The company has also announced a further investment of almost £1m in its production capabilities with the addition of two new HP 5210 Pro Systems, increasing its total machine count from eight to 10. This marks a 25% increase in MJF capacity, reinforcing the company’s position as the largest additive manufacturing bureau in the UK - on average five times larger than its competitors.

“We’re now operating with a machine count that’s five times bigger than the average UK bureau,” said Nick Allen, CEO of 3DPRINTUK. “If we can’t fulfil a high-volume order using additive manufacture, then no one can. This investment is about staying ahead of demand and continuing to deliver the speed, quality, and reliability our customers expect.”

This expansion allows 3DPRINTUK to take on even larger and more complex projects, while maintaining the precision and consistency that has made it a trusted partner for thousands of businesses worldwide.

JOSCAR Certification
The Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register (JOSCAR) is an industry-recognised accreditation system used by major organisations in aerospace, defence, and security to ensure suppliers meet rigorous standards for compliance, capability, and quality assurance.

Achieving JOSCAR certification means 3DPRINTUK has undergone a thorough evaluation process covering:

  • Business and financial standing
  • Health and safety
  • Environmental management
  • Ethical operations
  • Supply chain security

“JOSCAR certification is a major step forward for us,” added Allen. “It demonstrates our commitment to operating at the highest standards across every aspect of our business, and it opens doors to more mission-critical projects in regulated industries.”

This latest investment and certification are part of 3DPRINTUK’s ongoing mission to deliver more value to its clients.

3DPRINTUK continues to champion Additive Manufacturing (AM) as a complement to traditional methods like injection moulding, CNC machining and casting. Its mission is to push the boundaries of AM, making it a viable solution for end-use parts at scale.
