Industrial 3D Printing Milton Keynes
Useful printed parts backed by real manufacturing experience.
Wards Additive helps businesses turn CAD files, sketches, samples and practical problems into usable components. We focus on functional work: prototypes, production aids, replacement parts and low-volume products.
Because we work alongside Wards Welding & Fabrications, we understand how parts are fitted, loaded, handled and used on the shop floor. If a component would be better machined or fabricated in metal, we will say so.

Core Services
What we can produce for you.
From the first trial part to a repeat production batch, we choose the print route around how the component needs to perform.
01
Prototype 3D Printing
Fast concept and functional prototypes for checking fit, size, access and appearance before committing to tooling or machining.
02
Jigs & Fixtures
Assembly aids, drill guides, inspection fixtures, locator blocks, soft jaws and holding tools for repeat workshop tasks.
03
Low-Volume Production
Repeat plastic components in quantities where mould tooling is too expensive or the design may still need to change.
04
Replacement Parts
Obsolete, damaged or difficult-to-source plastic items recreated from a sample, drawing, photographs or measurements.
05
Machine & Workshop Aids
Brackets, guards, covers, holders, plugs, spacers, trays, templates and practical accessories made for the job.
06
Design Support
Advice on wall thickness, orientation, clearances, fixing points, strength and material choice before the print starts.
Applications
Made for engineering, production and maintenance teams.
ManufacturingLine-side tooling, guides, holders and repeat production aids.

How It Works
A straightforward route from idea to finished part.
1
Send
Upload an STL, STEP, 3MF, drawing, photograph or sketch with the quantity and intended use.
2
Review
We check geometry, material, finish, tolerances, strength and whether printing is suitable.
3Print
Your approved part is prepared and produced in-house using the agreed material and settings.
4
Repeat
Once proven, the same component can be supplied again or developed into a production batch.
