CAD Design Services

Don't have a 3D file? No problem. Our experienced designers can create, modify, or prepare your designs for 3D printing.

3D Modelling

We'll create a 3D model from your sketches, drawings, photos, or descriptions. Whether it's a simple bracket or a complex assembly, we can bring your idea to life.

  • From sketches or drawings
  • From photos (2D to 3D)
  • From verbal/written descriptions
  • Organic shapes and characters
  • Mechanical and engineering parts
From £30/hour

Design Modifications

Need changes to an existing design? We can modify your 3D files to add features, adjust dimensions, or combine multiple parts.

  • Dimension adjustments
  • Adding mounting holes/features
  • Combining multiple parts
  • Splitting large parts for printing
  • Adding text/logos
From £20/hour

Often completed in under an hour

Design for Manufacturing (DFM)

We'll optimise your design for successful 3D printing. Includes analysis and modifications to ensure your part prints well and functions as intended.

  • Wall thickness optimisation
  • Support minimisation
  • Orientation recommendations
  • Tolerance adjustments for fits
  • Splitting for print bed limits
From £15/file

Quick turnaround

File Repair & Preparation

Fix issues with your 3D files that prevent successful printing. We'll repair mesh errors, close holes, and ensure your file is print-ready.

  • Mesh repair (holes, non-manifold)
  • File format conversion
  • Unit scaling (inches to mm)
  • STL optimisation
  • Polygon reduction
From £10/file

Most repairs under £20

Reverse Engineering

Need to reproduce a part but don't have the original CAD? We can measure and recreate parts from physical samples.

  • Physical part measurement
  • CAD recreation from samples
  • Dimensional adjustments
  • Functional improvements
  • STEP/IGES file delivery
From £50/part

Depends on complexity

Assembly Design

Design multi-part assemblies with proper tolerances, fastening methods, and assembly sequence planning.

  • Multi-part assembly design
  • Snap-fit and press-fit features
  • Hardware integration
  • Assembly instructions
  • Exploded view drawings
From £40/hour
