Our Capabilities > Additive Manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing

Mechalink provides professional 3D printing services for engineers, product developers, and manufacturers requiring accurate, repeatable and production-ready additive manufacturing. We support a wide range of polymer and metal 3D printing processes, offering material selection guidance, DFM input, and access to reliable offshort manufacturing partners - all managed through a single point of contact. Our role is to ensure your parts are printed correctly the first time, with the right process, material, tolerances and post-processing - without the trial and error typically associated with additive manufacturing.

Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM)

Mechalink Design Service

Additive manufacturing requires a different design approach compared to subtractive or moulded parts. We provide engineering input to ensure your parts are optimised for the selected printing processes.

DfAM Support Includes:

Wall thickness optimisation
Feature orientation and support strategy
Internal lattice and weight reduction
Tolerance and fit guide
Transition planning from prototyping to production

we manage post-processing to deliver parts ready to use

Why Use Mechalink for 3D Printing?

Our Manufacturing Advantage:

Access to trusted international additive manufacturing partners
Support for both prototype and production volumes
Engineering review before production
Clear communication and accountability
Competitive pricing without comprimising quality

We handle supplier selection, technical clarification, production oversight, and quality checks - so you don't have to manage multiple vendors.

Unlike instant-quote platforms, Mechalink acts as an engineering intermediary — ensuring the right process, supplier, and specification is selected for your application.
