Sample first
Check fit, appearance and function before committing to the full quantity.
REPEATABLE LOW-VOLUME PARTSSmall-batch 3D printing
Small-batch 3D printing
without conventional tooling.
Produce practical quantities of a proven design while keeping the ability to revise the file between batches.
Clear unit pricing
The quotation separates unit and total amounts and records any agreed batch adjustment.
Controlled revisions
The digital model can be updated before a later batch when the design changes.
01 / GUIDE
Suitable small batches
Repeated FDM production is useful for validated components, educational aids, prototypes, fixtures, mockups and custom products where the geometry is suitable.
- Repeated functional components
- Pilot production runs
- Project and educational parts
- Customised or versioned items
02 / GUIDE
What affects the batch quotation
Quantity is only one factor. Bed layout, print duration, failure risk, material availability, post-processing and deadline all affect scheduling and final pricing.
03 / GUIDE
Approval before production
We preserve the agreed specification in the order record. A changed file, material or finish requires a revised review so the batch matches the latest approved quotation.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Useful details before you begin.
Is ten pieces exactly ten times the unit price?+
Not necessarily. We review setup, bed layout and production risk before confirming the batch total.
Can I approve one sample first?+
Yes. Producing and reviewing a sample is recommended for functional or repeated parts.
Can every item have a different colour?+
Potentially, subject to material and colour availability. Tell us the required variation when requesting the quotation.
