Move from CAD to a physical prototype without adding another supplier to the early design loop.

D&L can supply 3D-printed prototype parts for suitable projects, supporting fit checks, concept evaluation and design iteration alongside the CAD work.

Prototype support

Useful for fit, form and design iteration

Prototype printing is intended to help validate geometry early, identify practical issues and make design changes before committing to more expensive production tooling or external manufacture.

Print-ready customer files

Supply an existing STL, 3MF or suitable CAD file for review and quotation.

CAD + prototype package

Combine a simple design task with a physical printed part so the geometry can be checked in the real application.

Iteration & reprint

Make agreed CAD changes following the first fit check and produce a revised prototype where required.

Small prototype batches

Suitable low-volume prototype quantities can be quoted where multiple samples are useful.

Prototype use

3D-printed parts are supplied as prototypes unless a different end use is specifically agreed. Material, strength, tolerance and surface finish depend on the selected print process and should be considered before using a prototype as a final production component.
