Manufacturing: Additive manufacturing: one part, a production run, or a whole product line.

We run the machines ourselves. Send a file or describe the part, and an engineer confirms feasibility by email before anything prints.

How an order starts

Send STEP, STL or 3MF, or describe the part in prose if you have no CAD. Both are normal ways to begin and both enter the same review. One part is a normal order, and the same file can run in parallel across several machines when you need a batch.

A person reads every part before it runs

The geometry is analysed rather than eyeballed: mesh integrity is validated and slicer settings are derived from your actual geometry against the material, the nozzle and what the part has to survive. Then an engineer checks orientation and layer axis, wall and feature minimums, material fit to the service environment you described, and whether the part fits the envelope or needs segmenting.

You hear the problems before they cost you

The feasibility email says what we would make it from, what we would change and why, and anything we have flagged. If something in the geometry is going to cost you, you find out before it is printed rather than after. Parts larger than the envelope are segmented, keyed and bonded, with the seams agreed before we start.
