Sketch to Part
Photograph a hand-drawn, dimensioned sketch, or upload a drawing (PDF, DXF, DWG). We read the dimensions, you
check them, and a parametric model with a firm price is ready in about a minute. Add mounting tabs, bosses or pockets from our library, then order.
Ten to a few hundred pieces of the same part, printed across the farm in one material and preset, each
piece priced with the same time-and-filament formula.
Talk to us
Design help
Not sure how to draw it, or whether it will print? Tell us what the part has to do and we will sketch it with
you, check clearances and pick the material.
How Sketch to Part works
Nothing is modelled or printed without your say-so at each step.
Upload a photo
A phone photo of your sketch with the dimensions written on it is enough. Note the material or how many you need.
Check the numbers
We show every dimension we read. Anything we had to assume is marked, contradictions are flagged, and you correct them before anything is built.
See the model, get the price
Turn the 3D model around, adjust dimensions, add standard features, pick material and print preset. The price comes from the real slicer.
We print it
After a quick check by us the part goes into the queue. Follow it under My orders from queue to "printed".
Materials and print presets
The materials we keep loaded on the farm, and four presets that trade speed, finish and strength.
Presets
Choose one on the quote form; the price follows the preset.
Pricing
Printing time by the hour, filament by the kilogram.
Price per part = printing time × hourly rate + filament weight × price per kg. Both come from slicing your
actual part in your material and preset. You see the price before you order, and it does not change afterwards.

Worked out at today's prices from what our slicer measured for these two parts, on the
Standard preset. The setup fee is once per order, however many pieces.
