Our Motto is .. 

If you can imagine it,

You can create (design) it,

you can make (print) it.

We will help you bring your ideas to life.

The world of 3d printing is rapidly changing the landscape of the industrial and engineering world and we decided to be part of that change. 

We have two 5 Uglymonkey 3D printers which we use for our 3d prints and prototyping. Our preferred material for printing is ABS, PLA and Super PLA Plastics. ABS is strong and used in everyday products . PLA is used for small prototypes with a clean gloss look and Super PLA for strong pressure resistant parts.

Uglymonkey printers can print in a vertical resolution of 0.25mm (250 Microns) all the way down to 0.02mm (20 Microns) and has a build space of 210mm Wide X 210mm Deep X 240mm High. That might not look like much, but we have had a lot of success by doing projects in multiple parts and assembling or gluing parts together depending on the type of prototype. 

Uglymonkey is very affordable with our rates and print costs. So give us a call and we will gladly work out a quote for you.
