3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping in the UK

At IPF we have invested in the latest 3d printing technology to bring you revolutionary Rapid Prototyping Services. This unique service is offered to produce model prototypes formed from multiple materials, with different mechanical or physical properties, all in a single build.

The equipment we offer for use includes the Objet Connex500, a multi material printer; the Objet Eden 350V; and, the EnvisionTec Perfactory, an ultra high definition machine. This range of rapid prototyping solutions means that we can offer the appropriate technology for your modelling needs.

A selection of 3D printed parts and models from our range of 3D Printers including the Objet Connex500 and Eden350v.
