3d printing design in Barnes

Turning an idea into a printable 3D model often means dealing with CAD software, file formats, and printability — thickness, orientation, supports — which can be daunting if you’re new to it. In Barnes we work with families and hobbyists who want custom pieces: toys, replacement parts, or one-off projects. We design or refine models, prepare the files for your printer, and show you enough of the process so you can do more yourself if you like. We use standard CAD tools to create or adjust models, then export and prepare files with the right orientation and supports so they print reliably. We’ll flag any issues (e.g. walls too thin, overhangs) and suggest changes. You can come to us with a rough brief or sketches; we’ll turn that into something ready for the printer. Training on the software and workflow is part of the service, so you’re not dependent on us for every future project. We can work onsite in Barnes (we’re about 15–30 minutes from Putney) or remotely. If you already have a design file, send it over and we can check printability and suggest optimisations. Whether it’s a one-off or you’re building skills for the long term, we keep the process clear and practical.
