3D Printing Services For Every Stage

From first prototype to final production, we support projects at any point in their lifecycle. Rapid prototyping helps you iterate before fully committing. Functional parts give you components made for real world use. Small batch manufacturing allows volume orders to be made. All printed in-house, quality checked and dispatched from the UK.

Rapid Prototyping

Test and refine your design before committing to expensive tooling.

Functional Parts

Durable components in engineering-grade materials, built for real use.

Small Batch Manufacturing

Ten parts or five hundred, with consistent quality throughout.

Design & Material Advice

Tell us how your part performs and we'll specify the material.

Simple, Transparent Pricing

Four material tiers, priced by weight, with the first 50g printed free on all standard filament orders. Your quote reflects material choice, part size, quantity and print time.

Standard

Everyday prototyping

PLA, PLA-Matt and PETG. Ideal for concept models, form and fit checks, jigs and general prototyping where cost matters most.

£0.06/g

Engineering

Strength and durability

ABS, ASA, PC, TPU and carbon fibre filled grades. For functional parts needing impact resistance, heat tolerance or outdoor durability.

£0.09/g

Advanced

Demanding applications

Flame retardant polycarbonate and glass or carbon filled nylons. For load-bearing components and parts facing sustained mechanical stress.

£0.15/g

High performance

Extreme environments

PPS, PPA, PAHT and PET carbon composites. For high temperatures, chemical exposure and the most demanding engineering applications.

£0.45/g

20% Student Discount on all orders. Ordered with educational email ac.uk.

Manufacturing Built Around Your Project

A UK 3D printing bureau producing prototypes, functional parts and short production runs across 21 engineering materials.
Every part is printed in-house on calibrated equipment using proven print profiles, then inspected before it leaves us. We review each set of files individually rather than running them through an automated pricing tool, so your quote reflects the best manufacturing approach for the job. No minimum order, no tooling costs, no obligation.
Choose PLA, PLA-Matt or PETG and get your first 50g printed free on every order.
You pay by weight. Each material has a price per gram, from £0.06/g to £0.45/g, and we count everything used to make your part, including any support material. You’ll see the full price in your quote before anything is printed.
The first 50g of every order is free on PLA, PLA-Matt and PETG. If your part weighs 150g including supports, you only pay for 100g, plus postage.
Yes. Anyone with an ac.uk email address gets 20% off, taken off after the free 50g.
No. You can order a single part, and we also run batches of 500+. Put the quantity in the quote form and we’ll confirm the price and timing.
Up to 420 × 420 × 420mm in one piece.
Standard packing and postage for a small UK parcel is £5. We post abroad too, and international or larger orders have the postage shown in the quote.
Get in touch and send us a photo of the problem. We’ll do everything we can to put it right.
Yes. Send us your NDA and we’ll sign it before we start. Your files are only used for your order and are never shared outside Print A Bit.
