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 gives you the widest choice of 3d printing processes and materials where your designs are intended for 'end use' & production applications.

One of the key advantages of choosing our 'Strong & Durable' 3D printing service gives you the ability to build your parts in 'real' production grade materials.  Our wide range of thermoplastics gives you your parts in 'real' production plastics for testing while Metals, Carbon and Graphite reinforced Nylon, Silicone, Ceramic and Polypropylene give you access to a range of materials individually featuring desirable properties to suit your application.  

ABS. Fast Turnaround, Excellent Value.

Producing your designs our small format ABS material gives you fast turnaround times (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 default material for our Strong & Durable service is which produces strong and durable parts.   It comes in a range of colours and a Bio compatible FDA approved version.
