3D Printing

3D printing is the latest capability in our product development department. It allows the low-cost production of prototype parts with incredible detail.

The benefits of the process are clear in the early stages of a project. A physical and dimensionally accurate component can be 3D printed and handed to the client, either in forged or machined state. This allows them to implement into a sub-assembly for final suitability testing.

Forging is an industry with high outlay costs. Production of tooling and purchase of raw materials often reaches in excess of £20,000. 3D printing can help avoid costly mistakes caused by the production of incorrect dies and scrap material.
