3D Printing
We offer efficient, cost-effective 3D printing for production runs, and — where a project calls for it — fully bespoke work that combines printing with our resin casting, hand-finishing and painting processes for a genuinely custom result.
Whatever your sector or your brief, our in-house team can develop the design with you and produce it at our Folkestone, Kent factory.
What Is Our 3D Printing Service?
We run a growing in-house fleet of FDM printers for efficient, accurate production, and SLA (resin) printers for fine-detail masters and premium finishes — all housed alongside our 20+ other manufacturing processes at our Kent factory.
We provide a final product printed accurately and cost-effectively at the quantity your project needs — pricing scales with volume. Because printing itself needs minimal manual labour, we offer genuinely competitive trade pricing.
Many projects also take advantage of our other manufacturing processes: combining 3D printing with eco resin for weight, hand-finishing for detail and texture, or using a 3D-printed master in our pewter and stone-resin casting processes — to create something a standard print alone couldn't achieve.
We work across a wide range of sectors and project types, and we're always glad to hear from a business or organisation with something new to develop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer design support?
Absolutely, our in-house design team can work with you to turn a concept into a finalised design and right through to a packed end product. We can also utilise our other in-house manufacturing processes to provide unique these to
What printers and materials do you use?
We run a growing in-house fleet of over 80 FDM printers for production, and can print in up to 16 colours on a single piece.We print in PLA as standard, and we're open to other filaments for projects that require it. In addition to our FDM printers, we also have 3 SLA resin printers for fine-detail masters.
Is PLA environmentally friendly?
It's a sustainable plant-based filament made from renewable sources, offering a lower-impact alternative to standard oil-based plastics — like most bioplastics, it does need industrial composting conditions to fully break down.
What size can you print?
Our maximum print size is 256 × 256 × 256mm, although larger items can be printed in sections and assembled if required. We also have larger printers on order to increase this capacity.
Can you match a specific colour or finish?
Yes — we source the best colour match to your brief, and where a look needs more than printing alone, we can hand-finish and paint the piece to get there.
Is this service suitable if I just want one item printed for myself?
We're set up as a trade manufacturer for business and organisational projects, so our pricing is structured around project and production quantities. If you're ordering on behalf of a business, brand or organisation, we'd like to hear about it, whatever the size of the project.
What's your turnaround time?
This depends on the complexity of the design, any finishing involved, and quantity required — get in touch with your brief for a realistic timeline.
For projects requiring minimal product development, we can often produce finished products in days.
What's your minimum order quantity?
This varies by project — get in touch to discuss what you have in mind, and we'll advise on the best approach.
