3D printing for London Borough of Wandsworth's construction and food and drink sectors
A south-west London borough on the Thames that includes the redeveloped Battersea Power Station, the Nine Elms district and New Covent Garden Market. Engineers and makers working in construction and food and drink often need a part in days, not weeks, which is where printing on demand helps. Parts are delivered to addresses in London Borough of Wandsworth as well as nearby London.
SLA resin and FDM are both useful for scale models; nylon is better for functional spacers and templates. For parts near food lines, discuss material suitability first; nylon is often used for guides and change parts. If you are unsure, compare FDM, SLA, SLS and MJF side by side in the instant quote before ordering.
Send STEP files when you can, as they keep exact geometry. Add notes for critical dimensions or surfaces that will be visible. Lead time and shipping cost to London Borough of Wandsworth are shown in the instant quote.

FAQ
Which 3D printing process suits construction parts?
SLA resin and FDM are both useful for scale models; nylon is better for functional spacers and templates.
Can 3D printing replace a part that is no longer available?
Often, yes. If the part can be modelled in CAD, it can be printed. Order one piece to check the fit first.
Which file formats can I upload?
STL, STEP and 3MF work well. STEP keeps exact geometry, which helps if you later move to machining or moulding.
