From a file to the thing itself.
Resin, filament and powder under one roof — prototypes, props, parts and display pieces printed, finished and in your hands.
Most 3D printing is sold as a machine. It is really a chain: the file has to be modelled and repaired, the right process has to be chosen, the part has to be oriented and supported so it survives the build, and then somebody has to cure, clean, sand and paint it. Break any link and you get a tray of expensive plastic.
We run that whole chain, and we run every process worth running. Resin for the detail work, filament for the big and the structural, powder for the parts that have to behave like production parts. Whatever the part needs, it gets printed on the machine built for it.
It sits beside the rest of the studio deliberately. The same place that models an asset for a film, a game or a configurator can print it — so a thing on screen and a thing on a table come from one source file rather than two interpretations of it.
What we build
Resin — SLA, DLP and LCD
Where the detail lives. Micron-scale layers for miniatures, jewellery masters, dental and lens-facing props — surfaces that need no sanding before paint. Tough, castable, flexible, clear and high-temperature resins depending on what the part has to survive.
Filament — FDM and large format
For scale and structure. PLA and PETG for form and fit, ABS and ASA for heat and the outdoors, and carbon- or glass-filled nylon and PC for parts that have to take load. Large-format beds for props and set pieces, sectioned and bonded when a piece outgrows the machine.
Powder and engineering processes
SLS nylon for functional parts with no supports and real isotropic strength — living hinges, clips, housings, short production runs. Routed to the right bureau partner with the process and material specified by us, inspected by us before it reaches you.
Finishing, paint and assembly
The half of the job nobody photographs. Washing and UV cure, support removal, sanding and filling, vapour smoothing, primer and airbrush, metallic and soft-touch coats, inserts, magnets and electronics fitted. Printed is not finished.
How we work
A file that will actually print
Scans and CAD arrive broken more often than not — non-manifold edges, flipped normals, wall thicknesses that cannot exist. We repair the mesh or remodel it properly, and tell you which we did.
The process chosen for the part
Detail, strength, heat, flex, transparency, budget and quantity point at different machines. We choose on the part, not on what happens to be free, and explain the trade we made.
One printed before many
For anything repeating, a single test piece first — fit checked, tolerance measured, finish approved — before a bed fills up with a mistake.
Choosing a process
What each process is for, and what it is best at. All three are in the building.
| Process | Layer height | Best for | What it gives you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resin — SLA / DLP / LCD | 25-100 microns | Fine detail, smooth surfaces, miniatures, masters, clear parts | Surfaces that go straight to paint |
| Filament — FDM | 100-300 microns | Size, structure, jigs, props, functional prototypes | Scale, speed and engineering materials |
| Powder — SLS nylon | 100-120 microns | Working parts, hinges, clips, small production runs | Production-grade strength with no supports |
We confirm the exact machine and material against your file when we quote, so the figure you get is the one your part prints at.
What you get
- Print-ready mesh, repaired or remodelled, returned to you
- Printed parts, cured, de-supported and cleaned
- Finishing to the agreed level — raw, sanded, primed or painted
- Assembly with inserts, magnets, fixings or electronics where needed
- Source and print files, so the part can be made again without us
Before you ask
- Can you print from a photo, a scan or a sketch?
- Yes to all three. Scans we repair and print. Photographs and sketches we model first — quoted separately, so you can see exactly what is design and what is printing.
- How large can a single piece be?
- Larger than any one machine. Past that we section, print and bond, placing seams where the design hides them — and you approve the split before anything prints. Set pieces and full-size props are routine.
- Is it cheaper than machining or moulding?
- For one, a handful, or anything still changing, comfortably. Moulding only wins once volume is high enough to spread the tool cost, and we will tell you exactly where that line sits for your part.
- Can you print in specialist materials?
- Yes — high-temperature, flame-retardant, food-contact, biocompatible, carbon-filled, castable and clear are all available. Where a part needs certification rather than just the right material, we will tell you what the route to that looks like before you commit.
