Start with a sketch, photo or idea

CAD design and 3D model preparation

No finished 3D file? We can help build a printable model from your sketch, measurements or photos.

Discuss your project

You don’t need to know how to use design software to get started. Show us what you have in mind and what the part needs to do. We can help create a new 3D model or change one you already have.

Design work and printing are quoted separately when needed. We’ll agree on the work, the files you’ll receive and any changes included. A printed sample can help check things that are hard to judge on a screen.

How it works

Let’s plan the next step.

  1. Tell us about the part

    Send your sketches, photos and measurements. Show us where it needs to fit, how it will be used and anything that must stay the same.

  2. Agree on the design work

    We’ll explain what we can make, which files you’ll get and what the quote includes. If you want more changes later, we’ll discuss the cost first.

  3. Check it together

    Review the shape and important measurements. We can discuss a sample if the part needs to fit something else. Keep the approved file for future orders.

Before we make it

A few things to think about

The more we know about your part, the more helpful our advice and quote can be.

  • Let us know which measurements you’ve checked and which are still a guess.
  • Tell us if you need a file you can edit, as well as one for printing.
  • If the part has to meet special safety rules, tell us at the start.
  • We’ll agree on the work and any extra changes in writing.
