3D Printing

Overview

When standard parts aren’t available, won’t fit, or take too long to source, industrial 3D printing provides a fast and cost-effective alternative. Deftec’s 3D printing capability produces custom components, brackets, enclosures, and prototypes for industrial applications — often in days rather than weeks.

What we deliver

Custom industrial components

We design and print custom components for industrial applications — from mounting brackets and cable management solutions to custom enclosures, gaskets, and replacement parts. If a part is no longer available or needs modification, 3D printing is often the fastest and most cost-effective solution.

Rapid prototyping

Before committing to tooling or fabrication, 3D printing allows designs to be tested and refined quickly and cheaply. We support the development of new products and custom solutions with rapid prototyping services that accelerate the design process.

Replacement and obsolete parts

Equipment downtime waiting for parts is costly. For obsolete or long-lead-time components, we can reverse-engineer and print replacement parts that get your equipment back in service quickly. Parts can be produced in a range of materials suited to the operating environment.

Material selection

We work with a range of engineering-grade materials appropriate for industrial environments, including:

• PLA/PETG — General purpose, cost-effective
• ABS/ASA — UV and chemical resistant, suitable for outdoor use
• Nylon/PA12 — High strength, flexible, wear-resistant
• TPU — Flexible, impact-resistant
• Carbon fibre reinforced — High strength-to-weight ratio

Design for manufacture

Our team assists with designing parts optimised for 3D printing — minimising material use, maximising strength, and ensuring dimensional accuracy for your application.
