- End of ARM Tooling (EOAT): Grippers tailored to your automation setup for precise handling and movement
- Jigs & Formers: Bespoke tools for assembly, QA, and production that are fast to produce and easy to replicate
- Fixtures and Guides: Lightweight, durable supports and guides designed for your workflow
- Custom Fittings: One-off connectors and adaptors to improve system performance and flexibility
Whether you’re streamlining manual processes or upgrading automated lines, 3D printed parts offer fast turnaround, reduced tooling costs, and seamless integration into existing operations.
Why Choose Midlands 3D in Manufacturing and Robotics
Digital Warehousing & On-Demand Spares
Stop stocking shelves with spares, jigs, or moulds and store them as digital files instead.
Midlands 3D helps manufacturers digitise tooling and component inventories, enabling secure online storage and on-demand 3D printing. When a part is needed, it’s reproduced quickly and accurately, reducing lead times and downtime.
- Cut inventory costs by eliminating low-use physical stock
- Free up warehouse space with digital storage
- Minimise production delays with rapid part reproduction
- Preserve legacy tooling via 3D scanning of formers, grippers, moulds, etc.
Digital warehousing transforms spare part management into a lean, cost-effective process—ideal for modern manufacturing environments.
Parts for Machine Building
Machine builders rely on robust, reliable, and customizable components. At Midlands 3D, we provide on-demand 3D-printed parts that form the building blocks of bespoke machines, automated systems, and robotics.
From structural brackets and custom housings to lightweight grippers and guides, our parts are designed and optimised for strength, precision, and efficiency. Work with Midlands 3D to produce:
Custom Brackets & Mounts for Machine Assemblies
Protective Housings & Enclosures for Sensors and Actuators
Lightweight, Complex Parts for Robotics and Automation Systems
Materials and Technologies that are up to the job.
With a wide variety of polymer based materials to choose from and MJF, FDM, SLS and SLA technologies all operated in-house, we can guide you to the optimal combination of material and process to meet the task at hand and the budget available.
For example, you might need the soft touch and flexible properties of TPU for end of arm tooling and work holding applications, or ESD protection where static build up needs to be minimised for handling electronic assembly. You might want the strength, resilience and precision of a MJF printed PA12 Nylon part, or the quick and cost-effective turnaround of FDM prints in PETG or PLA.
Talk to us and we’ll help you come up with the right combination for your use case.
