A personal studio
I’m Nathan, a mechanical design engineer. I run Nathan Designs UK part-time alongside full-time employment. Supplied-file FDM printing is my primary service, with CAD and product design support available after review.
I reply and plan production around my employment commitments. I confirm availability and an achievable lead time after reviewing your request; priority requests are subject to availability.
Cardiff collection is strictly by prior arrangement. This is not a walk-in office or store. Collection details are shared privately once agreed.
What the service is for
The priority is print-ready work: customers who already have an STL, 3MF or STEP file and want a reliable way to have it made. That makes it possible to keep turnaround and admin sensible alongside more involved design projects.
Local, but not limited to local
Collection can be arranged in Cardiff, while delivery lets the same service work for customers elsewhere in the UK.
Design background
CAD and product-design support remains available when a job genuinely needs it, but it is positioned as a separate service rather than hiding design time inside the print price.
