Capabilities
Product modelling, prototyping and small-batch production.
The technical side of the studio: 3D modelling, CAD-to-physical production, file preparation, rapid prototyping and limited production runs of custom parts, all handled in Italy.
What the studio does technically
Parametric and organic modelling from a brief, a sketch, a photo or a physical sample, producing a design resolved enough to manufacture.
Start with your idea
Additive manufacturing, used as a tool
The studio produces parts additively in premium polymer. That is a production method, not an identity: it is chosen when it is the right route to the piece, and we will say so when another route serves you better. Parts are designed for the process — wall thicknesses, orientation, assembly and finishing are decided as part of the design, not discovered afterwards.
Materials and honest limits
Parts we manufacture are polymer. Selection is driven by the use: mechanical load, heat exposure, UV and outdoor conditions, contact requirements, surface finish and dimensional stability. Metal, glass and electronic elements can be integrated as purchased components. We do not print metal, and large pieces are engineered as assemblies rather than presented as impossible single parts.
Practical notes
- Formats accepted
- STL, STEP, OBJ, 3MF, native CAD, and dimensioned drawings as PDF or image.
- Tolerances
- Functional dimensions are confirmed by measurement on the produced part, not assumed from the model.
- Assemblies
- Larger pieces are designed as engineered assemblies with defined joints and fixings.
- Finishing
- Surface treatment and hand finishing are specified as part of the design, and inspected before dispatch.
Where to go next
Depending on what you already have.
- Custom designSend a sketch, a photo, a voice note or simply explain the problem. We will help turn what you have into something we can design, test and make.
- For businessFrom a distinctive presentation for a high-value product to an operational piece built around your workflow, we develop bespoke solutions rather than dressing up generic ones.
- Your designWe can review existing drawings and 3D files for production, flag what may need changing and give you a clear route forward.
Parts designed and produced by the studio are premium polymer. Any metal or glass elements are purchased components integrated into the design.
Technical questions
Can you model from a physical sample?
Yes. Photographs with reference dimensions, or the part itself where practical, are usually enough to begin.
Do you repair broken meshes?
Yes. Non-manifold geometry, inverted normals, self-intersections and thin walls are part of the standard file assessment.
What tolerances can you hold?
It depends on geometry, material and orientation, so we will not quote a headline number that flatters us. Where a dimension is functional we confirm it by measurement on the produced part and tell you what is realistic before production.
How are parts finished?
Surface treatment is decided as part of the design rather than after the fact, and is specified in the quotation — so you know what the piece will look and feel like before it is made, not when it arrives.
Can parts be used with food, drink or skin contact?
Tell us the actual contact and we will answer specifically. Many pieces are designed so that contact happens against a purchased glass, ceramic or stainless insert, which is usually the honest solution rather than a claim about the polymer.
Can you produce parts for outdoor use?
Yes, with material selected for UV and temperature exposure. Tell us the environment — full sun, frost, salt air — and we will specify accordingly.
How large a part can you produce?
Beyond a certain envelope a part is engineered as an assembly with designed joints and fixings rather than presented as an impossible single piece. We will tell you which applies and where the joints would fall.
Do you print metal?
No. Parts we produce are polymer. Metal elements in a finished project are purchased components integrated into the design.
What batch sizes make sense?
One-off through to limited runs. For genuinely high volumes we will tell you when moulding is the better commercial answer, even though that means turning down the work.
Can you sign an NDA before we send files?
Yes, and files are treated as confidential by default whether or not one is signed.
