5 Best 3d Printing Shops in London (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

A cracked plastic hinge, a broken part for a vintage machine, a prototype that needs to exist before Monday's pitch: London's 3D printing shops solve problems most hardware stores can't. We pulled the real Google numbers on five of the city's most reviewed printing and fabrication businesses and ranked them on what customers actually report, with two important caveats explained below.

Short answer: 3DPRINTUK in Leyton leads with a perfect 5.0 rating across 129 reviews, running industrial MJF, SLS, and SAF printing at production scale. Both Champion 3D and Microworkshops 3D Printing post near-perfect 4.9 averages for smaller, one-off jobs. Two names further down this list, Charing Cross Print and Kall Kwik St James's, are commercial print shops rather than 3D printing specialists, worth knowing before you call.

3DPRINTUK

5.0129 Google reviews

3DPRINTUK runs an industrial 3D printing operation out of Leyton with what it describes as the largest MJF, SLS, and SAF production capacity in the UK, built for prototype work, low-volume batch manufacturing, and one-off part production rather than hobbyist desktop printing. The company also offers CAD design services alongside printing, and reviewers include hobbyists, small manufacturers, and at least one retiree building simulation equipment for trainee eye surgeons. Reviewers repeatedly mention the company owning up to and fixing its own errors without argument.

What people praise

  • Reprints and errors handled without pushback, reviewers specifically note being offered a discount then getting a full reprint anyway
  • Quality and finish described as second-to-none by a repeat commercial customer
  • Turnaround often faster than quoted
  • Handles unusual, highly specific one-off jobs, not just standard runs

Our take: 3DPRINTUK ranks first on a perfect 5.0 average across the deepest review base among the true 3D printing specialists here. If you need production-grade parts rather than a single hobby print, this is the strongest track record on the list.

Champion 3D

4.9103 Google reviews

Champion 3D is a 3D design and printing studio in Greenwich that pairs CAD design work with in-house printing, handling everything from replacement parts for broken household fittings to award-winning product design projects. Reviewers describe a genuinely consultative process, the team amends and corrects rough or amateur models before printing rather than printing a flawed file as-is, and turnaround on custom jobs is frequently a matter of days. The business leans into solving specific, sometimes obscure physical problems, a broken fly-screen handle, a cracked shower door hinge, rather than running standard catalogue prints.

What people praise

  • Team fixes and improves rough customer-submitted models before printing, not just a print-on-demand service
  • Fast turnaround repeatedly described as two to three days, sometimes a full day ahead of estimate
  • Solved specific replacement-part problems that reviewers couldn't source anywhere else
  • Instant online quote tool makes getting started simple

Our take: Champion 3D posts a 4.9 average just behind 3DPRINTUK, but on a smaller review base. Its specialty in fixing rough files and solving obscure replacement-part problems makes it the pick for anyone without a print-ready design already in hand.

Microworkshops 3D Printing

4.974 Google reviews

Microworkshops 3D Printing operates an SLA resin and FDM printing service from Islington, positioning itself on speed, a one-to-two working day turnaround it advertises as the fastest in the UK, alongside an instant online quoting tool that checks and repairs 3D files automatically. The business focuses on highly detailed prototypes and finished pieces, including resin art reproductions, rather than large industrial production runs. Reviewers consistently mention a named contact, Elliot, handling projects personally from quote through delivery.

What people praise

  • Turnaround consistently described as two days or less, even around the December holiday rush
  • Fine detail and finish on resin prints praised specifically for artwork reproduction
  • Personal, named point of contact throughout a project
  • Accurate mechanical parts printed to tight tolerances

Our take: Microworkshops ties Champion 3D at 4.9 but ranks third with the smallest review base of the true specialists, 74 against over 100 for the other two. Its speed advantage makes it the pick when a job genuinely needs a two-day turnaround.

Charing Cross Print

4.968 Google reviews

Charing Cross Print is a commercial printing business near Trafalgar Square, not a 3D printing shop despite appearing in this search, and its actual work covers signage, PVC boards, roller banners, packaging, and same-day print jobs like business cards and invitations. Reviewers describe fast turnaround on urgent print jobs, same-day PVC boards for a birthday party, a large signage order finished ahead of an event, and competitive pricing on bulk print runs. Anyone searching specifically for 3D printing should look to the first three names on this list instead.

