SHT 01/06 — GENERAL ARRANGEMENT
Design & build studio · London

From CAD file
to finished part.

A one-person print shop for people who'd rather talk to the person actually running their job than upload a file into a faceless online queue. Custom orders, prototyping, and small production runs — printed and finished in south-west London.

SHT 02/06 — SCOPE OF WORK
What we build

Three ways to work with us

01

Custom orders & small-batch runs

One-off parts, replacement components, and short production runs for individuals and businesses — designed from your sketch or spec if you don't already have a model.

Quote per job
02

Prototyping for hire

Fast, iterative prototypes for other businesses' product development — functional test parts, fit checks, and pre-production samples turned around in days, not weeks.

Day-rate or per-iteration
03

Direct-to-consumer products

A small, evolving range of our own printed products, sold direct — refined and expanded based on what customers actually order.

How a job runs

Brief to delivery

1

Brief

Send your file, sketch, or problem — we scope fit, function, and finish.

2

Design check

We flag anything that won't print well and propose a fix before you're charged.

3

Print

Run on the fleet best suited to the material and tolerance the part needs.

4

Finish & QC

Support removal, sanding, or dye as needed, checked against your spec.

5

Deliver

Collection from the studio or courier, UK-wide.

Why work with us

The bureau, minus the queue

Big online print bureaus are built for volume, not conversation. We're built for the opposite: one point of contact, a small enough job list to actually think about yours, and the flexibility to change a spec after you've seen the first print.

Direct to the maker
  • You talk to the person printing it

    No account managers relaying messages — the person quoting your job is the person running the machine.

  • Mixed fleet, matched to the part

    FDM for strength and speed, resin for detail and surface finish — chosen per job, not a one-process shop.

  • Based locally, not offshore

    Studio in south-west London, with faster turnaround and no cross-border shipping delay.

  • Built to scale with you

    Repeat and growing orders are prioritised as the studio's fleet expands.
