Professional 3D Printing for Prototyping & Production
From a single prototype to 1,000 production parts.
No minimums, no tooling costs, no compromises on quality.
Why 3D On Demand?
For Prototyping: Test, iterate, and perfect your designs without waiting weeks for tooling. Our rapid prototyping gets functional parts in your hands in as little as 24 hours, so you can validate concepts and make design decisions fast.
For Production: Bridge the gap between prototype and injection moulding. Scale from 10 to 10,000 parts with consistent quality, perfect for market testing, limited runs, and production bridging.
For Engineering Teams: Get expert DFM advice, our engineers help optimise your designs for 3D printing, ensuring the best quality at the lowest cost.

Why FDM Technology?
Here at 3D On Demand, we utilise the latest, FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) hardware and processes to produce production quality plastic parts and prototypes in a wide range of sustainable, commodity and engineering polymers.
The key advantages of FDM additive manufacturing are:
Superior Material Properties
– True thermoplastic materials (not powders or resins)
– Same polymers used in injection moulding
– Predictable mechanical properties and certifications
Excellent Surface Quality
– Smooth finishes straight from the printer
– No powder residue or uncured resin
– Optional post-processing to injection-moulding appearance
Larger Part Capabilities
– Build volumes up to 400mm³
– No size restrictions from powder bed limitations
– Ideal for automotive and aerospace components
Production-Ready Strength
– Layer adhesion creates strong, functional parts
– Anisotropic properties similar to injection moulding
– Perfect for end-use applications and tooling
Cost-Effective for Your Applications
– Minimal material waste vs powder-based systems
– No expensive powder handling or refresh costs
– Lower per-part costs for your production volumes
While SLS and MJF excel for complex geometries and fine details, FDM delivers the material properties, surface quality, and cost-effectiveness that our prototyping and production customers need most.
