Send us a CAD file or hand sketch
We'll call you back to discuss your needs
You'll recieve your sample within 5 days
Our printed prototype package includes:
Build Volume: 215 x 215 x 300mm
Print Accuracy: 0.2 - 0.02 microns
Fill out the form to the right and send us your sketches or any CAD models.
Once we have recieved your design, a member of our team will be in touch to find out a little more about your project, as well as discuss your extrusion needs.
We will then put you in touch with our technical team who will be able to help you take your idea forward from napkin sketch to tangible sample in no time. After the design is finalised and it's ready to print, you can expect your sample to be with you within the next couple of days.
Whether you have a doodle or sketch, we can provide design assistance to get your drawing finalised & ready for print.
The most popular formats are DWG & DXF files however we also accept PDF files that we can recreate to a 3D file within a day.
We're able to offer a faster turnaround when you provide a 3D file for us to work with. We support all major CAD packages.
This service is only available for businesses who are developing products for extrusion that require a 3d printed prototype of their product.
In order to receive a free 3d printed prototype you must agree to let BWC Group quote for the supply of your finished product.
For more information on this service, contact our team here.
Typically a few days, dependent on how much of the design work you have completed.
If you are in the early stages of design and perhaps just have some rough sketches it could take us a little longer for us to help you finalise the design, set up the working CAD file, print the prototypes and post them to you.
You can send us AutoCAD, SolidWorks or FreeCAD files. Other generic formats include STL, DWG, DXF or just a simple PDF or JPEG sketch.
If you have already completed some of these steps yourself you can expect that we will be able to turn around your samples much sooner.
Contact a member of our design team for more information.
Worried your design may be a little too complicated? Don't be.
We are confident that no matter how complex your design, we will be able to devise a strategy to prototype it.
Our 3D printing facilities allows for a layer resolution as low as 0.1mm thickness per layer with a dimensional accuracy around 0.2 - 0.02 microns. This gives an overall accuracy and level of detail suitable for most requirements.
We can print extrusion prototypes with fabrication details such as any holes, miters, slots, threading etc. your sample might require. This will enable to check with or bond to other components in your product.
Established in 1999, we are UK based manufacturing group offering end-to-end manufactured component design and supply. Specialists in aluminium extrusion, plastic extrusion & injection moulding.
