Strong & Durable Service. Production Materials.

3D Printing giving strong and durable parts

3D Printing strong and durable parts for end use applications.

Our 'Strong and Durable' service is the perfect choice for producing your designs intended for 'end use' production applications. Choose the optimum material for your application from our wide range of 3d printing technologies and materials.  

Our 'Strong & Durable' 3D-Printing service means that you can build your designs in 'real' production grade materials.  Our wide range of thermoplastics gives you your parts in 'real' production plastics for testing while Metals, Carbon reinforced Nylon, Silicone, Ceramic and Polypropylene give you access to a range of materials featuring properties to suit your applications.  

ABS. Fast Turnaround, Excellent Value.

Producing your designs in ABS material gives you fast turnaround options (often next day)  with lower cost per model and is the service of choice for many rapid prototyping or model making applications.

ABS plastic (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is our default material for 3d-printing strong and durable parts.   It comes in a range of colours, ESD and Bio compatible versions.
