What it is for

  • A part that checks a dimension without a measuring instrument
  • Order without paying for a mould or a minimum quantity
  • Receive a sample before the rest of the batch is made

Dial gauge holder with dovetail: the part that checks a dimension without a measuring instrument, remade or adapted from whatever you send us.

You do not need a 3D file to order. A dimensioned drawing, a photograph taken square-on with a ruler beside the part, or the broken part sent to us by post is enough: we rebuild the geometry and submit the file to you before anything is manufactured.

The three materials we recommend for this part. PLA-CF, our default choice: the precision of PLA with a stiffness that no longer bends. For a slim part that must stay straight, without moving to a technical material. PETG-CF: the most useful compromise in the range: the toughness of PETG plus the dimensional stability of the fibre. For when it has to be both strong and accurate. PA6-CF: stiff, light, very low creep. This is the material for parts kept under permanent load that must not deform over time.

Envelope up to 350 × 350 × 350 mm, quantities from 1 to several hundred, precision matched to what the part has to do rather than to a commercial standard. All twenty workshop materials remain available for this part, from PLA to carbon-filled PPS rated at 200 °C: if your constraint differs from the one we assumed, tell us and we change material without changing the starting price.

Why work with us. Change it without paying for a new mould. A dimension to correct, a hole to move: we edit the file and print again. On a mould, the same correction costs money and takes weeks. The part you cannot find any more. Mould destroyed, manufacturer gone, reference discontinued: this is where we have no competition. A photograph, a set of dimensions or the broken part is enough to make it again. Short lead time, made in France. Workshop in Morsang-sur-Orge, near Paris. Firm quotation within 24 working hours, and every part inspected before dispatch.

Your part, to your dimensions. Send us your 3D file, a dimensioned drawing, a photograph, or simply the part to be copied: we reproduce it faithfully or adapt it, from a single unit, with no tooling cost at all. The images on this page show typical work and are not contractual.

Dial gauge holder with dovetail in PLA-CF: temperature resistance 60 °C; still a 60 °C ceiling: fibre does nothing for heat resistance; other option, PETG-CF if the part must take impacts.

Another material is possible: tell us the real constraint (temperature, UV, impact, contact) and we will suggest one.

Frequently asked

What if the material you recommend does not suit?

Tell us the real constraint — temperature, UV, contact with a product, load — and we change material. Twenty are available, from PLA to carbon-filled PPS.

Can you modify the original part?

Yes, and that is often the real benefit: thickening a rib that kept breaking, moving a hole, changing a diameter. On a mould, the same correction costs money and takes weeks.

I have no 3D file — is that a problem?

No. A dimensioned drawing, a photograph taken square-on with a ruler beside the part, or the part itself sent by post is enough. We rebuild the geometry and submit the file to you before anything is made.
