3D Printing Service in Essex

The media and press will have you believe that 3D Printing is a new technology. However, it’s been around for 30 years, invented by 3D System’s Chuck Hull. CRDM have been printing for almost 20 years in Essex, making us recognised experts in this field. We cover the whole of the UK, we also provide a fast 24 hour turnaround service in Essex.

3D printing offers an alternative way of prototyping and low volume manufacturing; the key benefits are making parts quicker than traditional methods of manufacturing, thereby shortening the design cycle as well as possibility reducing costs.

Examples of Sectors that use 3D Printing technology

  • automotive & auto sport
  • medical
  • aerospace
  • architects
  • designers
  • inventors
  • 3D printing can be used in most industries that require tangible objects / tools

There are four ways that we can carry out 3D printing…

Before we can print parts, we need to have 3D CAD. The main format is an STL file and this is the universal language that 3D printers read. STL files are simply sliced into layers and 3D printing will print each slice of the CAD, layer by layer, to make a complete part or component.

CRDM focus on the professional and production aspect of manufacture, running machines that only a few companies in the UK that have the skills and resources to operate.

If you have a specific requirement and you are based in Essex we would be more than happy to help you!
