Print-ready file
Best value when the model is already ready to print.
Need a small plastic part, hobby piece, prototype or something printed from a file? Tom's IT can help with practical 3D printing jobs for local customers and businesses.

Every job is assessed individually. If a part isn't suitable for 3D printing, I'll tell you rather than forcing the wrong process.
Send an STL, 3MF or other suitable 3D model and I'll assess printability, material and likely cost.
Clips, covers, knobs, brackets and other small parts where a printable replacement may be practical.
Useful for model railways, toys, miniatures, workshop projects and unusual replacement pieces.
Physical prototypes to check form, fit and function before moving on to a final design or larger run.
Low-volume runs where traditional manufacturing would be overkill.
Easy local communication for parts that need checking, measuring or discussing in person.
A 3D file is ideal, but a photo, measurements or the broken part itself can still be enough to assess whether the job is realistic.
3D printing cost depends heavily on size, print time, material, quantity and whether design work is required. A quick file review or photo is usually the best starting point.
Best value when the model is already ready to print.
Send photos and dimensions so I can tell you whether 3D printing is realistic.
For prototypes, repeated parts and low-volume production.
Send a file, photo or rough description and I'll tell you what the next step is.
