In 1976 we were the only company in the UK able to design and fabricate key parts for the first widely used body scanner, and since then we’ve worked hard to stay at the forefront of technology to create bespoke solutions using the latest in advanced plastics fabrication and machining and 3D printing technologies. We can still offer adaptability, precision and quality which are second to none.
3D printing may be used to create prototypes that improve patient care for a variety of applications ranging from stents and prosthetics to surgical planning and microfluidics. The possibilities are endless when biocompatible materials are used. With a resolution down to 2µm, Micro3D's equipment is ideal for generating both single-use and production-ready medical components in medical 3D printing applications.

Ultra-high resolution for printing intricate details
Ultra-high resolution 3D printing delivers exceptional detail essential for the next generation of miniaturized medical devices, particularly as they grow more complex and require ever-tighter tolerances. By leveraging micro-manufacturing techniques, this advanced form of additive production enables the creation of intricate geometries while preserving critical functionality—an ideal solution for med-tech projects like microfluidic lab-on-a-chip or organ-on-a-chip systems. Reducing component size while maintaining complexity can optimize resource usage, lower production costs, and streamline manufacturing processes. Through geometry optimization and the ability to fabricate shapes that are typically unfeasible with traditional methods, ultra-high resolution 3D printing helps drive medical innovation forward, ensuring these miniaturized components meet stringent industry standards while accelerating product development and time to market.
High precision for maintaining tight tolerances is essential in the Med-Tech industry, particularly for components that power cutting-edge applications like microfluidics, organ-on-a-chip systems, and other miniaturized medical devices. The latest medical device innovation leverages micro 3D printing to produce end-use parts directly on the factory production line with exceptionally high tolerances—thanks to the combination of ultra-high-resolution 3D printing technology and robust, real end-use materials. This breakthrough allows for faster prototyping and shorter lead times without compromising on quality or compliance. By harnessing micro 3D printing’s incredible accuracy, it’s now possible to create intricate, reliable components that meet rigorous medical standards, streamlining product development and accelerating the path to clinical use.
Without the tooling and production costs of traditional manufacturing, 3D printing makes prototypes, bespoke components, and small batch runs both practical and affordable. Our advanced additive manufacturing processes are tailored specifically to the pace and demands of the medical and Med-Tech sectors, delivering precision and reliability for everything from surgical devices to microfluidic organ-on-a-chip systems. By leveraging high-resolution 3D printing and biocompatible materials, we can rapidly iterate designs, reduce lead times, and ensure compliance with stringent industry standards. Whether you need custom medical parts, prototype medical devices, or specialized lab-on-a-chip technologies, our flexible 3D printing services offer cost-effective, high-quality solutions essential for today’s fast-evolving healthcare and pharmaceutical projects.
Lab-on-a-Chip, Organ-on-a-Chip, Rapid Prototyping to Save Lives
3D printing allows test items and prototypes to be produced, evaluated, and iterated at a rapid pace without sacrificing quality. This not only speeds up product development but also ensures your ideas can swiftly transition from concept to the clinical front line—something that can literally save lives. In particular, advanced 3D printing is integral to organ-on-a-chip and lab-on-a-chip microfluidic applications, where precise geometries and miniature fluid channels are critical. Rapid prototyping with 3D printing enables quick design modifications, helping researchers and developers refine these microfluidic devices faster, optimize functionality, and accelerate breakthroughs in cutting-edge medical research and diagnostics.
