How do I get an instant 3D printing quote?
Drop a CAD file into the tool above, choose the process and material, and set the quantity — the price comes back in seconds for anything from a single prototype up to 100,000 parts. Nothing is charged until you place the order.
What currency will I be quoted in?
GBP, USD or EUR — switch currency at the top of the quote tool and the pricing updates with it. Quotes and invoices are issued in the currency you select.
Do I need to create an account?
No password, no. You can upload and price parts straight away. To save a quote or place an order you enter your email address and type in the one-time code we send — that is the whole sign-in. It keeps your files and pricing tied to you, and lets you return to a saved quote or reorder a proven part later without starting from scratch.
What file formats can I upload?
STL, STEP, IGES and 3MF, or a ZIP containing several files, up to 1000 MB. STEP is preferred where you have it, because it carries the exact geometry rather than a triangulated approximation — that matters on curved surfaces and tight-fitting features.
What if I don’t have a 3D model?
Use the
RFQ without Models option in the tool, or
send us what you have — a drawing, a photograph, a sample part or just a description. Our engineers will quote from it, and where a physical part needs reproducing we can scan and reverse engineer it back to a manufacturable model first.
Is my CAD data confidential?
Yes. We work under NDA as standard and hold Cyber Essentials certification. Your files and your parts stay in the UK — everything is manufactured at our own facility in Shipston-on-Stour, with no brokering or offshore subcontracting. Please don’t upload export-controlled data through the tool; contact us and we’ll arrange a controlled route.
What if I don’t know which material to choose?
Tell us the load, the temperature, the environment and the quantity, and we will spec the grade free with your quote. That is usually a better route than picking from a list — the deciding factor is often the operating environment rather than the headline strength figure. The
material datasheets carry every published value against its ISO test method if you would rather compare yourself.
Is there a minimum order, and do you offer trade accounts?
No minimum — one part is a perfectly normal order, and there is no tooling to pay for either way. Unit price falls as quantity rises because more parts share each build. Trade accounts with 30-day payment terms are available for regular buyers;
ask us to set one up.
How quickly will I get my parts?
SLS, FDM and SLA run 1–3 working days on express, or 5–7 days standard. MJF runs a single 5–7 day lead time once cooling, de-powdering, finishing and inspection are counted in — there is no express tier on MJF, and we would rather say so than promise it and miss. Finishing adds time, and it is confirmed on your quote.
