Your Trusted Partner for 3D Printing Solutions
Midlands 3D has rapidly evolved since its founding in 2018, establishing itself as a leading UK provider of comprehensive 3D printing solutions. Our journey began in a small garage with a single FDM machine and has grown into a state-of-the-art operation offering prototyping, batch production, and advanced finishing services. We specialise in delivering high-quality, scalable additive manufacturing across diverse sectors including automotive, defence, healthcare, and consumer products. Our commitment to innovation is underscored by our ISO 9001 certification, HP Multi Jet Fusion Professional certification, and JOSCAR registration. We operate with full transparency, owning and managing all technologies in-house to protect client IP while maintaining strict quality controls.Our team combines technical expertise with a client-centric approach, ensuring tailored support from initial design to final delivery. By investing in cutting-edge technologies like MJF, SLS, and SLA, we provide efficient, sustainable solutions that meet evolving industry demands. Our partnerships with global brands and government defence initiatives reflect our reputation for reliability and excellence. With a new headquarters offering quadruple the operational space, we continue to expand our capabilities while maintaining a focus on confidentiality, ethical practices, and environmental responsibility through our Ecologi membership.

Services
3D Prototyping
Our 3D prototyping service enables rapid creation of precise, functional models using MJF, SLS, and SLA technologies. Ideal for testing designs before scaling to production, this service supports both single prototypes and small batches. Clients benefit from fast turnaround times and material flexibility, including nylon, TPU, and resin options.
Batch Manufacturing
Specialising in scalable additive manufacturing, we produce hundreds of parts weekly for European production lines. Our MJF and SLS technologies enable cost-effective, tool-free batch production with consistent quality. This service eliminates upfront setup costs while maintaining precision for end-use components across industries.
3D Scanning
Our 3D scanning service captures precise geometries of physical objects for digital replication or reverse engineering. Using advanced scanning technology, we create accurate CAD models for on-demand manufacturing. This solution supports legacy part reproduction and digital warehouse creation for extended product lifecycles.
Part Finishing
Enhance printed parts with our finishing services including vapour smoothing, poly shot surfacing, and deep dye colouring. These processes improve aesthetics, durability, and functionality by eliminating layer lines and achieving professional surface finishes. Available for MJF and SLS-printed components in both standard and custom specifications.
Additional Services
We offer threaded inserts, painting, QA inspection, and assembly services to complement 3D printed parts. Our PPAP-certified inspection ensures compliance, while custom painting and hydro-dipping provide aesthetic enhancements. Assembly and packaging services streamline supply chain operations for manufacturers and distributors.
