Do you offer custom batch production for businesses?

Yes, batch production is our core offering. We work with businesses to produce 1 to 10,000 parts as needed.
Do you offer finishing or assembly?

We can provide light finishing or basic assembly depending on the parts. Just let us know what you need.
Can you help me develop a prototype from scratch?

Yes. We can support you from concept to CAD to printed prototype.
Can I order a mix of different parts in one order?

Of course. You can combine multiple models in a single batch run.
What’s the best way to send you my files?

Via our website form, email, or file transfer links (e.g. Google Drive, WeTransfer).
Can I send a photo or sketch instead of a CAD file?

Yes, though we’ll need to model it first. This service can be quoted separately.
What file formats do you accept?

We accept STL, STEP, OBJ, and 3MF files.
What payment methods do you accept?

We accept bank transfers, PayPal, and will soon support debit/credit card payments.
How do I get a quote?

You can upload your files via our website form, or email them to us directly for a custom quote.
Is there a minimum order value?

Yes minimum order value of £25. We welcome one-off parts just as much as batch runs.
Do you offer discounts for repeat customers or bulk orders?

Yes, we offer repeat client discounts and bulk pricing for larger batch jobs. Check out our referral scheme.
Do you charge setup fees?

No setup fees for standard jobs. Complex modelling or design requests may incur a small additional charge.
Can your materials withstand chemicals or solvents?

PETG has decent chemical resistance. ABS is better for oils and greases. For highly chemical-resistant applications, speak to us first so we can advise on the right material.
What materials do you use (PLA, PETG, TPU etc.)?

We offer PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, and speciality filaments based on part performance needs.
Are your prints heat-resistant?

PLA has a lower heat resistance (~60°C), while ABS and PETG handle ~80–100°C. TPU is flexible but not heat-resistant. We’ll help select the right material for your needs.
Can you print flexible or engineering-grade parts?

Yes, we can print TPU (flexible), and PETG or ABS for tougher, functional parts.
18. Are your prints suitable for outdoor use?

Yes — PETG, ABS, and ASA are better suited for outdoor conditions as they resist UV and moisture. PLA is not ideal for long-term outdoor exposure.
Can I request a specific colour or finish?

Yes! We stock a range of filament colours and finishes, including matte, silky, and translucent options. Custom requests are welcome.
Do you print for start-ups and product teams?

Yes, our services are designed around the needs of start-ups and agile teams that require functional parts quickly.
Who do you work with?

We work with start-ups, product development teams, hardware designers, creatives, hobbyists, and businesses across multiple industries.
Can you print cosplay props or replica parts?

Absolutely. We work with cosplayers and creators to produce detailed, wearable or display-ready models.
Do you print enclosures or brackets for electronics?

Yes, we frequently print custom enclosures, brackets, mounts, and jigs for electronics and product housing.
What’s your typical turnaround time for batch orders?

Batch jobs typically take 3–7 working days depending on volume, part size, and finishing requirements.
How long does it take to print my part?

Most one-off prints are ready within 1–3 working days depending on complexity and queue.
Can you do same-day or next-day prints?

Yes, for urgent jobs we offer a priority service depending on capacity. Let us know your deadline and we’ll do our best.
Can you help with CAD design or 3D modelling?

Yes, we offer in-house 3D modelling support to help bring your ideas to life or optimise your existing files for printing.
What types of 3D printing do you provide?

Currently, we offer high-quality FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) printing using a range of materials suited for functional parts and prototypes.
Do you offer one-off prints or small batches?

Absolutely. We specialise in low-volume production and one-off functional prototypes.
What services does 3D Printing Express offer?

We offer rapid prototyping, low-volume batch 3D printing, 3D modelling, and CAD design support. We cater to startups, product teams, creatives, and engineers.
Do you offer prototyping or just production?

We offer both. Whether you need a one-off prototype or a batch run of production-ready parts, we’ve got you covered.
I only have a drawing. Can you work with that

Yes - we can design from sketches, photos, or verbal concepts
Do you offer design + Printing

Yes - once your file is ready and designed for 3D Printing we can quote and produce the final parts.
Can I use my CAD model for injection moulding Later

Yes - just let us know, and we'll design with that in mind
