3D Printing That Ships To London, Ontario.

Southwestern Ontario's centre, with medical research, a university and the farm equipment of the surrounding county. We print in New Brunswick in engineering materials (ASA, PETG, ABS, TPU) and ship in days. Quote in 24 hours, no tooling cost.

Serving London

How it works for London.

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

London 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.

London · healthcare and research

What breaks in a healthcare and research town.

London runs on healthcare and research, education and research, manufacturing. The parts that go missing in that kind of work are rarely the ones a catalogue carries: lab fixtures and sample holders, equipment mounts and stands, training and teaching 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: a sample holder for a piece of equipment nobody makes accessories for. 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 anything wiped down, with the note that we print lab and training aids, never anything implanted or patient-contact critical. 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.

London is also education and research country, which brings its own list: teaching models and manipulatives, lab and workshop fixtures, museum and display mounts. Same process, same fixed quote in 24 hours.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do you print and ship to London?

Yes. We print in New Brunswick and ship anywhere in Canada, including London, typically within three to five business days of quote approval. Expedited shipping is available on request.

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

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 lab fixtures and sample holders 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 healthcare and research work?

Yes, and it is a lot of what we do. The recurring asks in healthcare and research are lab fixtures and sample holders, equipment mounts and stands, training and teaching 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 healthcare and research part in London?

Usually PETG for anything wiped down, with the note that we print lab and training aids, never anything implanted or patient-contact critical. 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.
