What information should I provide for a 3D printing quote?

Provide your 3D file where available, required quantity, preferred material or intended application, critical dimensions, finish requirements and required delivery date.

Which 3D file formats can I send?

STEP and STL files are commonly used. If you have another CAD or mesh format, contact NS3D to discuss whether it can be reviewed or converted.

Can NS3D help if my design is not ready to print?

Yes. NS3D provides file-to-print support covering file preparation, material selection, orientation, tolerances, part strength and design optimisation.

Does NS3D accept one-off projects?

Yes. NS3D can support one-off prototypes, replacement parts, engineering models, tooling and repeat low-volume production.

QUOTE FAQ

Before You Submit

A 3D file is helpful but not essential for an initial discussion.

What information should I provide?

Include the intended use, quantity, approximate dimensions, material properties, finish, critical tolerances and required delivery date. Attach the 3D model where available.

Which file formats can I send?

STEP and STL are the most useful formats for many projects. ZIP, PDF and supporting images can also be attached. Contact us if your model uses another format.

Can you help if my design is not print-ready?

Yes. File-to-print support can cover geometry, tolerances, orientation, material selection, strength and preparation for manufacture.

Do you accept one-off projects?
