Product Design & Prototyping
Turn your idea into a working prototype.
CAD design and rapid prototyping to turn your idea into a working product. Start with a sketch, a photo or just a description, and we'll design it, print it and refine it with you.
From idea to product
You don't need a CAD file to start.
Bring a sketch, a photo, measurements or just a description. We'll turn it into a detailed 3D model designed around how it will be used, then print a prototype you can hold, fit and test.
If something needs changing, we adjust the design and print the next version. Once it's right, you can get the final files or move straight into production.
- From a sketch, photo or idea to a 3D model
- Designed for strength, fit and printability
- Final files in STEP, STL and other formats
What we can do
What we can help with.
Concept to 3D model
Start from an ideaHave an idea but no CAD file? We can turn sketches, photos, measurements or concepts into a detailed 3D model.
Product prototypes
Test the real thingCreate physical prototypes to test the size, fit, appearance and function of your design.
CAD design
Built to your specsCustom 3D models designed around your dimensions, requirements and intended use.
Design improvements
Stronger, better fitRefine an existing design to improve strength, fit, usability or how easily it can be made.
Functional testing
Fit & assemblyPrototypes that can be assembled, fitted and tested before moving into larger production.
Design for 3D printing
Print-ready partsParts optimised for reliable, cost-effective 3D printing.
How it works
From idea to finished product.
You'll see the design and the price before anything is printed.

FAQ
Common questions.
Do I need a drawing or CAD file to get started?
No. You can start with a sketch, photo, measurements, a reference product, or simply explain your idea.
Can you help develop an idea from scratch?
Yes. We can help turn an early concept into a practical 3D design and a physical prototype.
Can I make changes after seeing the prototype?
Yes. That's what prototyping is for: we test the design and make improvements before it's finalized.
Can you design something specifically for 3D printing?
Yes. We design and optimise parts for 3D printing, including strength, tolerances, assembly and printability.
Can you make multiple copies once the prototype is finished?
Yes. Once the design is final, we can print as many as you need through our bulk production service.
What files can I receive?
Depending on the project, final files can include STEP, STL and other common CAD formats.
Let's get started
Have something you need made?
Have a 3D file, a sketch, an existing part or just an idea? Send it our way and we'll help figure out the best way to bring it to life. You don't need to have everything worked out first.
