Aerospace
This sector is increasingly turning to Additive Manufacturing technology for aerospace prototypes and series production parts which can be used for testing or as final production components, as it designs parts to make the most of the technology’s benefits. Our centre offers industry-leading solutions and expertise to deliver unprecedented productivity in areas such as increasing speed and reliability of quality assurance and validation processes, lowering fuel costs through lightweighting and parts consolidation, and increasing manufacturing productivity through innovative 3D printed casting patterns, 3D data recovery, injection-mold design of airworthy parts.
Jigs and Fixtures
3D printing design flexibility allows you to optimize jigs, fixtures and other manufacturing aids for specific tasks, components, individuals or equipment without increasing costs or production time.
Low Volume Production
Say yes to production of low volume, customized parts. Without the delay and expense of tooling, you can produce geometrically complex parts in-house that are durable, stable, and repeatable.Say yes to production of low volume, customized parts.

Automotive
Whether it’s a prototype concept car, a production car or a formula 1 racing car, Additive Manufacturing is likely to have played a part in its development. Our hardware, software and services solutions are provided to companies for developing lighter weight parts to drive down manufacturing costs, design and produce innovative assemblies that reduce part counts and provide greater strength and efficiency, and create realistic prototypes that can remove months from the product development process.
Manufacturing Tooling
Act faster and shrink the cost and risk associated with producing specialty tools and custom fixtures. Be creative and innovate quickly to produce the tools you need to do the job with greater efficiency and ease.
Jigs and Fixtures
The flexibility of 3D printing solutions frees you to optimize jigs, fixtures and other manufacturing aids for specific tasks, components, individuals, or equipment.
Low Volume Production
Shift your production work to 3D printing and eliminate the expense of tooling, set-ups and change overs to save up to 90%.
Possible Products
Auto models, heat exchanger, Gearbox Prototype, bike stem, Air box, Replication of car dash board, car models, Assembly verification and training of vehicle pipe routing, Motorbike assembly kits, Part & tool inspection, cooling ducts, Battery Housing, jigs and fixtures.
Medical
The medical industry requires materials that are compatible, non-corrosive, and have high wear resistance. In addition, it can be difficult to obtain the complex geometries custom for each patient. With traditional processes, it can be difficult to make parts with these demands. 3D printing are capable of producing intricate geometries and work with titanium, nickel alloys, surgical stainless steel, and more materials that work well inside the human body. We offer surgeons, healthcare professionals, medical device manufacturers, and medical teaching staff a range of precision healthcare solutions, including 3D printed anatomical models, virtual surgical planning, patient-specific surgical guides, instrumentation and implants.
Manufacturing Tooling
Optimize surgical planning with spatially, tactilely, and physically accurate models based on patient scans. Surgical teams can use the 3D printed models to plan therapeutic approaches, and make more efficient use of expensive operating room time.
Education and Training
3D printed multi-material models can replicate the complexity and wide range of patient pathology, making them superior tools for medical education. But how do 3D printed models compare to traditional training methods?
Medical Device Prototyping
Get to market faster with clinically meaningful and marketable products. Use 3D printing solutions to rapidly produce prototypes with the shape, texture, and material properties of any medical device. Test quickly for early feedback and optimize designs for final production.
Possible Products
Artificial limbs, knee and hip joint replacements.
Architecture and Scale Models
The architectural industry is continually developing creative solutions for work and living spaces, with increasing investment being made into the regeneration of town centres, schools, hospitals and recreational areas. Constantly striving to improve design excellence, Architects, Artists and Designers are pushing the boundaries to create inspiring, innovative and increasingly, environmentally friendly, structures. Whilst high-tech design software can provide photo-realistic images, a tactile, 3D model of the proposed design can play a vital role in visualising the concept or securing a tender bid, and can be used as a demonstration piece at promotional events or in marketing photography. Offering high levels of functionality combined with aesthetics, our highly skilled model makers and post-processing specialists can generate fully finished models with outstanding paint effects and intricate details such as trees, people, sign posts and vehicles, all supplied in a glass display cabinet.
Possible Products
Scale model cars, scale model telescopes, scale model building complexes for developers, scale model bikes, scale model satellite modules, architectural models, military models and more.
Consumer Goods and Home Appliances
In a market where consumers want to stand out from the crowd, 3D Printing helps to create products that are unique to the individual. Mass customization and personalization options offer unlimited potential to deliver bespoke products. Whether you’re looking to create the next production line of personalized consumer goods, or simply want to create an original gift for a loved one, the design comes before everything else. Our design and engineering team works together with you to adapt your ideas to our 3D printing technology. Explore new textures, shapes and structures not possible with traditional manufacturing methods. Introduce integrated functionality such as living hinges, snap-fit mechanisms, or interchangeable features to deliver added-value and improve your products performance.
Functional Prototyping
3D printing technology allow you to create production-grade prototypes that look, feel, and perform like your final product.
Injection Molding
Print a mold. Shoot 10 to 100 parts. Then test and validate your designs using final production materials and processes. It could save you the time, cost, and waste of retooling.
Rapid Prototyping
Get better consumer feedback, test more thoroughly, and fix problems early on — before they become costly. Rapid prototyping will help you uncover more ways to perfect your designs.
Possible Products
Bathroom accessories, stationery items, shoe models, shoe patterns, toothbrush models, shaving razor models, mobile phone enclosure and casings, eye wears, work of art, conference gifts, watches, toys, cutlery stand, lighting stand, egg shelf, bottle shelf, shelf trims, and many more.
