A UK-based 3D printing company born from a passion for making, building, and precision engineering.
At 83DCreate, we specialise in producing high-quality 3D prints. Our portfolio ranges from intricate bespoke designs crafted with meticulous attention to detail, to functional tool holders and workshop organisation products used by tradespeople and makers across the UK.
With over 1,000 five-star eBay reviews, our reputation speaks for itself. We take pride in every single print that leaves our facility — if it's not right, we reprint it.
In addition to our range of ready-made products, we offer a fully custom 3D printing service. Upload your STL file and our team will bring your vision to life.
83DCreate was born from a simple passion for making things. Starting with a single Ender 3 in a spare room and a drive to create, we began producing custom prints, gifts and prototypes for local businesses and makers. What started as a hobby quickly became something more.
Demand grew faster than expected. We reinvested every penny back into the business, scaling up to a full print farm. More capacity meant bigger orders, faster turnarounds, and the ability to keep quality exactly where we wanted it — uncompromising.
A milestone we're genuinely proud of. Hitting over 1,000 positive reviews on eBay proved that our approach — obsessing over quality, reprinting anything that isn't right, and treating every customer like the only customer — was working.
We built our own instant quote engine so anyone can upload an STL file and get a real price in seconds — no account needed, no waiting, no back and forth. It's now a core part of 83DCreate. Try it here →
Scaling to 8 printers exposed a gap in the market. Every tool we tried was built for hobbyists, not working farms. Nothing handled eBay orders, job queues, live printer monitoring, filament tracking and dispatch in one place. So we spent six months building exactly what we needed.
The result is FDM Foreman — a print farm management platform that now runs our entire operation. The same software that coordinates all 8 of our Neptune 4 Pros, syncs our eBay orders and tracks every job from queue to dispatch.
It won us the Additive Manufacturing Software Innovation Excellence Award 2026 🏆 and is now available to print farm operators across the UK as a standalone SaaS product.
We also wrote the book — literally. The First Layer is our complete beginner's guide to 3D printing, available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle. Everything we wish someone had told us at the start, in plain English.
What started as one printer is now an award-winning business with 8 machines, 1,000+ five-star reviews, our own software and a published book. We're not done. The mission is to be the UK's number one 3D printing service — and we're well on the way.
We stay at the forefront of 3D printing technology, investing in the latest equipment to deliver cutting-edge results.
Every print is inspected against our exacting quality standards. 1,000+ five-star reviews are our proof.
We transform your ideas into reality. From concept to finished print, our team is with you every step.
