My item is a ‘pistol grip’ handle for a hand held device. The handle is similar to the grip on hand held tape dispensers. The supplier has dissappeared and I have one left I would like to replicate. Is any one able to digitise an existing item and then print a new one. Only need 10 - 20 per year but to source alternative and engineer an adaptor to suit exisiting equipment in already in field would be prohibitive. UK Midlands location preferred.

Hi There

We are not in the UK, but we are specialized in digitizing objects and we are also specialized in 3D Printing. We have the printers, the software and most importantly the knowledge to put the equipment to use. If you would like, to send me some specs, I can send you a quote. I would be pleased to hear from you.

Kind Regards,

Ben

You could try to 3d model it in cad such as tinkercad which is a free online program. If you can do that you can get anyone to print it.

Could you please post a picture of this grip and I will see if I can help you model one.

Hi, I have just joined 3DHUBS, Sino have a laser scanner and 3D printer so can scan your existing part, digitise the file and 3D print a part. Our equipment is at Lower Cape in Warwick.
