Step 01
Export at the real size
Use millimetres when possible, and include approximate dimensions in the quote form so we can catch scale issues early.
File preparation.
A few checks before upload can make quoting faster and reduce surprises once the part reaches the print bed.
Step 02
Make the model watertight
Closed solids print more reliably. If you are unsure, send the file anyway and we will check it before quoting.
Step 03
Allow for wall thickness
Thin walls, tiny pins, and delicate clips may need adjustment depending on material and process.
Step 04
Add reference images
Photos, sketches, screenshots, and notes help us understand orientation, finish, assembly, and any critical faces.
Step 05
Group related files
For assemblies, upload a ZIP with every part and name files clearly so quantities and colours are easy to understand.
STLMost common mesh format
OBJUseful for textured models
STEPBest for engineering review
3MFGreat for modern slicers
Not sure if it is ready?
Upload what you have. We will inspect the file and tell you what needs to change before money is spent on a print.
