CREAT3D (www.desktop3dprinter.com) is a specialist in desktop 3D printers and 3D scanners, who work with a number of manufacturing, engineering and design companies, to streamline their business processes.

The range of desktop 3D printers available in the market today is ideal for design, modelling, fast prototyping and form, fit & function testing. Many companies have invested in a desktop 3D printer in-house to have greater control and faster turn-around of prototypes.

Instead of sending one design-finished model away for printing or tooling, which can cost anything from £3,000 to £30,000 upwards, the process now remains in-house. Multiple iterations of designs can be printed on the desktop 3D printer in a matter of hours, providing multiple examples of the part. This provides the opportunity whereby any design faults, fitting issues or aesthetic changes can then be quickly made in the design file, saving time, resources and money.

Prices for desktop 3D printers range from £1,400 to £3,600 (ex VAT), with a printed model costing anything from a few pence to no more than £20, due to the low cost of the print material.

CREAT3D’s range of desktop 3D printers and 3D scanners offer varying specifications on build size, colour capability, support material options, print speed and resolution. CREAT3D has a team of experts with in-depth product knowledge gained through using the printers and equipment on a daily basis, allowing them to offer customers honest and accurate buying advice in comparing and contrasting the benefits of the different 3D printers to match their specific needs. A variety of training packages are available and there is technical support by phone and email 6 days a week, as well as the provision of handy guides and hints & tips for getting the most out of the printers in daily use.

CREAT3D offers a free consultation service whereby you can send in an example 3D design file along with your outline requirements and the team will review and advise if it is suitable for 3D printing and while 3D printer would be most appropriate.
