Assess
Check the geometry, intended use, size and level of detail.
Specialist service 05
3D printing
Move from digital geometry to a physical object you can hold, test and review.
01 / Overview
Prototype before you commit.
3D printing is useful when scale, fit and physical interaction matter. GKP can prepare or repair the model, assess print suitability and produce prototypes, architectural models or low-volume parts as part of a wider design workflow.
Material and process are selected around the use case. Safety-critical, structural or highly regulated components require appropriate engineering validation and are assessed separately.
02 / What you can receive
A useful result,
shaped around the brief.
01
Prototype parts
02
Architectural and interior models
03
Fit / form test pieces
04
Low-volume non-safety-critical parts
05
Print-ready model preparation
06
Repeat prints from approved geometry
03 / Process
Clear from start to finish.
Prepare
Optimise orientation, wall thickness, tolerances and print strategy.
Produce the part or model, review the result and repeat where useful.

05 / Best suited to
Designers, homeowners, makers and restoration projects that need a fast physical prototype, display model or low-volume part.
