Prototyping
Need a prototype 3D printed fast?
​
At 3D Printing Express, we specialise in rapid 3D printed prototypes for engineers, start-ups, and product teams across the UK. From first mock-ups to functional test parts, we help you move from idea to physical prototype quickly and reliably.
Iterate, tweak and refine as often as you need - without being locked into minimum order quantities or long lead times.
What We Prototype:
-
Proof-of-concept models (quick prints)
​
