About HenleyPrint3D

Making UK manufacturing faster, more efficient and more reliable.

HenleyPrint3D was founded in 2015 by an Imperial College London mechanical engineer who believed making things should be quicker, simpler and more dependable than it was. A “yes” attitude to difficult problems has taken us from a small local start-up to a trusted partner for global corporations, research institutions and the UK’s aerospace and defence supply chain.

Our mission

To use technology to improve the efficiency, speed and quality of the UK’s sovereign manufacturing capability.

  • Efficient

    We take traditional manufacturing processes and use technology to remove the waste from them.

  • Rapid

    From idea to part in days, so design teams can test and revise without waiting on tooling or long supply chains.

  • Reliable

    Consistent parts on the first order and the fiftieth, from a team that takes responsibility for the result.

Culture

How we work

  • A yes attitude

    We take on difficult problems. If a part looks hard to make, that is usually where we can help most.

  • Engineers talking to engineers

    You deal directly with the people who understand the part, and who will tell you plainly what will and will not work.

  • Long-term partnerships

    We work with many customers over several years, and many return with their next, more demanding project.

  • Always improving

    We use technology to improve every step, and share what we learn through our guides, case studies and research.

Student sponsorship. We sponsor student engineers, including the Morpheus Racing F1 in Schools team, and support the Imperial College Boat Club.
