From 3D Printing to Manufacturing - RS makes 3D Design affordable!

3D printer and 3D CAD software now available for only £954!

3D printing has been around for over 20 years, it used to be unaffordable, highly technical, and limited to industrial applications, such as; Automotive, Aerospace, Military, and Medical. However, over the last few years things have changed, 3D Printing is now used in general product design involving 3D prototyping, and also more creative ventures.

Desktop 3D Printing triggered this evolution, and the application possibilities are endless! The industrial segment still plays a major role in the application of 3D printing, and rapid-prototyping is becoming very important.

At RS we want to level the playing field. We want every engineer, including those in tech start-ups and small engineering firms, students and hobbyists alike, to be able to adopt 3D design and printing, with full capacity at the lowest possible cost.

Therefore, RS now offers an FDM 3D Printer and a CAD software bundle for only £954. You now save £596  when you buy the 3D Printer and DesignSpark Mechanical Add-on bundle together. 

  • Ideal starter kit for non-CAD Engineers
  • Full benefits of CAD without the need for CAD experience
  • An effective shortcut for innovation without the cost

The RS IdeaWerk 3D Printer and DesignSpark Mechanical Add-on bundle is available in all markets apart from Japan. For Japan we offer the DesignSpark Mechanical Add-on together with the MUTOH MF-500 3D Printer (see below).
