Our 3D Print Bureau offers students, researchers and external clients a professional 3D printing service run by skilled technicians, using the latest high-spec machines.
The wide selection of 3D printers allows users to choose the most suitable material and additive process for their project, based on size, complexity, finish and material properties. We print in a range of materials, including PLA, ABS, Polycarbonate and Nylon (including with carbon fibre, glass fibre or Kevlar reinforcement). For highly-detailed parts we can print in resin, with a range to choose from giving different material properties, from elastic to tough and durable. We also offer full Pantone-correct colour printing for highly-detailed models and visual prototypes.
