Small runs and prototypes
3D printing & prototyping
Small-batch 3D printing alongside everything else — prototypes, display pieces, signage letters, jigs and replacement parts. It's a workshop service for short runs and one-offs, not a mass-production bureau.
What you can order
Prototypes
Test a part or a product idea before committing to tooling.
Display & retail pieces
Stands, risers, shelf talkers, window props.
3D signage letters
Standoff lettering and logos, printed then finished.
Branded merchandise
Keyrings, badges, bottle openers, desk pieces.
Replacement parts
A discontinued clip or bracket, remodelled and printed.
Jigs & fixtures
Workshop tooling for your own production.

Built by kids, for kids
Meet JD Prince.
A sister venture running on our printers: your child's drawing, brought to life as a colourful 3D-printed toy and posted back to you. The perfect keepsake, and a brilliant gift for grandparents.
- 01
Send the drawing
A photo or a scan of your child's masterpiece — a monster, a rocket, whatever they've dreamed up.
- 02
We model it
The drawing is turned into a 3D character, keeping its shapes and colours true to the original.
- 03
Printed & posted
It's printed in bright, tough PLA and shipped to your door — a keepsake that lasts far longer than the fridge.

Questions we get
Can you copy a broken part?
Often, yes. Send photos with a ruler in shot and the key measurements and we'll model it.
Is it strong enough to use outside?
In the right material. ASA and PETG handle UK weather; PLA doesn't and will sag in a car windscreen.
Do you do big production runs?
No — that's deliberate. This is short runs, prototypes and one-offs. For thousands of units you want injection moulding, and we'll say so.
