Our Services Include:
Please see below for a more detailed description of our services.
CAD / 2D & 3D Design Incl. Concept Development & Detailing
- We are able to work from both physical and digital models as well as drawings, although often just an idea or sketch is enough.
- Our services include digitisation and reverse engineering.
- We can work with most common 2D & 3D digital file formats. If you don't have a digital file we are able to create one for you.
2D & 3D Visualisation / Rendering
- We can produce professional quality imagery tailored to fit your design concept.
- In past projects we have created visualisations for both architectural and product design use.
- Both draft and production quality images can be produced depending on the stage of your project and your budget.
3D Scanning & Other Forms of Digitisation
- We use professional, high precision structured light Artec scanners that capture data with an accuracy of up to 0.05 mm and cutting edge software to process the scan data, often with the use of AI neural networks.
- Scans are processed for your particular application. This can include digital sculpting, preparation for various 3D printing processes, product development and/or use in 2D/3D visualisation or unique pieces of artwork.
- Our highly experienced team can scan both complex, fine and detailed objects as well as larger pieces. We offer a range of post-processing options including reverse engineering and conversion into suitable file formats for further use including 3D printing and/or casting.
- We have undertaken high resolution 3D bust and body scans for various uses.
- Additional applications of our 3D scanning service include making digital records for the conservation, heritage and art sectors.
- Also offered is a duplication service.
Selected applications of our 3D scanning service include:
Arts
The capture of Artwork including Sculpture with particular expertise in the use of scan data for the creation of Experimental Works of Art and Design. Often our scan data is used in the production of 3D printed masters, tooling and moulds (see our in-house 3D printing and finishing services below).
Product and Architectural Design
3D capture of physical sketch/development models and prototypes for translation into high quality digital models suitable for further development.
Conservation & Heritage
Including the capture of Architectural Details and Historical Artefacts often used as Digital Records and for Research.
Engineering
Including Reverse Engineering & Metrology.

3D Printing
Including Professional Quality Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Multi Jet Fusion (MJF), Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA), Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), Metal Binder Jetting & Resin/Wax Prints for Investment/Lost Wax Metal Casting
- The 3D printing methods we offer include high resolution SLS, MJF, FDM and SLA processes in materials including Nylon/PA12, ABS+ and various SLA resins.
- We also offer DMLS, metal binder jetting and resin/wax 3D prints.
- Various in-house finishing options are available: see "Bespoke Finishing" options below.
- We can help prepare files and provide quotes for other 3D printing processes and materials including metal. Get in touch to discuss your requirements.
- Two Make can be contracted to manufacture complete and assembled final parts and products at the request of our clients. This can range from small batches to larger runs.

Bespoke Finishing
- The finishing methods we offer include automated polishing (vibratory tumbling), sand/bead blasting and hand finishing, tailored to your particular project.
- We also offer painting (including airbrushing and hand painting), dyeing and metal plating of parts.
Other Production / Prototyping Processes
- Laser Cutting / Engraving
- Materials offered include acrylic/perspex, plywood, timber, card and leather. Other materials available on request.
- Casting
- Materials include plaster of paris and concrete. These can be cast in bespoke colours, textures and finishes (if required). We often combine casting with our other production processes such as laser cutting/engraving and 3D printing.
- We can also supply cast metal parts produced by carefully selected foundries. We have particular experience producing fine castings in silver and bronze.
