Production Speeds and Delivery Methods

Overnight Express 3D-printed prototype parts

If time is of the essence, we 3D print parts overnight and send them via next-day delivery with our Overnight Express service. Quality is never compromised, so you can be sure your Overnight Express parts will always be produced to the same high standards. Machine settings and build orientation are optimised to suit the part’s functional or aesthetic requirements, not build speed.

You can specify the level of finish required (see our Finishing options page). Depending on the 3D printing technology used, we can wash parts in cleaning solution, remove support witness marks, remove build lines, apply a light bead blast, and spray with lacquer to seal the surfaces.

Standard and Economy service for 3D printed prototype parts 

Our Standard production speed for 3D printed parts is three-working printing, and Economy is an eight-day printing service. Once parts have been printed and packaged, they are sent using next-day delivery. There is no reduction in quality for the Economy service, just a longer dispatch time.

With both Standard and Economy, we offer a wide range of Finishing options for 3D printed parts. If we need to outsource specialist finishing, delivery times may be extended.
