It started with a single printer
One 3D printer on a workbench. By the end of the year we had our first paying client, and had already jumped from consumer prints to B2B work, including large-scale exhibition builds for Hasbro and an F1 experience.
3D Printing Express began in 2023 with one printer. This is the journey since: the workshops, the breakthroughs, and the brands we have made parts for along the way.
3D Printing Express Limited is a UK 3D printing company, trading since 2023, with two workshops: Broadstone (Bournemouth and Poole) and Newbury. 3D Printing Express was named Best 3D Printing in Bournemouth in 2024 and 2025 by the Quality Business Awards.
Every stage started the same way it does for you: a brief, a part, a problem to solve. Here is how one printer grew into a UK 3D printing company with two workshops.

We moved into a proper workshop room. This was the year of our first 1,000-unit order, the start of designing directly with brands, and our first marine build: a custom, saltwater-grade body kit for The Jet Ski Life.
We moved into a bigger unit. 3D Printing Express Limited was formally incorporated. We took on turnkey production for Pebbl Innovations, 200 branded safety caps for Whale Tankers, and branded trade-show giveaways for DURABLE (UK).
We moved into the business centre at Broadstone. We printed fleet components for Beryl Bikes, and a robotic arm of over 100 parts that we helped print won an award at Bournemouth University's Festival of Design and Engineering.
Today we run two UK workshops, hold 25+ engineering materials, and have shipped 11,183 parts this year at a 4.9-star Google rating. From a single prototype to a full production run, designed, printed and finished in-house. Still improving with every job, and every brief is still the start of the next chapter.
