Our 3D Printing service is the most premier that you can find anywhere in Derby. Whatever 3D object you are looking for, we can print it. Big, small, complex, it doesn't matter to us. If you aren't able to provide a 3D Print file for yourself, then please allow us to help you create your own and take advantage of our custom 3D print service. From obsolete vehicle parts, to decorative ornaments, or even statues, we can produce them in fine detail. Reverse engineering is a specialty of ours. We also have a fantastic range of industrial materials to choose from to achieve perfect and long lasting products. Wherever you are in Derby, we are the number one local 3D printing store for all of your 3D printing requirements.
Derby 3D Printing - 3D Design
The first stage in starting your 3D Printing journey is creating a 3D Design of your part. This can be done by yourself if you experience with 3D modelling. If not, please contact our design team for a tailor made quote, just for you, at how much this may cost.
We require an STL file for 3D Printing as that is the industry normal but any 3D file is fine with us, as we can convert it before printing.
That STL file is then placed into our slicer software which we use to calculate the time taken and material amount used during the print. This ultimately gives us the cost for your 3D Print.
There are a lot of factors that go into the cost of a 3D Print, such as the chosen material, how long it takes to print, the orientation, the quantity etc...so it's best to contact us first so we can provide you with an accurate and competitive quote.
3D Printing Derby has the latest and best range of thermoplastics on the 3D Print market. More and more materials are becoming available, meaning that 3D Print can cover more sectors and solve an enlarging range of problems.
PLA, ABS and PETG are some of the most common thermoplastics in the 3D Print world and can cover all your basic needs. They use the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) process of 3D Printing which involves material being extruded from a nozzle above the build plate. It then extrudes the material layer by layer until the part is finished.
These materials, using this process, are very useful for prototyping. If you need your design prototyping to test the design, then PLA 3D printing is great. It can print to a quick turnaround and has good overall mechanical properties.
If you're looking for an end-use part then PETG or ABS would be perfect. They look the same as PLA but have enhanced mechanical properties, meaning they're stronger and more durable.
3D Printing Derby is the go-to destination for thermoplastic 3D printing in Derby, so contact us now to see how we can help you.

Derby 3D Printing - Metals and Composites
Metals and Composites are a specialty of 3D Printing Derby and allows you to use 3D printing in the industrial sector.
Metal 3D Printing is still in its infancy but is already making waves in the manufacturing sector. It's very strong and incredibly durable, meaning it can be used for a wide range of applications in the industrial sector. Perfect for end-use parts, jigs and fixtures, and prototypes before mass production.
Composite 3D Printing has been around for a bit longer and is a great alternative to Metal 3D Printing. 3D Printing Derby has access to a great range of composite materials such as Carbon Fibre, Kevlar, Fibreglass and HSHT Fibreglass. These materials have similar mechanical properties to Aluminium but at a fraction of the weight.
