3DPRINTUK – Acquired by Solid Solutions

Today we are thrilled to announce that 3DPRINTUK has been acquired by Solid Solutions and will become part of the TriMech Group.

Over the past decade, our team at 3DPRINTUK has been dedicated to delivering exceptional service to our customers. Our obsession with customer experience and setting the highest possible standards for 3D printed parts has enabled us to grow organically, expand our services, and increase our capacity while remaining cost-competitive. We’ve consistently invested in technology and personnel to optimise your experience with us.

By joining forces with Solid Solutions and becoming part of the TriMech Group, we have taken a huge leap forward in what we can offer our customers:

• A significant acceleration in investment: in technologies, capacity and people
• New services: additional services to further meet your needs, details of which will follow shortly.
• Resources and capital of a much larger company: enabling us to focus on what really matters to you as our customer

What does this mean for you?

“I would like to assure all of our customers that the most important part of this acquisition was for 3DPRINTUK to continue to operate ‘business as usual’. Your experience with us will remain seamless, there will be no disruptions to our operations, management staff, or accounts. Our team, who you have come to trust, will continue to be your point of contact and you can expect the same exceptional levels of service you have always received.”

Nick Allen CEO

Nick continues: “The only noticeable change you can anticipate in the future is the expansion of our service offerings, which will further enhance the value we bring to your business. 3DPRINTUK is fully committed to being the leading 3D printing service provider in the UK and we are confident that this development will only strengthen our partnership.”

Since our founding in 2011, we have evolved to become a leading specialist in low-volume production using SLS (selective laser sintering) and MJF (multi-jet fusion) additive manufacturing (AM) systems, along with a range of post-processing capabilities. Now, we are able to bridge the gap between prototype and injection moulding for clients spanning a range of sectors, from consumer products to marine and aerospace.

Solid Solutions is a UK-based technology and business solution partner for design engineers and manufacturers which was acquired by TriMech in 2022. This acquisition will embed us in a group with a comprehensive set of services that will help support customers from design to production.

Alan Sampson, TriMech’s Group CEO says, “Clients are seeking more depth of expertise and a single technology partner who can advise and guide them, while providing products and services that influence all aspects of their business. Professional, reliable services fill clients’ gaps quickly and keep their work on track. Adding 3DPRINTUK alongside other sympathetic acquisitions enhances our ability to always bring the right mix of tools to the job.”

Earlier in 2023, Solid Solutions acquired recruitment specialists Solid People and Solid Print 3D, a reseller of workbench manufacturing solutions. At the same time as 3DPRINTUK, Solid Solutions also acquired GRM Consulting, which provides design optimisation services. All acquisitions enhance Solid Solutions position as a best-in-class partner to the advanced design, engineering, and manufacturing sectors across the globe.

3DPRINTUK will serve as the dedicated 3D printing service team for the TriMech Group in the UK. The company will also be able to collaborate moving forward with TriMech’s advanced manufacturing services experts in North America, and to work internationally to deploy best practices and emerging technologies for its customers.

We are delighted to share the exciting news that our company has recently been acquired. This milestone marks a significant chapter in our journey, and we wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support throughout the years. Your trust and loyalty have been the driving force behind our success, and we are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve you. As we embark on this new chapter, we remain committed to providing the same exceptional products and services you have come to expect from us. We sincerely appreciate your continued partnership and look forward to building an even stronger relationship together. Thank you for being a part of our success.
