3D Printing & Prototyping
I print using FDM: single parts, prototypes you can hold and repeat parts in small quantities.
Your challenge
A design needs testing before money goes into tooling. Or you need twenty identical fixtures — a quantity for which injection moulding never pays off.
How I solve it
I print the part, check the fit and print the next revision if needed. Once the geometry is right, the same file runs as a small series. I choose the material for the application — not every part has to withstand UV or heat, but some do.
A prototype enclosure to check the fit. Twenty identical assembly gauges for the workbench. A spare part you can no longer buy.
The process
- 1
First conversation
You tell me what it is about. I tell you honestly whether I am the right person for it — and if not, I say so.
- 2
A quote with a number
You get in writing what will be done, what it costs and how long it takes. No surprises on the invoice.
- 3
Build
I build, you see the progress along the way. In design work that means intermediate models, in software a preview you can click through.
- 4
Hand-over & support
You get the data, the access details and instructions in plain language. After that I am there when something comes up.
Technology
- FDM / filament printing
- Material chosen for the application
- Small series & repeat parts
- Fixtures, gauges, spare parts
- Straight from the CAD model
Pricing
Based on material and print time, with tiered pricing for small series. If I do the design as well, both are billed together.
