DESCRIPTION
This project started in 2018 when I designed and manufactured 10 copies of a 2D, laser cut, Glasgow-themed chess set, which I sold in Princes Square, Glasgow.
In 2021 my mate Michael and I then set out to try and design and manufacture a 3D version.
The product is a custom chess set, with pieces based on iconic landmarks around our hometown, Glasgow, from mostly around the Clydeside area.

3D MODELLING, 3D PRINTING & CONSULATION SERVICE
WHY CHOOSE US?
Flexibility
Our 3D printing services portfolio ranges from manufacturing hundreds of sensor casings for a large University organisation, to 3D printing a small camera tripod stand for someone who emailed us looking for a solution to shaky videos...and everything in between!
Experience
We have a combined 10 years experience in 3D CAD design (Fusion, Solidworks, Inventor, Blender etc) and in both FDM and SLA 3D printing.
Passion
We are extremely passionate about 3D modelling and 3D printing, and we love to get stuck into new and challenging projects.
Competitive Pricing
As a relatively small organisation we are able to offer competitive pricing to all of our customers, big or small. You can read real feedback from our past customers here.
SENSOR CASINGS FOR UOFG URBAN BIG DATA CENTRE
Recently we collaborated with the Urban Big Data Centre at University of Glasgow on a significant project. We manufactured 200 bespoke sensor enclosures for their study on indoor environments and fuel poverty. We worked with them to provide several iterations of prototypes to ratify the design, before commencing full production.
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL:
Dr. Qunshan Zhao (Professor in Urban Analytics):
"It was a lovely experience working with 3D Scotland. They delivered our tasked job promptly and are able to fix those printing issues quickly. The company provides a very competitive price and I would definitely recommend 3D Scotland to other people want to use 3D printing service in Scotland and UK."
Dr. Grant Tregonning (Research Associate):
"It has been a pleasure working with you and I will most definitely be bearing you in mind/promoting you to friends/colleagues."
BRONZE SUNBIRD 3D PRINT
The customer approached us with a 3D file of a sunbird. We recommended the optimal manufacturing method and material, and made adjustments to the model to ensure that it would be robust enough once manufactured. The 3D printed sunbird was used to cast a Bronze replica which is now on show at the Timespan Heritage and Art Institution in Helmsdale, Scotland.
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL:
Naoko Mabon & Giulia Gregnanin (Co-curators at Timespan in Helmsdale):
"Michael and Alex at 3D Scotland Ltd were a wonderful team to work with. Prompt, helpful and professional. They produced a 3D-printed Palestine Sunbird which then has been casted into bronze at Black Isle Bronze Ltd in Nairn."
BESPOKE RING DESIGN & MANUFACTURE
We really enjoyed working on this project! Kayleigh came to us with rough sketches and dimensions for a bespoke ring which we used to create and fine-tune a 3D model with Kayleigh's input. After agreeing on a final design we then manufactured the ring, which was then used to create a mold so that these could be made over and over again in metal.
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL:
Kayleigh Grier (Glasgow-based Jeweller):
"I contacted 3D Scotland looking for help and they have gone above and beyond! I am a Glasgow based jeweller who received a commission from a client for a rather detailed sovereign style ring. It required both 3D modelling and printing. With only my rough sketches to go by -but a very specific vision- they really had their work cut out for them!
3D Scotland were incredibly attentive and helpful right from the start. They talked me through pricing and material options and then set to work. They sent frequent updates, keeping me involved in the process and allowing me to make changes if required.
They have an incredible amount of skill and it really shows in the 3D Print and design I received.
I am so glad to have found 3D Scotland. Both myself and my client are incredibly delighted with the finished product and I really look forward to working with them again!"

THE PROCESS
1. Contact
Contact us at info@3dscotland.net or using the form below. Here you can ask us any questions you may have on your project and we can recommend printing methods, materials, design changes and more to make sure that you are happy to proceed.
2. Quote
We will then offer you a no-obligation quote for our services, which includes design (if applicable), materials, manufacturing and shipping. We will also give you a lead time (when we expect you to receive your product).
3. Modelling
If you don't have a 3D model to hand, we can create one for you! We charge a design fee which depends on the complexity of the model. If you have a 3D model (preferably STEP/STL format) then skip straight to step 4!
4. Manufacturing
Next step is manufacturing. Time to manufacture will depend on the type of printing, number of units, availability of materials and 3D Scotland's manufacturing schedule.
5. Shipping
Finally, we will carefully package up and ship your order to you. We can ship anywhere in the UK, and price of shipping will be communicated to you before you place the order.
