The first thing owners ask is whether we can really match the original. These are the answer. Real jobs, click in for the full story as we write them up.
REMADEThe interior clips had perished and Maserati don't list them any more. We took one good original, rebuilt the shape, and reprinted the set in matched black nylon.

AFTERChrome cap pitted and cracked past saving, none left to buy. We reproduced it in matte-black plastic, print lines and all, ready to run as-is or paint.

AFTERShattered across the front and no longer supplied. We rebuilt the whole thing from the broken original and printed it as one clean part.
The original in the post is best, because we can 3D scan it and copy it exactly. A clear photo or a rough sketch gets us started too, and if you already have the file, even quicker.
Post it, one piece or several. We 3D scan it, copy it exactly, and send your original back tracked.
Stand it next to a ruler, shoot it straight on in daylight, send it over. Plenty for most trim and clips.
Pencil the shape and the key sizes in mm. We turn it into a proper model.
Got the file? Straight to a quote, and we'll usually come in under the dealer. STEP, STL, IGES.
Sometimes you can still track one down. Owners come to us anyway, and it is nearly always one of these.
The plastic bits get dropped from the catalogue first, especially on older and classic models.
A tenner's worth of plastic clip, quoted like a service item. If they'll sell it on its own at all.
They'll only sell the complete dashboard to get you the one broken clip. We just make the clip.
Reinforced so it stops snapping in the same spot, or modified to suit the build.
Interior, exterior and under the bonnet all want different plastic. Tell us where the part sits and what it does, and we pick the material. No jargon.
UV-stable and paintable, behaves like factory car plastic. Wheel caps, exterior trim, badges.
Tough and springy. The workhorse for trim clips and fittings that flex and take a knock.
Carbon-fibre nylon. Stiff and dimensionally stable for brackets and mounts that hold their shape.
Lower cost for cosmetic interior parts where the budget matters more than heat.
Our Formlabs resin printer for badges, emblems and small parts with crisp detail.
A simple clip or bracket starts around £80. Bigger or fiddlier parts cost more, quoted from a photo. Hand us the CAD or STEP file and it usually comes in under the dealer, when the dealer will even sell it on its own.
Every part we model, we keep the CAD. Snap it again, or want a run of spares for the owners' club, send the reference and we reprint it. Same fit, same finish, none of the design cost the second time.
Post the original and we 3D scan it, or send a photo. The real part in our hands tells us the most.
We pick the material for where it sits, rebuild it in CAD and shore up the weak spot, then send it back for your OK.
Printed in the chosen material and colour-matched, ready to paint if you want it spot-on.
Tracked to you, your original returned, the file kept for next time.
Posted to us, returned to you tracked. Your only one stays yours.
The design comes back for approval before a single part prints.
Photo in, and we'll tell you if we can do it, the price, and the timeline.
Reorders and club spares are one email, not a fresh job.
You'll deal with a real engineer, not a call centre or an auto-reply.
