Need a one-off component, a replacement that is no longer available, or a bespoke part for a new idea? Dextri manufactures custom FDM parts for customers across the UK, with practical advice on material, strength, fit, and finish.
Custom 3D printing is useful when a standard component does not exist, is no longer manufactured, or does not quite fit your application. It allows a part to be produced directly from a digital model without the tooling cost associated with injection moulding or machining.
We can print customer-supplied designs as one-offs or in small quantities. Before quoting, we consider how the part will be loaded, whether it will be used indoors or outdoors, exposure to heat or chemicals, and any important mating dimensions. This helps us recommend a sensible material and print orientation.
If the design is still being refined, start with a prototype. You can check fit and function, make a revision, and then order the quantity you need once the design is proven.
Practical components for products, equipment, workshops, repairs, and personal projects.
Obsolete clips, knobs, covers, guides, spacers, and non-safety-critical components that are difficult to source.
Purpose-made mounts, interfaces, supports, and fittings designed around the dimensions of your equipment.
Custom housings, electronics enclosures, guards, cable-management parts, and protective covers.
Jigs, locating tools, drill guides, holders, organisers, and fixtures that make repeat tasks easier.
Low-volume parts for specialist products, test units, upgrades, and customer-specific configurations.
Bespoke pieces for makers, hobbyists, home projects, models, and ideas that need a physical form.
A clear description of the application helps us quote the right solution.
Upload an STL, STEP, 3MF, or OBJ file. Include the quantity, colour preference, and any dimensions or tolerances that matter.
Tell us about loads, movement, temperature, outdoor exposure, chemicals, surface finish, and the components it must fit.
We will review printability and suggest a suitable material or practical adjustment where necessary.
Once the specification, price, and lead time are agreed, we manufacture the part and dispatch it from the UK.
The best choice depends on the environment and the job the component must perform.
Good for visual parts, prototypes, organisers, and lighter indoor use where heat resistance is not important.
A dependable choice for many brackets, housings, clips, and general-purpose functional components.
Suitable for flexible feet, bumpers, protective pieces, grips, seals, and vibration-damping parts.
Useful for tougher parts, with ASA preferred where long-term outdoor and UV resistance are required.
A premium option for demanding components requiring greater impact and temperature performance.
Describe the application in your quote request and we will recommend an appropriate starting point.
Yes. There is no requirement to order a large quantity, and one-off parts are a common use of 3D printing.
We need a printable 3D model. If you only have a physical part, contact us with photographs and dimensions so we can discuss what information is required.
That depends on the original material, geometry, loading, print orientation, and intended use. We will give practical guidance, but 3D printed parts should not be assumed suitable for safety-critical applications.
Yes. Repeat orders can be produced from the agreed digital file, subject to confirming any material or design changes.
Upload your file and explain what the component needs to do. We will review it and provide a clear quote.
