Our Core 3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing Services
We deliver production-grade additive manufacturing across metals, polymers, and advanced resins — engineered for industries where quality and reliability can’t be compromised. From prototypes to large-format 3D printing services, here are our core additive manufacturing capabilities:
Metal 3D Printing Service
As one of the UK’s leading metal 3D printing service providers, we offer titanium, aluminium, and stainless steel printing for industrial applications. Built for aerospace, defence, and high-stress environments, our metal 3D printing service delivers:
- Exceptional strength-to-weight ratios for lightweight components.
- Superior corrosion and heat resistance for durability under extreme conditions.
- Tight tolerance and surface quality through precision processes.
High-Performance Polymer 3D Printing
Our polymer 3D printing service in the UK includes SLA, DLP, and other high-resolution options ideal for prototyping, dental, and tooling applications, enabling functional prototypes and end-use parts that perform where traditional plastics fail. 3D printing with high-performance polymers ensures designs:
- Can withstand continuous service temperatures above 200°C.
- Are chemically and mechanically robust for industrial and automotive environments.
- A lightweight yet rigid, ideal for housings, brackets, and test rigs.
3D Printing with Resins
Our resin 3D printing service UK delivers precision and surface quality ideal for visual models, dental applications, and tooling. Using SLA and DLP technologies, we produce highly detailed components with superior surface finishes and material versatility. 3D printing with advanced photopolymer resins ensures designs:
- Ultra-smooth surfaces for visual models and moulds.
- Flexible and castable resins for dental and jewellery applications.
- Functional prototype materials for tooling and testing.
Digital Inventory
Gone are the days of physical warehouses filled with excess stock – built up through ‘just in case’ production runs or MOQ restrictions. With Truform, you can build up a digital inventory – ensuring the parts you need to print are always just a click away.
We securely store all your CAD files and 3D scan data, creating a virtual stockroom for your business. Whether you need a replacement part or a full production run, simply access your designs and order prints whenever you need them.
This approach streamlines the 3D printing process, supporting on-demand manufacturing that’s built around your needs to help you reduce waste, shorten lead times, and manufacture smarter.
3D Scanning
Our 3D scanning service lets you digitise existing parts, prototypes, or assemblies with precision and speed. Using advanced non-contact, handheld optical scanners, we capture every surface detail to create accurate digital models – ideal for redesign, reproduction, or digital inventory creation.
For small to medium components, scanning is completed in-house using compact, high-resolution systems. For larger or more complex parts requiring metrology-grade accuracy, we collaborate with our trusted scanning partners to ensure every detail is captured to specification.
The result is an accurate digital CAD model that replicates the exact geometry of your part. Once scanned, our team can refine, optimise, or prepare the file for print – enabling you to reproduce legacy components, customise new designs, or reverse-engineer critical parts with confidence.
Looking for a Specific 3D Printing Material? We Can Build It
At Truform, we specialise in custom, hybrid, and experimental builds — bringing complex ideas to life through smart engineering and process integration. We support custom requirements such as large-format 3D printing services, silicone 3D printing services, metal-plated polymers, or custom hybrid materials. Quite simply, if you can model it, we can build it.
The Benefits of Our 3D Printing Services
Our 3D printing services are designed to make high-quality production simple, flexible, and fast — supporting your creative process from prototype to final product. Here are the benefits of working with us:
On-demand 3D Printing
Our on-demand 3D printing service allows you to order prototypes or production-ready parts anytime, from anywhere in the UK.
Rapid Turnarounds
Delays are frustrating. Experience a truly quick 3D printing service with local UK production. Skip the long wait times and receive your delivery in days, not weeks.
Local Printing
We manufacture orders through our nationwide network - manufacturing locally to you wherever possible. This reduces lead times, offers more control, and means you’ll receive your order sooner.
Flexible & Scalable
Whether you need a custom 3D printing service for prototypes or full-scale production, we adapt to your needs. We’ll be with you through ideation, company set-up, scaling, and even global expansion.
Planet Conscious
Our additive manufacturing services use recycled or biodegradable materials wherever possible. This also allows us to extend product life, reduce waste, and lead the way in planet-conscious 3D printing.
Clear Communication
We keep you updated throughout the additive manufacturing process. Whether you’ve done it before or you’re a newbie with a thousand questions, our expert team is on hand to help.
FAQs
What is 3D printing?
3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, describes the process of turning a design into a physical object by adding material rather than subtracting material in the conventional method. It is used for prototypes, end-use parts, and customised products across many industries.
How does 3D printing work?
A printer deposits or solidifies material — such as plastic, resin, or metal powder — according to design data until the full object is formed. The process allows for precise, complex geometries that traditional manufacturing can’t easily achieve.
How much does a 3D printing service cost?
Costs vary depending on size, material, and complexity. At Truform, we’re committed to keeping costs low through the provision of on-demand services, allowing you to print as much or as little as you need. This reduces waste and excess stock, whilst keeping costs low. Get in touch with us for a quote.
What is CW in 3D printing?
“CWS” or “CW” can refer to Continuous Wave Sintering. It is a laser-based additive process that uses a continuous laser beam to fuse powdered material - typically resulting in smoother surfaces.
What is the cost of 3D printing prototype service?
Prototype prices depend on size, accuracy, and material. Our agile model gives you the flexibility to print on demand. What’s more, our experienced team will support you in optimising your design and selecting the strongest materials for a better outcome.
How long does it take to 3D print something?
Print time can range from 30 minutes to several days. Small, simple parts may print in under an hour, while large or high-resolution models can take over 24 hours. When you print with Truform, we utilise our manufacturing network to print your design locally to you where possible, reducing lead times and ensuring you receive your product faster.
What is infill in 3D printing?
Infill refers to the internal structure inside a 3D printed object. It adds strength while reducing material use. Common infill patterns include grid, honeycomb, and gyroid — with densities ranging from 10% (lightweight) to 100% (solid).
What industries use 3D printing the most?
The main industries include aerospace, automotive, medical and dental, architecture, and consumer products. These sectors rely on 3D printing for prototyping, lightweight components, and customised designs.
Can you 3D print in different colours?
Yes. Multi-colour printing is possible using dual extruders, filament swaps, or full-colour binder jetting. A broad scope of post-printing options, including coating and spraying, means your options are vast. So, you can really make a product your own.
