Not only will you bring your product to market quicker than your competition, we’d like to think that your business can see the benefit of using our professional 3D printing services to cut costs, increase production, and save time and money in every phase of the development cycle.
Looking To The Future
It’s likely that in another 10 years all manufacturing companies will own a 3D printer or have access to one by forming a relationship with a 3D printing company.
It’s known that purchasing a 3D printer narrows down your options when choosing a specific technology but when you begin to use a 3D printing service, it allows you to be flexible in choosing from a range of materials.
It is also agreed that you might have to wait a day or two for that all important part but the risk of buying a machine is never hanging over you when you use a service bureau like 3D Quick Printing.
Our 3D Printers
Stratasys 3D Printers
Firstly the inventors of FDM, Stratasys 3D printers. The FDM 3D printers use ABS plastic where the part requires strength and functionality. Also commonly used for jigs and fixtures and small batch production.
Markforged 3D Printers
We use Markforged 3D Printers giving you highly accurate and tough parts using the material Onyx; a blend of Nylon with carbon fibre strands for extra robustness.
Conclusion
It’s safe to say that using 3D Quick Printing improves communication amongst engineers, the sales team and their customers by creating an aesthetic and functional 3D printed part helping the user get their product to market faster than the competition.
3D Printing For Architects
For Architects things have drastically changed over the last decade with the introduction of 3D printing. Whilst an Architect can visualise their creation, that message has to be conveyed to the client to allow his passion to be viewed in all its glory.
The History
Years ago, great time and expense were given to the model to be hand-crafted out of foam, cardboard, wire and Perspex sheet. Fast forward 10 years or so and it’s considered the norm for the Architect to perform a presentation that includes 3D Printed models produced in-house or at a 3D printing provider.
The Problems
‘Old fashioned’ A0 paper prints drawings are rarely accepted as they do not offer the intricacy and detail the client requires to make a decision. So, to the present day and the introduction of 3D printing. By using 3D printed Architectural models from a 3D printing service provider, the designer has the opportunity to show their creative flair having a greater chance of securing the business from the prospective client.
The Solution
A 3D printed model allows the Architect to show the building prior to completion even before the first brick is laid. One of the key issues when designing new buildings these days is how the proposed design affects the landscape and the surrounding area by 3D printing an Architectural model.
A scaled model along with the surrounding landscape can be 3D printed to see how it blends in with the surroundings. This mock-up of the landscape can also be used for wind tunnel testing.
3D printing architectural models also help with town planning around the proposed site giving others the opportunity to decide on cycle paths or pedestrian walkways on the new landscape.
3D Printing For Hobbyists
3D printing and making the use of a 3D printing service bureau has bred a thriving industry of self-taught designers who see business opportunities in making products for customers who have no access to customised or small batch production manufacturing techniques.
CAD Design
If you have not got the CAD skills, now with the emergence of websites like thingiverse.com and grabcad.com where product designers upload their designs for others to use, you can simply search and download it for free.

Whether it’s an iPad mount or a GoPro holder for your bike it’s likely you’ll find it on those two sites and 3D Quick Printing will be more than happy to 3D print your part. 3D Printing service bureaus are also hoping to fuel the growth of small businesses.
