I needed some parts 3D printed for mounting a 5G Router to a pole which would allow the router to be centrally mounted and set to the desired angle. I found 3DPrintingExpress online and used the online form to fill out my request and upload the STL files. James then contacted me directly via email to get things organised. The parts I need printing needed some adjustment to the models before they were printed, which was done without any issue. The printing service was quick and the parts fit perfectly for my project. Would highly recommend, great service, great value and great quality!!

Freddy helped replicate an obsolete car part that no longer exists. By reverse engineered the original component which was originally broken. The final 3D printed part was outstanding. The quality is excellent. They made multiple revisions to the parts until was perfect. For anyone needing a replica part service for classic cars or restorations, this company is a game changer. Great at problem solving and would highly recommend their 3d printing service.

FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) feeds a heated stream of thermoplastic filament along a G-code path, stacking layers until the part takes shape. The method is rapid, accurate, and remarkably economical, with post-processing usually limited to snapping off or dissolving supports.

3D Printing Edinburgh FAQs
Helpful questions about ordering 3D prints from Edinburgh
How quickly can you deliver my parts to Edinburgh?
Order FDM or SLA before 11 am and we’ll dispatch next-day—often the very same evening if the queue is light. SLS and MJF typically leave the workshop in 2–3 working days, while painted or vapour-smoothed parts add just 24 hours. Need it even faster? Ask for our “bike-courier BH-postcodes” option and your part can reach any Bournemouth address by 7 pm.
Can you help improve or fix my 3D design file if I'm based in Edinburgh?
Absolutely. If you ’re in Bournemouth and your 3D file isn’t quite print-ready, we can help tidy it up, repair it, or make small design tweaks so it prints properly. You can send your files to us online, and if needed we can jump on a quick call to walk through any changes before we start printing.
Do you work with local Edinburgh businesses, schools, and universities on ongoing 3D printing projects?
Yes – we regularly support businesses, schools, colleges and university projects with ongoing 3D printing. Whether you need one-off prototypes, regular batch runs, or term-time support for student work, we can set up a repeat service that fits your schedule and budget. Just let us know what you’re working on and how often you’ll need parts.
How can I reduce the cost of my 3D prints?
The price we quote is mainly driven by four things—material, part volume, print process, and finishing. Tweak them thoughtfully and you can shave 20–60 % off the bill without compromising function.
I need help creating a 3D model – can you do that?
Yes, we offer professional CAD services and modelling. If you have a rough sketch or a physical part you need copying or made we have got you covered
Can you handle larger batch 3D printing orders for companies and manufacturers?
Yes – we’re set up for both prototypes and larger batch production for companies. We can run multiple parts at once, optimise print orientation for cost and speed, and keep your settings on file so repeat orders are fast and consistent. If you have a bigger project, send us your requirements and we’ll advise on lead times and pricing.
