Your idea, fully modelled.

From a simple replacement knob to a multi-part assembly — if you can describe it, photograph it, or hand us a sample, we can model it.

Popular 🔬
Reverse Engineering

Worn-out or discontinued part? We measure it by hand and model a replacement you can print and use. Dimensional accuracy is the priority — it has to fit.

Specialty 🔩
Fit-Critical & Mating Parts

Threaded features, snap fits, press fits, and mounting to OEM hardware. Tolerances dialled in for real-world fit and function — not just what looks right in CAD.

Advanced 🧩
Assemblies & Mechanisms

Multi-part assemblies, hinges, clips, or functional mechanisms. Split and optimised for 3D printing so it actually goes together cleanly.

Why in-house design matters: Our designer brings hands-on manufacturing experience to every model — tolerances, fit, and printability are considered at the modelling stage, not discovered as problems after the fact.

Simple from your end.

Send us something to work from. We handle the modelling, you approve before anything prints.

1
Submit your reference

Photos, sketches, a rough drawing, or a physical sample. Anything that shows us what you need.

2
Scope & quote

We review your reference, ask any questions, and send a fixed quote. 50% deposit before modelling begins.

3
Files delivered

STL and 3MF on delivery. Editable SolidWorks source available as an add-on. Test print available in-house.

4
Preview before finalization

First-pass model screenshot is sent for your review and sign-off before we finalize and deliver files.

5
2 minor revisions included

Small tweaks are included in every quote. Major scope changes are re-quoted first so there are no surprises.

6
Test print (optional add-on)

In-house print on the Kobra S1 4C for fit and finish verification before you receive the final files.

7
Design + Print in one quote

Want us to design and print it? We combine both into a single quote and handle it end-to-end.

Project-based pricing.
No surprises.

Quotes are fixed-fee with a clear scope statement. You approve before work starts. Pricing reflects project complexity, not an hourly clock you can't track.

Common questions.

If something isn't covered here, just reach out — we'll be straight with you.

What do you need from me to get started?
Photos from multiple angles work great for most jobs — the more the better. If you have a hand sketch with rough dimensions, even better. For fit-critical parts we prefer the physical sample, or precise caliper measurements. We'll tell you exactly what we need after the initial message.
Can you design something from just an idea, with no existing object?
Yes. As long as you can describe what it should do and any constraints (size, mounting points, fit requirements), we can model it from scratch. Expect a bit more back-and-forth on the preview stage to get it exactly right.
What file formats do you deliver?
Every project includes STL and 3MF — ready to load into any slicer. The editable SolidWorks SLDPRT file is available as an add-on. If you need STEP, IGES, or another format, just ask — we can accommodate most requests.
How does payment work?
We require a 50% deposit before modelling begins, with the balance due on delivery of the final files. For smaller Tier 1 jobs some clients prefer to pay in full upfront — that's fine. We issue a proper invoice and accept common payment methods via Stripe.
What if I need changes after receiving the files?
Two rounds of minor revisions are built into every quote — small dimension tweaks, adding a hole, adjusting wall thickness. Major scope changes (new geometry, completely different function) are quoted separately before we begin.
Can you design and print it for me?
Absolutely — that's actually the cleanest option. We quote the design and print work together, handle it end-to-end on our Kobra S1 4C, and deliver a finished printed part. Just select "Design + Print" on the order form or mention it when you request a quote.
Do you keep my design confidential?
We don't share or publish client work. If your project requires a formal NDA, we're happy to sign one — just mention it when you reach out and we'll have it ready before we discuss any details. No charge for the agreement.
