From the workshop

Workshop projects and precision parts.

Anatomical models and small technical parts, printed in our workshop.

Surgical planning

Bone and soft tissue, in one model

A physical view of the structures hidden beneath the surface.

A rigid anatomical core and a removable silicone cover bring bone and surface anatomy into one handling model. The layers can be separated for explanation and brought together to compare their spatial relationship. For a similar brief, tell us which structures need to remain visible and which surfaces need to feel soft.

Teaching & demonstration

A heart with a removable front section

A sectioned heart makes internal structures easier to discuss.

A removable front section exposes the chambers and valve structures; a separate cradle keeps the heart upright for a tabletop demonstration. The design keeps the outer shape available as a reference while the interior is discussed. For teaching models, the cut position and stand are part of the brief.

Moulds & silicone

A silicone valve and its printed mould

Printed tooling and cast silicone, shown side by side.

Printed tooling gives the silicone valve its shape; the flexible cast can then be removed and trimmed. This pairs a rigid manufacturing tool with a soft finished part. For a similar insert, the useful starting points are its mating frame, the motion it needs to allow and how often it will be replaced.

Biomedical research

Porous scaffold samples

Porous samples that make material and geometry visible.

A disc, tile and block make the relationship between wall thickness and interconnected open space tangible. The samples show the geometry at both handling and close-up scale. For a research brief, specify the dimensions, pore geometry and material requirements; appearance alone does not establish biological performance.

Small parts

Fine features at fingertip scale

Fine-feature printing at 20 µm resolution, shown on an open-frame bracket and a tiny toothed jaw.

These samples show an open-frame bracket and a tiny toothed micro-jaw. We work at 20 µm print resolution for small, detailed components. Send the smallest required feature, mating geometry and target tolerances so we can assess the process and agree the checks for your part. Print resolution and the finished part’s dimensional accuracy are different specifications.

Training hardware

A mitral valve big enough to teach on

An enlarged silicone mitral valve, open from above and from below.

The enlarged silicone valve sits in an open printed frame. It can be viewed from above, and the flexible leaflets can be reached from below for a hands-on demonstration. For a trainer brief, tell us the procedure, viewing setup and access your instruments need.

Transparent printing

A femur in clear resin

A femur model in glass-clear resin, with a faint blue tint.

Clear resin and surface finishing make the femur translucent through both the shaft and its thicker ends. The hand view shows the finished clarity rather than a rendering. For a transparent model, tell us what needs to be seen through the surface: thickness, access for finishing and viewing angle all affect the result.
