How it works for Dublin.

Most of what gets asked for around Dublin is a part that no longer exists: a bracket that snapped, a fitting nobody stocks, a component the manufacturer discontinued a decade ago. In technology and startups that is a weekly occurrence rather than an unusual event. Send a photo and one measurement, and that is enough to start.

Dublin has machine shops, and for a production run you should use them. Where we fit is the other job: the one-off, the obsolete part, the thing that needs designing before it can be made, where setting up a shop for a single piece makes no sense.

We design as well as print, which matters when the original is broken beyond measuring or gone entirely. Parts are modelled in FORMA, our own parametric CAD engine, so the geometry is exact and repeatable rather than a scan cleaned up by hand. Design is included in the quoted price, and you get a fixed price back within a day, read and answered by a person.

Dublin · technology and startups

What breaks in a technology and startups town.

Dublin runs on technology and startups, healthcare and research, finance and professional services. The parts that go missing in that kind of work are rarely the ones a catalogue carries: enclosures for boards and prototypes, test rigs and bench fixtures, demo and trade-show models. They are cheap parts that stop expensive things, and they are exactly what a printer is for.

A worked example of the kind of job: an enclosure iterated three times in a week because the board changed twice. There is no tooling cost and no minimum, so a single replacement is a normal order rather than a favour.

Material matters more here than most places. We would argue for PETG for functional prototypes, PLA for looks-like models, nylon where a hinge has to survive a demo circuit. The choice is named and explained in the quote rather than left as "plastic", because the wrong material is the single most common reason a printed part fails in service.

Dublin is also healthcare and research country, which brings its own list: lab fixtures and sample holders, equipment mounts and stands, training and teaching models. Same process, same fixed quote in 24 hours.

Getting it there

Working with Dublin from Canada.

We are in New Brunswick, Canada, so let us be straight about distance: shipping a printed bracket to Dublin makes sense for a discontinued, bespoke or unobtainable part, and makes no sense for something you can buy down the road. Where shipping does not make sense, the offer is the design: we model the part to your measurements and send you manufacturable files, STEP, STL and 3MF, to print or machine locally. Software, websites and AI work carry no distance penalty at all.

Every quote is a fixed price with the material, the print time and the shipping itemised before you approve anything. No account, no minimum, and a person reads your message.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do you print and ship to Dublin?

Yes, with a caveat worth stating. We print in Canada and ship worldwide, so for a discontinued or bespoke part that nobody near Dublin can supply, shipping makes sense. For something available locally it does not, and we will say so. In that case we design the part and send you manufacturable files to print or machine where you are.

How much does a custom 3D printed part cost in Dublin?

Pricing is open and per-gram: PLA from $0.12/g, PETG from $0.20/g, TPU from $0.25/g, ABS from $0.25/g, ASA from $0.30/g. For scale, something like enclosures for boards and prototypes is usually tens of dollars in material and machine time, not hundreds. Every quote itemises material, machine time and shipping, and one-offs land well under a machine-shop minimum.

What information do you need to quote a part?

A phone photo of the part (or where it should go) and one rough measurement. A tape measure and a clear photo are enough to start. We reply with a fixed-price quote within 24 hours.

Can you design the part, not just print it?

Yes. Rebuilding broken or discontinued parts from photos is most of our work. We use FORMA, our parametric CAD engine, to generate manufacturable geometry sized to your measurements. Design is included in the quoted price.

Is there a minimum order?

There is no minimum unit count, we print a single part as readily as a run of fifty.

Can you make parts for technology and startups work?

Yes, and it is a lot of what we do. The recurring asks in technology and startups are enclosures for boards and prototypes, test rigs and bench fixtures, demo and trade-show models. Send a photo of the broken part and one measurement. If the original is gone entirely, we can work from the space it has to fit.

Which material would you use for a technology and startups part in Dublin?

Usually PETG for functional prototypes, PLA for looks-like models, nylon where a hinge has to survive a demo circuit. We name the material in the quote and say why, because choosing it by price rather than by service conditions is the most common reason a printed part fails.
