LOCAL DELIVERY & COLLECTION
Didcot is 24 miles from our Bicester workshop via the A34 — under an hour by road. Standard free tracked delivery covers every OX11 postcode, including Harwell Campus and Milton Park, plus the surrounding villages and the Abingdon edge. Same-day or rush turnaround is available on request — contact the workshop in advance to arrange.
Free collection from our Bicester workshop is available for larger orders. For volume work or research-team prototyping sprints, we'll arrange a Didcot meet-up at a convenient point — Didcot Parkway station, Harwell main gate, or Milton Park reception.
Every print ships with a material data sheet and a dimensional inspection record. FDM: ±0.2mm verified. SLA: 0.05mm layer detail.

SCIENCE, RESEARCH & DATA-CENTRE SUPPORT
Didcot is the gateway to one of Europe's densest science clusters — Harwell Campus (Diamond Light Source, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, ISIS Neutron Source, Culham), Milton Park's technology and data businesses, and a fast-growing space and aerospace SME base. We regularly deliver for:
custom sample holders, beamline fixtures and vacuum-chamber adapters for Diamond Light Source, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, ISIS Neutron Source and the Culham fusion programme. Materials matched to lab requirements — PETG and PC for stiffness, no PLA in temp-controlled or beam-line areas.
server rack accessories, IT enclosures, custom cable management and bespoke fixtures for the data-infrastructure cluster. Tough, dimensionally stable materials for rack-room and machine-room use.
the Harwell Space Cluster runs on rapid iteration — prototype satellite components, ground-equipment fixtures, payload mockups and one-off jigs for assembly and test.
rapid iteration on R&D prototypes, CAD-to-print services, and visual demo builds for client pitches. Same-week turnaround for early-stage design work.
