Design & Modelling Service

 

Our Design & Modelling Service is ideal for customers who need accurate, functional and professionally‑engineered 3D models. Whether you’re developing a new product, replacing a broken part, or need a custom component designed from scratch, we create clean, precise CAD models ready for 3D printing or manufacturing.

We specialise in parametric modelling — structured, accurate and fully editable designs built with engineering logic, not free‑form sculpting.

 

 

What We Offer

We create high‑quality 3D models for:

  • replacement parts

  • brackets, mounts and fittings

  • mechanical components

  • prototypes and product concepts

  • enclosures and housings

  • custom functional parts

  • assemblies and multi‑part designs

If you have an idea, sketch, broken part or measurement, we can turn it into a professional CAD model.

 
 

Designs for Any 3D Printing Method

Our CAD models are not limited to FDM printing. We design parts for all forms of manufacturing

  • FDM

  • Resin (SLA / MSLA)

  • SLS (nylon powder)

  • MJF

  • Industrial-grade materials

  • Metal 3D printing

  • CNC machining

  • Injection moulding (concept to full product)

Even if we cannot test a part in an industrial material ourselves, the model we create will still be suitable for professional printing services. Many customers come to us for the design work, then take the file to an industrial bureau for final production.

This approach is often far cheaper than paying an industrial company to do both the design and the printing.

 

Parametric Modelling (Our Speciality)

 

Parametric modelling is the industry standard for engineering‑grade design. It allows us to:

  • build models with precise dimensions

  • apply constraints and tolerances

  • make fast adjustments when needed

  • ensure parts fit together correctly

  • create designs suitable for real‑world use

This approach is ideal for customers who need accuracy, repeatability and reliability.

We do not offer free‑form sculpting or artistic modelling — our focus is on functional, mechanical and practical design.

How the Process Works

 

1. Send us your idea

You can provide:

  • sketches

  • photos

  • measurements

  • an existing part

  • a rough concept

 

 

 

2. We create the CAD model

 

Using professional parametric CAD software, we build a clean, accurate model based on your requirements.

 

3. Review & adjustments

We send previews or renders so you can confirm the design before printing.

Turnaround Time

Most modelling jobs are completed within:

  • 1–3 days for simple parts

  • Same‑day for urgent small components (when possible)

  • Longer for complex assemblies or multi‑part designs

We’ll confirm the timeframe once we’ve seen your idea.

Pricing

Pricing depends on:

  • complexity

  • size

  • number of parts

  • level of detail

  • time required

Send us your idea and we’ll provide a clear, fair quote with no hidden costs.

 

Discounted Design When You Print With Us

If you choose to have your part printed by Easton3D, we usually offer a reduced design fee, because we can test and refine the model directly on our machines.

If you only need the CAD file and plan to print it elsewhere, the design cost may be higher — but still significantly more affordable than industrial design rates
