Assembled modular articulated-arm mechanism, designed and 3D printed by PartForm
Who we are PF · PRODUCT ENGINEERING · GABROVO

Built by engineers, for practical problems.

A specialist engineering service covering CAD design, reverse engineering, and functional 3D printing - with a direct path to production through our associated manufacturing company. One engineer holds your design from brief to running line.

The same engineer holds the project from the first line of the brief to the first working part on the line.

One team. One project lead. One path to production.
// 01 · How we work

What we
stand by.

Three principles. They show up in every quote, every model, every print we send out.

01

Function first.

Every part we design or produce is built to do a job. Appearance follows. We don't produce visual models, showcase pieces, or parts that won't survive the environment they're built for.

Reads asEngineering plastic, toleranced, load-tested.
02

Honest capability.

We'll tell you what 3D printing can and can't do for your application. We'd rather give you the right solution than the easy one - even if the right solution means recommending a different process entirely.

Reads as"Don't print this - machine it."
03

Direct communication.

When you contact us, you speak to the engineers. We don't route enquiries through a sales layer. The person who answers your question is the person who will build your part.

Reads asNo account managers. Same email throughout.
// 02 · Our story

We fill a gap
most suppliers can't.

Every other route was the wrong answer for half our work. We started PartForm because of where they each fall short.

Alternative
Them
With us · PartForm
CNC shopsSubtractive · metal
High minimum quantities.
Long lead times measured in weeks.
Material range biased to metal.
One part is a normal job.
First print in days, not weeks.
Engineering plastics chosen for the load.
Design agenciesConcept · visualization
Concept renders, not toleranced parts.
No manufacturing context.
Hand-off to "someone else" for production.
Manufacturing-aware design from line one.
A working part you can load and test.
We carry it through to production with you.
Print bureausSend file · print
"Ship the file." No engineering input.
Material defaults to whatever's loaded.
No follow-through after the print.
Function-first review before we slice.
Material picked for environment and load.
Print, fit, validate, iterate - together.
Each of these has its place. None of them was the right answer for businesses with real engineering problems and no practical route to a custom solution. So we built the route.
// 03 · What we cover

Core capabilities.

End-to-end coverage from measurement and CAD through to functional parts and production tooling, handled directly.

Design & Reverse Engineering

Parametric CAD modelling from scratch, from reference samples, or from existing drawings. Toleranced for fit, function, and the intended manufacturing process. Output includes STEP, native, and print-ready files.

Production Support

When prototypes are validated and volumes justify it, we manage the route to injection moulding or vacuum forming through our associated manufacturing company, same files, no re-brief.

Partner Access

Access to metal 3D printing (SLS, DMLS) and light industrial automation support, fixtures, sensor mounts, and structural housings for production line integration, through our partner network.

// 04 · Our manufacturing network

More than
a print shop.

Our associated manufacturing company extends our capability beyond 3D printing into full production processes. When your prototype is validated and volumes justify it, you don't need to find a new supplier or re-brief anyone - we handle the handoff to production tooling, and the same engineer stays on your project.

You work with us from the first print to the production run.
