SPACER WEAR PLATE
Steel wear plates and spacers used on agricultural machinery can cause excessive wear, corrosion and unnecessary weight. This custom PA6-GF (glass fibre reinforced nylon) spacer wear plate provides excellent wear resistance, reduces friction, eliminates corrosion and protects expensive farm equipment from premature damage while extending service life.

ROOFING TRIM SPACER
Traditional roofing trim spacers can be difficult to source in the correct size, leading to inconsistent spacing, poor alignment and longer installation times. This custom 3D printed spacer ensures accurate, repeatable positioning of roofing trims, improving the finished appearance while speeding up installation and reducing fitting errors.

TINY FLOWER POTS
Small plant pots can be expensive to source in custom sizes, and standard designs often don't suit promotional, decorative or indoor planting applications. These custom 3D printed flower pots provide a cost-effective, fully customisable solution that can be produced in any size, shape or colour with rapid turnaround.

CONVEYOR GUIDES
Many production lines use standard conveyor guides that wear quickly, allow products to move out of position, or are unavailable for unique product sizes. These custom 3D printed conveyor guides provide precise product alignment, reduce jams and misfeeds, minimise product damage, and can be rapidly manufactured and replaced without the cost or lead time of traditional machined components.

LENS TRAY PAPERWORK INSERTS
Lens manufacturing trays often need paperwork, labels or job cards kept with the correct batch, but loose documents can get lost, damaged or mixed up during production. These custom tray inserts securely hold the paperwork in place, helping operators identify jobs quickly, reduce mistakes, and keep each tray organised throughout the manufacturing process.

VINTAGE MOTORBIKE ENGINE COVER
Original vintage motorbike engine covers are often cracked, corroded, discontinued or impossible to source. Using 3D scanning and additive manufacturing, a replacement can be accurately reproduced for prototyping, restoration or pattern making, reducing downtime and preserving classic motorcycles.

CNC Soft Jaws
Standard metal vice jaws can mark, deform or fail to securely grip aluminium components, especially parts with complex shapes or finished surfaces. These custom 3D printed jaws provide a precise, part-specific fit that prevents movement during machining, protects the aluminium from damage, reduces setup time, and improves machining accuracy while lowering tooling and fixture costs.

OVEN TRAY TAGS
Nylon oven tray tags solve a common problem in lens manufacturing by making production trays instantly identifiable throughout the manufacturing process, even when exposed to high oven temperatures. Traditional paper labels, adhesive stickers and marker pen markings can fade, peel off, become illegible or contaminate the process, leading to confusion, delays and costly mistakes.
