3D Printing Cologne – custom parts and prototypes
FDM and resin printing, CAD support and personal project enquiries from Cologne-Kalk.
Have a 3D file, a sketch or a part that is no longer available? UpgradePrinting helps you assess the geometry, printing method and material before production. Each enquiry is reviewed on its own requirements rather than fitted to a fixed package.
Production takes place in Cologne-Kalk. Finished orders can be collected locally by arrangement; DHL shipping is also available for other destinations.
3D printing services for your project
- FDM 3D printing: Filament printing for functional prototypes, housings, brackets and robust one-off components.
- Resin 3D printing: Fine details and smooth surfaces for miniatures, models and delicate components.
- CAD and 3D scanning: CAD construction, model optimisation and reverse engineering when a print-ready file is not available.
- Custom production: Prototypes, custom parts, replacement parts and small batches by arrangement.
Materials and method
The right option depends on the geometry, desired surface and how the part will be used. FDM materials can include PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA and flexible TPU. Resin is an option for detailed models. Material and printing method are confirmed for the individual project before production.
From idea to finished part
- Send an idea or file: STL, STEP, OBJ or ZIP files are useful for an initial review. A sketch or description is also welcome.
- Discuss feasibility: We look at geometry, printing method, material, quantity and any CAD support that may be needed.
- Review the project information: Scope and costs are clarified before production starts.
- Print and hand over: After approval, the finished order can be collected in Cologne-Kalk by arrangement or sent via DHL.
What can be made?
- Prototypes: Form models and functional samples for testing and further development.
- Replacement parts: Based on an existing file, a reference part or an agreed reconstruction.
- Custom components: Housings, adapters, brackets and other parts for a specific requirement.
- Small batches: Multiple matching parts after the data and production scope have been agreed.
Examples from the project gallery
Published work includes miniature Cologne stadium towers for an individual mini-golf course, as well as custom cosplay and gift designs offered through Etsy. The project gallery links to the relevant Etsy listings; these are product references, not first-party review claims.
