3T RPD is a leading provider of plastic and metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) services throughout the UK and Europe.

3T RPD Ltd was established in 1999 in Newbury, Berkshire, and has become a leading provider of plastic and metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) services throughout the UK and Europe. They remain unchallenged as the UK’s largest plastic AM (Selective Laser Sintering) provider supplying 50% of the UK market. Having moved into new purpose-built premises in September 2006 they subsequently increased their manufacturing facility in May 2007 to launch their metal AM (Direct Metal Laser Sintering/DMLS) capability. Having invested heavily in the necessary technology and personnel, they now supply 40% of the UK market and are at the forefront of the metal AM industry. They produce lightweight, high performance metal and plastic parts that are usually unachievable by other traditional manufacturing methods. From one-off prototypes through to end-use production components, parts are optimised to retain their strength whilst reducing their weight. AM processes are cost-effective, fast and extremely accurate and they work with world-famous clients in many demanding industries including Aerospace, Architecture, Automotive, Medical, FMCG, Marine, Defence and Pharmaceutical.
