Capabilities
A small workshop built around getting parts right.
Attig Prototypes is run by one person in West Cumbria. Deal directly with me to model, print and finish your parts, with quotes that come with real feedback on geometry, material and assembly rather than a price alone. Most clients are within an hour of the workshop; the rest are posted UK-wide.
Materials & processes
The right material, not just the one that is loaded.
| Material | Process | Typical use | Properties |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLA | FDM | Patterns, form studies, mock-ups and fit checks | Stiff and dimensionally stable, low heat resistance |
| PETG | FDM | Jigs, fixtures, brackets and general workshop parts | Tough, with good chemical resistance |
| TPU | FDM | Gaskets, grips, dampers and flexible couplings | Flexible and abrasion resistant |
Not sure which to pick? Describe the part and I'll recommend a material with your quote.
Roadmap · Coming soon
Engineering grades are the next step.
ABS and ASA for heat and weather resistance, plus glass- and carbon-fibre reinforced blends for stiffness. Not orderable yet — the three materials above are what I print today.
ABS
Tougher, warmer-service parts than PLA where impact matters
ASA
UV and weather stable — outdoor brackets, covers and housings
GF reinforced
Glass-fibre blends for stiffness and dimensional hold under load
CF reinforced
Carbon-fibre blends for the stiffest, lightest functional parts
Need one of these now? Tell me the duty of the part — I'll quote the closest material I can print today.
Capabilities
Engineering support included in every quote.
I review every job before I price it, so you're quoted for a part that can actually be made. It's a one-person workshop in West Cumbria.
Rapid prototyping
One-off parts printed from CAD or reverse-engineered from a broken original. Turnaround depends on the job; I'll give you an honest timeline with your quote.
Enclosures & housings
Printed shells for electronics, sensors and handheld devices, with bosses, ports and mounting features modelled in.
Jigs, fixtures & tooling
Locating fixtures and assembly aids that survive the workshop floor, not just the desk.
Design for additive
I adjust wall thickness, orientation and tolerances so the part prints reliably and assembles first time.
Reverse engineering
Bring a worn or discontinued part — in person if you're local to Cumbria — and I measure, remodel and reproduce it in a suitable material.
Small-batch production
Batches from a single part up to a hundred. Small batches, checked against the approved design.
How it runs
One thread from first sketch to final invoice.
No email chains. Every quote, design revision, payment and delivery note stays with the job in your customer portal.
- 01
Submit the brief
Describe the part and attach photographs, sketches or existing CAD. No account needed to send the first message. Local to Cumbria? Drop the original at the workshop instead.
- 02
Get a fixed quote
I review the geometry, propose a material and process, and issue a price with a deposit and a timeline.
- 03
Review the design
I post proposed designs and renders into your thread. Comment, request changes, and approve when it's right.
- 04
Print, finish, inspect
I print, post-process and check every part against the approved design, and keep progress updated in your portal.
- 05
Pay and receive
Deposit at approval, balance before dispatch. Collect from the workshop or have it posted — invoices live in the thread.

Have a part that needs to exist?
Send a sketch, a photograph or a broken original. You will get a fixed price, a material recommendation and a realistic lead time. If you are in Cumbria, bring it to the bench and we will look at it together.