What people praise

  • Same-day turnaround delivered on urgent print jobs more than once
  • Large signage and banner orders praised for quality and finish at an event
  • Competitive pricing repeatedly mentioned on bulk print orders
  • Responsive to last-minute requests, including one just before a deadline

Worth knowing

  • This is a commercial and digital print shop, not a 3D printing service, worth confirming before you call

Our take: Charing Cross Print earns a strong 4.9 average for what it actually does, fast commercial and digital printing, but it isn't a 3D printing business. It ranks here because it surfaced in the same search, not because it competes with the printers above.

Kall Kwik St James's

4.744 Google reviews

Kall Kwik St James's is a Westminster print and design shop, also not a 3D printing business, offering brochures, business cards, banners, leaflets, and same-day photocopying alongside branding and website design work for corporate clients. Reviewers describe a business geared mostly toward commercial print runs that still, in several cases, made time for small or unusual one-off requests. One reviewer specifically describes being turned away for a small copying job on a quiet day, worth knowing if you're after a quick, minor print rather than a business order.

What people praise

  • Went out of its way to support a small, non-commercial print request
  • Staff named repeatedly for helpfulness on urgent small jobs
  • Strong turnaround on standard business print orders
  • Same-day photocopying available for larger jobs

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer describes being turned away for a small copy job on a quiet day
  • This is a commercial print and design shop, not a 3D printing service

Our take: Kall Kwik posts a solid 4.7 average for standard commercial printing but, like Charing Cross Print, isn't a 3D printing shop. It ranks fifth here on a smaller, slightly mixed review record, and shoppers after an actual 3D print should use the top three names instead.

How we score London’s printing shops

Every figure here comes from each business’s live Google Business Profile, the star rating, review count, and how recently people are still reviewing it. We weigh rating against volume so a smaller, newer review base doesn’t automatically outrank a deeper, more established one. No business can pay to move up this list or change these numbers.

What does 3D printing cost in London? (2026)

3D printing prices depend heavily on material, print technology, SLA resin, FDM, or industrial MJF/SLS, part size, and finish quality, and none of these five businesses publish a flat rate we can cite with confidence. As a general rule, small resin prints cost less than industrial batch production, and rush turnaround adds a premium across the industry.

3D printing across London

These five businesses spread from Leyton in the east through Greenwich, Islington, and two central shops near Trafalgar Square and St James’s, so most of London has a reasonable option within a short trip. Just remember that a “3D printing shop near me” search can surface general print and copy shops alongside genuine 3D printing specialists, as it did here.

What to ask before you send a 3D printing job

  • Which print technology will they use, SLA resin, FDM, or industrial MJF/SLS, and why?
  • Do they check and repair your 3D file before printing, or print it exactly as submitted?
  • What’s the realistic turnaround for your part size and material?
  • Is there a minimum order, and does pricing change for a single one-off part versus a batch?
  • Can they match a specific tolerance if the part needs to fit another component?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data, the live rating, review count, and how recently people are still reviewing each business. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these five businesses?

We reviewed every business on Google Maps in London that surfaces for 3D printing searches with a meaningful review history, then ranked them on a combination of rating, review volume, and recency.

How often is this updated?

We refreshed this list in July 2026 using live Google ratings and review counts.

Are Charing Cross Print and Kall Kwik St James’s actually 3D printing shops?

No. Both are commercial and digital print businesses, signage, banners, business cards, that appeared in this search. For genuine 3D printing, use 3DPRINTUK, Champion 3D, or Microworkshops 3D Printing.

Which of these handles industrial-scale production runs?

3DPRINTUK is the only one of the five built for larger-scale MJF, SLS, and SAF batch production rather than one-off or small-run prints.

The bottom line

For an industrial-grade or production-scale job, 3DPRINTUK has the strongest track record on this list. For a single custom part or a rough file that needs fixing before it can print, Champion 3D is the more hands-on choice, and if speed matters most, Microworkshops turns work around in as little as a day or two.
