Due to other work commitments, I’m reluctantly pausing regular operations of Triple Axis for now. However, I’ll still be taking online 3D print orders here and may still take on small, straight forward projects, especially for returning customers. If you have something in mind, feel free to reach out and I’ll let you know if it’s doable.
I will do my best to reply to enquiries but please accept my apologies if I’m not able to reply.
With Christmas fast approaching, we thought we’d let you know that in addition to the bank holidays we will be closed on 28th, 29th and 30th December 2022 so our first day back will be on Tuesday 3rd January 2023.
We hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
We now have some shiny new SLA 3D printers, so can offer highly detailed 4K resin 3D prints up to 192 x 120 x 245mm.
Want to go even bigger? Our largest FDM 3D printer can print up to 350 x 350 x 400mm.
What are SLA resin 3D Printers?
SLA 3D printing uses a liquid resin that turns solid when exposed to UV light. The build plate is lowered down into the resin and the object is created upside-down layer by layer as the build plate raises up. It is ideal for small highly detailed objects and the print quality is generally being better than FDM 3D printing, however, it is a little more expensive.
What are FDM 3D Printers?
FDM 3D printing uses a spool of filament that extruded onto a build plate in a creates the object layer by layer. It is the more cost-effective method of 3D printing and can be used to make both small and large objects that have a good strength.
Just a quick update to let you know that our services and lead times will be running as normal throughout the UK national lockdown that began on 5th January 2021.

Our first batch of 3D printed NHS shields have been donated to our local Queen Alexandra hospital in Portsmouth, there are lots more on the way. We hope they help in battling the COVID-19 virus amid the global PPE shortage. Particular thanks to Eggar Forrester Insurance for their donation to help with the cost of materials and to enable us to make a lot more.
We have just added a resin based 3D printer (known as an SLA 3D printer) to our fleet.
An SLA 3D printer uses resin that is cured using UV light. It tends to produce higher quality 3D prints than an FDM 3D printer which uses a spool of filament to create the object rather than liquid resin. However SLA 3D prints do tend to be more expensive to create. It is particularly suited to small intricate and highly details prints.
You can find out how much it will cost to have your design 3D printed in resin by using our Instant Quote feature and selecting resin as the material.
We are now able to give you instant quotes and online ordering for our 3D Printing Service. All you need to get started is an STL or OBJ file.
This will make the process of ordering 3D prints much quicker and allow you to order 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To get an instant price for your 3D prints, all you have to do is upload your STL or OBJ file and then choose from the relevant options (such as material, colour, layer height, infill and completion date). If you are happy with the price you can then go ahead and place the order right there and then. Try it out today.
If you would like something 3D printed but do not have an STL file, thats not a problem, we have our Design and 3D Print service for you.
As you know the outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is currently affecting millions of people around the world. Our thoughts go out to all the people that have been affected.
We wanted to let you know that our services and lead times are currently running as normal. We are taking every precaution necessary to ensure that the highest level of hygiene is maintained.
If you have any queries please get in touch.
We have added a new large FDM 3D printer to our fleet, this new addition can print objects up to 300x300x400mm and can produce fantastic quality 3D prints.
To find out more about what we can offer please get in touch.
We will be exhibiting at the UK Games Expo in order to showcase the benefits of 3D printing to games publishers and enthusiasts.
The show will take place at the NEC in Birmingham from Friday 29th – Sunday 31st May 2020 and you will find us at stand 2-366.
We will be sharing the stand with our client, Sky Raven Games, who are a games publisher and have used our services to help develop prototypes for there new board game.
