From idea to production-ready 3D model.
If you do not have a finished file yet, our design team builds one. Bring a sketch, a photograph, a sample part, or a description. You leave with print-ready geometry and the option to manufacture on the same timeline.
What you can bring us.
No CAD experience required. We build the file from whatever reference you have. The clearer the brief, the faster the first concept.
A sketch
Hand-drawn or digital. Rough dimensions on the page help, but a clean idea on a napkin is enough to start.
A photograph
A picture of an existing object, a competitor product, or something you saw in the wild. We reverse-engineer the geometry.
A physical reference
Post us the original object. We measure, document, and rebuild it as clean CAD before any iteration.
A written brief
A description of what the part needs to do, where it fits, and what it has to mate with. We turn the brief into geometry.
A competitor product
You want something similar but distinct, or a part that interfaces with an existing product. We design within the constraints.
An existing CAD file
STL, STEP, 3MF, or a native file from Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or Blender. We adapt, repair, or extend what you already have.
How we take a concept to a finished file.
Four clear stages with review points built in. You stay in control of geometry, dimensions, and finish at every step.
The deliverables.
At sign-off, you receive a clean, watertight, print-ready file in the format you need. File ownership transfers to you unless agreed otherwise. The design is yours to keep, share, and reprint.
Standard print-ready mesh. Watertight, oriented, and scaled. Ready to drop into any slicer.
Parametric solid model. Use for further CAD work, downstream tooling, or handing the design to another supplier.
Preserves scale, orientation, colour, and print metadata in a single file. Recommended for multi-part assemblies.
PDF reference set delivered alongside the file: hero render, orthographic views, and a dimensioned drawing of key features.
What we design.
We focus on geometry that is intended to be 3D printed. Not general engineering drawing, not architectural CAD. Parts you can hold.
Enclosures and housings
Custom project boxes, electronics enclosures, cable management, and equipment covers. Mating features, bosses, and snap fits included.
Single mechanical parts
Brackets, mounts, adapters, jigs, and fixtures. Functional geometry built around dimensions, tolerances, and the part it has to mate with.
Branded promotional items
Custom merchandise pieces, conference giveaways, and event branding. Designed with print constraints in mind so volume runs are repeatable.
Display and presentation pieces
Trophy bases, awards, presentation stands, architectural models, and decorative objects with crisp surfacing.
Personalised consumer products
Named, dated, or individually customised items designed to run as a batch with per-unit variation built in.
Figurines and characters
Original character designs, brand mascots, gaming miniatures, and commemorative pieces. Print-tested for support and detail recovery.
Replacement and adaptation work
Reverse-engineered parts for products no longer in production, or adapters that bridge legacy and modern components.
Templates for repeat production
Parametric base templates for bulk runs and dropshipping catalogues, set up so per-order customisation is fast and automatable.
How long the design phase takes.
Indicative timings from consultation to print-ready file. Complex assemblies, mating parts, and parts with tight tolerances take longer, agreed at quote stage.
2–5 days
From sign-off on the brief to the first concept render. Larger projects with multiple parts are staged.
1–3 days each
Each round runs from your feedback to a fresh render. Most projects settle in two rounds.
Same day
Once you sign off the final concept, the print-ready file and dimension sheet land in your inbox the same working day.
What does design work cost?
Design work is quoted per project. Most small projects (a single enclosure, a branded promo item, a small mechanical part, or a personalised consumer product) fall in the £150 to £450 range. More complex or multi-part assemblies are quoted after a free 20-minute consultation where we can assess scope accurately.
Pricing includes the initial concept, two revision rounds, the final file in your chosen format, and the dimension sheet. The consultation is free and carries no obligation. You will receive a written quote before any work begins.
Roll design straight into a production run, with one timeline and one invoice.
The most efficient path is to design and manufacture with the same supplier. We sign off the file, run a reference sample, and that sample becomes the quality benchmark for every unit on the production line. No handoffs, no slicing surprises, no second supplier to brief. Tell us your end volume at consultation stage and we will plan the design with manufacturing in mind.
