag any issues and confirm the best material. No hidden surprises.

You receive a clear quote & lead time

A straightforward quote by email — price, material, estimated dispatch date. You decide whether to proceed.

Your part is printed & dispatched

Printed, checked, and sent via Royal Mail or courier to anywhere in the UK. International delivery available on request.

Full process guide

One printer. One person. Every order handled directly.

Honest about what’s achievable

FDM printing has real-world limitations. We tell you what a material can and can’t do, and whether a part is suitable for its intended use — before you commit, not after. If a job is outside what we can do well, we say so.

You deal with the person printing your part

No queue of support staff, no automated ticket system, no overseas fulfilment. Questions are answered by the same person who reviews the file, chooses the material, runs the print and packs it.

Common questions

Yes. STL is our most common file format. We also accept STEP (.step, .stp), OBJ, 3MF, and IGES. Upload your file in the quote form and we will review it for printability, flag any issues, and confirm the best material.

For straightforward parts, yes. Send clear photos, rough dimensions, or a sketch alongside your quote request. We will confirm whether we can assist and include any CAD work in the quote. More complex geometry may not be possible without an existing file.

Our maximum print volume is approximately 256 × 256 × 256 mm. Parts larger than this cannot be printed as a single piece — we will flag this if your file exceeds the build volume and discuss alternatives such as printing in sections.

Yes. We deliver to all UK addresses as standard. International delivery is available on request — mention it when requesting your quote and we will confirm postage options and costs.
