Additive Manufacturing
High-resolution SLA resin 3D printing, production-grade SLS nylon powder printing and FDM filament printing — for prototypes, tooling, jigs, fixtures and low-volume production parts. Smooth surfaces, fine detail and a wide range of engineering, flexible and specialty materials — all inspected in-house before dispatch.
What SLA resin printing gives you
Fine detail
SLA layer heights down to 25 µm produce crisp edges, smooth surfaces and precise tolerances.
Smooth finish
Resin parts come off the printer with a surface finish that rivals injection moulding — minimal post-processing.
Production SLS
SLS nylon powders build strong, support-free thermoplastic parts ready for end-use and low-volume production.
Specialty materials
Castable, biocompatible, flame-retardant and optically clear resins for demanding applications.

FDM Filament 3D Printing
We offer FDM (fused deposition modelling) 3D printing for durable, functional parts in a wide range of engineering thermoplastics. From easy-to-print PLA for quick prototypes to tough nylon, high-temperature polycarbonate and flexible TPU for end-use components — an enclosed, temperature-controlled build chamber keeps warping out of demanding materials so we can run everything from single prototypes to low-volume production in-house.
Enclosed heated chamber

Tuned material profiles
Tuned settings for every filament mean reliable, repeatable results from the first print.
Built for production
A rugged workhorse for everything from quick prototypes to durable end-use parts.
