How much does 3D printing cost?

3D printing costs start from £5 for FDM parts. SLA resin parts price from £3.60 per part when parts are printed together on one build plate, or from around £12 for a single part alone. Pricing depends on material, size, infill and layer height. Use our free instant quote tool to get accurate pricing in seconds — no signup required.

What 3D printing services do you offer?

We offer FDM and SLA 3D printing, rapid prototyping, 3D scanning, reverse engineering, scan-to-CAD services, custom manufacturing and CAD design. Materials include PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU, carbon fibre composites and SLA resins.

Bicester3D is based in Bicester, Oxfordshire. We offer free local collection, same-day delivery across Oxfordshire (including Oxford, Banbury, Kidlington and Witney), and UK-wide shipping via Royal Mail.

Reverse-engineering a ribber dial for a 100-year-old circular sewing machineA working ribber dial for a 100-year-old circular sock-knitting machine. No drawings, no spares — just measurements taken from the original parts and SLA prints at the tolerances the mechanism actually needed.

A translucent book-shaped LED lamp for a short shelfA semi-transparent, hollow 3D-printed lamp shaped like a row of books — short enough to fit a specific short shelf, hollow inside to house an LED strip, translucent enough for the warm glow to read through. A custom commission with no off-the-shelf equivalent, refined collaboratively until it hit Julianne's brief.

From photogrammetry to silicone bust, 8-part PLA mould tooling for an A-level art projectAn A-level art student in the Midlands wanted to cast a full silicone portrait of her mother. We took the photogrammetry-derived mesh and printed the mould tooling in PLA, split across 8 parts so the geometry could be assembled, cast and demoulded cleanly. The student finished and painted the cast bust as her final coursework submission.
