What we design for you
New design
Components based on your sketch, description or dimensions.
Optimisation
Make existing parts lighter, stronger or suitable for 3D printing.
Topology optimisation
Material only where forces act – ideal for SLM (metal).
Technical drawings
2D drawings with dimensions and tolerances for your production.
From sketch to component
- Step 1
Briefing
You explain what the part has to do. A sketch, photo or dimensions are enough.
- Step 2
Concept
We propose a solution and clarify open points with you.
- Step 3
CAD model
We design the part and agree it with you.
- Step 4
Prototype
On request we print a prototype for testing right away.
What you get
Why is it worth designing specifically for 3D printing?
Many parts are designed for milling or injection moulding. Printing them unchanged wastes the strengths of 3D printing – or causes problems with warping, support structures and strength. A design made for 3D printing takes build direction, wall thicknesses, overhangs and clearances into account from the start.
At the same time, it opens up options that are otherwise impossible: combining several parts into one, integrating channels and snap fits directly, and using material only where forces act. For metal parts, topology optimisation is the next step – the result is light, organically shaped components that could hardly be milled.
You don’t need a finished model for this. A sketch with the key dimensions, a photo or an existing part is enough to start. You receive the CAD data as STEP and STL, a technical drawing on request – and the design belongs to you.
What you get
| CAD data | STEP and STL, other formats on request |
|---|---|
| Technical drawing | 2D with dimensions and tolerances – optional |
| Print-ready model | optimised for the right process |
| Prototype | printed straight away on request |
| Rights | the design belongs to you |
| Starting point | sketch, photo, dimensions or original part |
We agree on procedure, scope and date with you before we start.
What drives the price
- Complexity of the part and number of components
- Quality of the input: sketch, dimensions, old part or existing CAD
- Number of review rounds and variants
- Drawings, tolerance specifications and documentation
- Optimisations such as lightweight design or topology optimisation
How to speed things up
- Describe the function: what must the part do and withstand?
- State connection dimensions and installation space
- Send photos of the installation situation
- Name the quantity and preferred process, if known
- Distinguish between must-have and nice-to-have dimensions
FAQ about design
I only have a sketch. Is that enough?
Yes. A sketch with the most important dimensions is a good start. We clarify the rest in conversation.
Do I get the CAD data?
Yes, you receive the data of your component.
Can you also design for injection moulding or milling?
Talk to us – we will tell you honestly whether it fits our offering.
Want to turn your idea into a finished part?
Send us CAD data, a photo, a sketch or the original part. We check feasibility, process and material and get back to you with an assessment and a quote.
