01
Custom one-off parts
Components developed around a specific vehicle, space or workshop requirement.
Automotive 3D printing
From idea to road-ready part.
Custom parts, prototypes and practical workshop solutions developed around your vehicle and the job they need to do.
Purpose ledDesigned around the application.
Clear project reviewScope checked before production.
Workshop supportFitment considered from the start.
Capabilities
What we can help create.
Every enquiry starts with the part, its environment and the result you need. We review suitability before recommending the next step.
02
Prototypes & test-fit pieces
Physical prototypes used to check proportion, packaging and fit before refinement.
03
Trim & replacement components
A route for suitable interior, exterior and hard-to-source non-critical parts.
04
Mounts & workshop solutions
Practical brackets, housings and tools developed for a defined task.
Automotive applications
Parts shaped around the project.
From a first fit-check to a finished one-off component, the process adapts to the vehicle and intended use.
01 / Bespoke
One-off vehicle parts
Custom components for individual builds, packaging constraints and specific workshop requirements.
02 / Development
Prototype before committing
Use a physical part to review fit, proportion and access before the final specification is agreed.
03 / Replacement
Hard-to-source components
Where appropriate, existing pieces can provide the reference for a carefully reviewed replacement.
04 / Workshop
Tools, mounts and housings
Functional solutions designed to organise, support or package another component.
The process
A clear route from brief to part.
We keep the stages visible, confirm the scope and refine the component before final handover.
Brief
Tell us what the part must do, where it sits and how the vehicle is used.
Review
We assess the application, references, access, loads and environment.
Prepare
The part is planned and prepared for a suitable prototype or production route.
The component is produced to the agreed specification and checked as it progresses.
Refine
Fit, finish and next steps are reviewed before handover or installation.
Built for its environment
The right approach for the part.
Material and production choices depend on heat, load, exposure, finish and how the component will be used. We review those requirements before work begins.
- Application and operating environment reviewed
- Prototype and test-fit stages available where appropriate
- Finish and assembly requirements considered early

Before you enquire
Common questions.
If your project is unusual, send the details anyway. Suitability is checked before any work is agreed.
Can you work from an existing part?
Often, yes. Send photographs and the details of the application first. We will confirm what references or measurements are needed after reviewing the project.
Do I need a CAD file?
Not always. Existing files are useful, but a clear brief, photographs and measurements can be enough to begin the conversation.
Can every automotive part be 3D printed?
No. Suitability depends on the function, safety requirements, load, heat, exposure and finish. We review the intended use before accepting a project.
Can you make a single part?
Yes, suitable one-off projects are welcome. Send the vehicle and part details through the enquiry form for review.
Can the part be test-fitted at the workshop?
Workshop involvement depends on the project. Tell us whether the vehicle can come to Colnbrook and we will include fitment in the project discussion where appropriate.
Start a project
Tell us what the part needs to do.
Share the vehicle, the problem and any references you already have. We will review the brief and come back with the best next step.
Have photos, measurements or CAD files? Add a share link in the form. We can request further files after reviewing the enquiry.
