Built around your goals. Backed by proven systems.

At the heart of our business is a fast-growing, high capacity additive manufacturing operation, comprising of 70+ 3D printers, built to deliver precision, creativity, and scale. Specialising in professional 3D printing solutions, we produce a wide range of products for our clients spanning consumer toys, custom storage systems, and bespoke B2B products all with a strong focus on quality, consistency, and efficient turnaround times. With a rapidly expanding print farm and a deep understanding of modern digital manufacturing, we are able to move from concept to finished product with speed and flexibility. Our strength lies in the combination of our additive manufacturing capability and commercial thinking. Whether we are producing prototypes, medium volume product lines or distinctive retail-ready items we use 3D printing not as a gimmick, but as a quality production method. We offer short-run agility and design freedom unlike large industrial manufacturing plants.

Built around your goals. Backed by proven systems.

Our vision

Our vision is to become a respected additive manufacturing player by transforming 3D printing from a niche capability into a scalable production force. Our aim is to become a leader in digitally manufactured consumer products, custom solutions and design-driven small-batch production, proving that world-class manufacturing can be agile, local, and innovative.

Our mission

Our mission is to design boldly, manufacture intelligently, and deliver without compromise

Our services

Flexible additive manufacturing services built around speed, control, and practical delivery.

Whether you need a single prototype or a repeatable short-run manufacturing partner, we offer services that reduce tooling risk, shorten lead times, and keep your business moving.

Print on-demand

Print on-demand

Our print on-demand service gives businesses and customers access to high-quality 3D printed products without the burden of industrial sized batches. We manufacture each item to order allowing for greater flexibility, lower risk, and efficient turnaround times.

Prototyping

Prototyping

Our prototyping service helps turn ideas into physical objects. From concept models to functional test pieces, we enable faster validation of your designs, and we assist with your product development before committing to larger-scale production runs.

Short-Run Production

Short-Run Production

Our short-run production service is ideal for low to medium-volume manufacturing where traditional tooling would be cost prohibitive or impractical. By eliminating mould and tooling costs, we provide a flexible and cost-effective way to produce quality parts and products in smaller quantities.

Contract Manufacturing

Contract Manufacturing

Our contract manufacturing service enables businesses to outsource the production of parts or products to us while retaining ownership of the brand, product concept and customer relationship. We act as the manufacturing partner behind the scenes, producing items to specification. This allows for a faster time to market and tighter control of capital investments.

Customer feedback

What clients say.

Our clients value clear communication, consistent output, and the ability to get quality work done without unnecessary friction.

"We’ve had an excellent experience working with DTC Group for our 3D printing requirements. Their print quality is consistently of a very high standard, with great attention to detail and a clean, professional finish on every job. What really stands out is their ability to recommend the right materials for each application, ensuring both durability and functionality without compromising on design intent. Most importantly, DTC Group respects the integrity of the original design. When we supply technical models, they reproduce them with precision; maintaining critical dimensions, tolerances, and fine features. This is especially important for components with clips, tight fits, or small functional elements where even minor deviations can affect performance. Their accuracy ensures that parts fit and function exactly as intended. It’s clear they understand not just printing, but the engineering behind the designs. That level of care and consistency makes them a reliable partner for our projects..."
