High-Quality Printing Solutions for Businesses
Fusion Deposit Material Printing In Derby
Reliable, Functional, and Cost-Effective
FDM printing is ideal for functional prototypes, mechanical parts, and low-volume production. Using materials like PLA, PETG, and ABS, we can deliver strong, dimensionally accurate parts for both indoor and outdoor use.
Why FDM?
Great for larger parts and robust designs
Fast turnaround and economical pricing
Wide range of material and color options
Strong layer adhesion and durable results
Ideal for enclosures, brackets, tools, and jigs
Resin Printing In Derby
Ultra-Fine Detail & Smooth Surface Finish
Resin printing is best suited for applications where precision and visual detail matter—perfect for miniatures, product design mockups, dental models, and custom enclosures. Our MSLA printers produce incredibly smooth surfaces and crisp edges.
Why Resin?
High-resolution, fine-detail output
Excellent for intricate designs and small parts
Smooth surface finish, ready for painting
Ideal for figurines, concept models, and aesthetic parts

3D PRINTING - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: How much does it cost to 3D print?
A: The cost of 3D printing depends on several factors, including the number of parts, the material you choose, and any post-processing required. To keep costs down, designs can sometimes be optimised — for example, by nesting parts together. For an instant estimate, Get A Quote.
Q: Where are you based?
Q: What is 3D printing and how does it work?
A: 3D printing is the process of turning a digital design into a physical object, layer by layer. At Protomolecule we offer two main methods:
FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling): plastic filament is melted and precisely extruded through a heated nozzle to build strong, functional parts.
Resin Printing (SLA/MSLA): liquid resin is cured with UV light to create models with ultra-fine detail and smooth surfaces.
Both methods produce high-quality 3D models, each suited to different applications — from durable prototypes and engineering parts to detailed miniatures and product design mock-ups.
Q: What other services do you offer in ?
A: We also provide 3D design, 3D scanning, batch production, and rapid prototyping alongside our 3D printing services. These additional options mean we can support your project from concept through to finished parts.
Q: How fast can you deliver to ?
A: Most 3D printing orders are shipped from our Nottingham facility within 2–3 working days, depending on the size and complexity of your project. Since Chester is only a short distance away, delivery is typically next-day once dispatched with our tracked courier service. For urgent projects, we can often fast-track production — just let us know your deadline when requesting a quote.
