A broken plastic part is the most common reason a perfectly working appliance gets thrown out: a washing machine knob, a vacuum bracket, a furniture hinge, a housing clip. Usually a few euros' worth of moulding that simply isn't sold any more. That is exactly how this company started.
What you can order
- Scanning a broken part and printing it again
- Modelling a missing part from a matching example
- Small-batch reproduction for older machinery
- A fast replacement for a stopped production line
- Missing parts for antique furniture and restoration work
- Strengthening a part: same shape, better material
If the part is broken
A broken part can still be scanned as long as the pieces exist: the model is assembled and the missing section rebuilt. If only one half of a symmetrical part survives, the other can be mirrored. If it has vanished entirely, I need dimensions from wherever it goes.
Material choice
The original was often made from the cheapest plastic available, because the maker was designing for the warranty period rather than for eternity. A reproduction can use a stronger or more heat-resistant material, so the new part outlasts the one that failed.
When I say no
If the part carries a heavy load, spins fast or gets hot, printed plastic may not be the right answer. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. When it isn't, I say so, even when that means there's no order.
Send a photo of the part with a tape measure or a coin beside it.
