How it works

From broken part to new part

Step 01

Send what you have

A file, a photo, some measurements or just a description. Tell us how many you need.

Step 02

A straight answer and a quote

Whether it can be printed, whether it will be strong enough, and a written price before anything is made.

Step 03

Drawn up and printed

With no file, we model it from your part or photo. Then it is printed and checked.

Step 04

Collected or posted

Fit it and try it. The file is kept, so a tweak or a repeat order is quick.

Questions

Asked before ordering

What should I budget for a 3D printed replacement part in Cambridge?
Most single replacement parts cost between 15 and 80 pounds, depending on size, the material required, and whether we need to create the design from scratch. Simpler items such as small brackets or fixings sit at the lower end, while larger or more complex components with tight tolerances cost more. We always confirm pricing before we start any work.
What am I likely to pay for a rapid prototype in Cambridge?
A single prototype component's cost depends on its size, the level of detail required, and the complexity of the geometry. Simpler parts cost less than highly complex ones. We quote per project after reviewing your files.
Is 3D printing an expensive way to replace a car part?
For one-off or small quantities it is usually the most cost-effective option available, particularly when the original part is discontinued or only available on long back-order at inflated prices. Most individual printed car parts cost between 20 and 120 pounds, which compares favourably with sourcing genuine old-stock parts through specialist dealers. The price depends on the size of the part and the material required.
How is 3D printed tooling priced compared with machined equivalents?
3D printed jigs and fixtures typically cost between 25 and 200 pounds per item, depending on size, complexity, and material. Machined aluminium or steel equivalents for even simple designs usually start at several hundred pounds. For low-volume or frequently revised tooling, printed versions offer a significant cost saving without sacrificing accuracy for most light-to-medium duty applications.
What should I budget for a custom 3D printed bracket in Cambridge?
Most single brackets vary in cost depending on size and complexity. If you need us to draw the design from scratch rather than printing from your own file, we charge for design time on top, which we quote upfront before starting.
Is 3D printing expensive for small production runs?
For small quantities - typically under a few hundred units - 3D printing is usually far cheaper than injection moulding because there are no tooling costs. Unit prices are higher than mass production, but you're not paying for a mould that costs thousands before a single part is made. It makes most sense when you need flexibility, speed, or low volumes.
What am I likely to pay to get a single file printed in Cambridge?
Price is driven mostly by material volume and print time, not design complexity. Send us your file and we'll give you an exact quote, usually within a few hours.
Can you make a replacement part if I only have the broken original and no drawings?
Yes. We can measure and reverse-engineer a broken part to create a new design file. Bring the original in or post it to us and we will assess whether it can be accurately reproduced. This works well for plastic components but may have limitations with very intricate metal originals.

Not sure which one you need?

Tell us what the part is and what it has to do, and we will tell you straight how we would make it, or whether printing is the wrong answer.
