Rapid prototyping — from idea to part in your hand
If you are developing a product, a bracket or a mechanism, waiting weeks for a prototype kills momentum. 3D Factory turns ideas and CAD files into physical parts you can test, usually within 2–5 working days, so you can iterate quickly and cheaply.
What a printed prototype is good for
- Fit and assembly checks before committing to tooling or production
- Ergonomics — does the handle, knob or housing feel right?
- Functional testing of brackets, clips, gears and enclosures
- Mock-ups for presentations, pitches and market feedback
- Jigs and fixtures for your own workshop or production line
No CAD file yet?
Send an STL or OBJ file if you have one. If you don't, our designers can turn a sketch, a photo or a set of measurements into a print-ready CAD model.
Many prototype jobs arrive as a rough sketch or a verbal idea. We model it, send you a preview to approve, and only then print — so you stay in control of the design.
Materials and precision
We print in PLA and PETG across a wide range of colours, with layer precision down to 0.1 mm.
How it works
- 1. Tell us what you need — attach a file or just describe the part.
- 2. We reply with a free fixed quote within 24 hours, including material and finish options.
- 3. You approve, we print, and you collect in Javea or we deliver.
Iterating quickly
Most jobs are finished in 2–5 working days, and every enquiry gets a free quote within 24 hours.
Because we are local, version two is a short conversation away. Tell us what failed or what you want changed and we adjust the model and reprint.
Frequently asked questions
- How fast can I get a prototype?
- Most prototypes are ready in 2–5 working days after you approve the quote. Small urgent parts can often be faster — say so in your enquiry.
- Can you keep my design confidential?
- Yes. Your files and drawings are used only to produce your parts and are never shared or reused.
- Can you make changes between versions?
- That is the point of the service. Send feedback on version one and we adjust the model — resizing, reinforcing or moving features is routine.
- Will a PLA or PETG prototype be strong enough to test?
- For fit, ergonomics and most mechanical checks, yes. We will recommend the material and infill based on what the test involves.
