What 3D printing services do you offer?
RYSE 3D offers four production 3D printing technologies under one roof: SLS (Selective Laser Sintering), MJF (Multi Jet Fusion), FDM (large-format, up to 500 x 500 x 900 mm) and SLA (resin printing). All are printed, finished and inspected at our own ISO 9001 facility in the UK, from a single prototype to production volume.
Which 3D printing process should I choose?
As a rough guide: choose FDM for big, rigid parts up to 900 mm; MJF for hundreds of identical end-use parts at the lowest cost per part; SLS for functional nylon parts with complex geometry and no supports; and SLA for the smoothest surface, finest detail, or clear, ESD and flame-retardant parts.

What is the difference between SLS, MJF, FDM and SLA?
SLS and MJF both fuse nylon powder with no supports - SLS has the widest material range including glass-filled and carbon-filled grades, MJF is tuned for repeatable production volume across a full bed. FDM extrudes engineering filament for large, rigid parts up to 900 mm. SLA laser-cures resin for the smoothest surface and finest detail. Send the CAD and we will advise which fits.
How big can a 3D printed part be?
Up to 500 x 500 x 900 mm in one piece on large-format FDM. SLS runs 165 x 165 x 300 mm as standard and 490 x 490 x 740 mm in PA12-CF, MJF runs 380 x 284 x 380 mm, and SLA runs 353 x 196 x 350 mm. Bigger than any single envelope and we split, print, bond and inspect the assembly.
Do you offer a 3D printing service near me in the UK?
RYSE 3D is a UK 3D printing service based in Shipston-on-Stour, Warwickshire, central for the Midlands, Coventry, Birmingham, Oxford, London and the South East, and shipping parts UK-wide. Nothing is offshored and nothing is brokered out. Upload your CAD from anywhere in the UK.
How much does 3D printing cost in the UK?
Pricing depends on the process, part size, material, finish and quantity. Upload a STEP or STL to our instant quote tool for GBP pricing in seconds, on anything from a single part to 100,000 production parts, with no tooling and no minimum order.
Can you do production and low-volume manufacturing?
Yes. MJF and SLS are built for repeatable end-use parts at batch and series volume, and FDM covers bridge and low-volume production. Instant online pricing runs from a single prototype to 100,000 parts, with unit price falling as quantity rises. Volume production sits alongside prototyping here, not behind it.
How fast is your 3D printing service?
Lead time depends on the process: FDM and SLA offer next-day and express turnaround on many parts, SLS runs express 1-3 working day options, and MJF production typically takes 5-7 working days. Your lead time is confirmed at quote.
What finishing do you offer?
Bead blasting, dyeing, vapour smoothing, vibratory polishing, painting and assembly - all done in-house, so there is no second supplier and no extra week in the schedule. Finishing options vary by process and are confirmed with your quote.
Do you offer trade accounts?
Yes. Regular buyers get a trade account with a dedicated account manager, part history held on the account so repeat orders do not need re-quoting, and volume pricing that scales up to 100,000 parts.
