Xenotype helps inventors, startups and businesses turn sketches, broken parts and product ideas into CAD models, prototypes and manufacture-ready designs.

What we do

Engineering services for first prototypes and real products.

CAD Design

Fusion 360 / Inventor modelling, clean STEP files, assemblies and drawings.

Reverse Engineering

Recreate discontinued, broken or missing parts from measurements and photos.

3D Printing

Functional prototypes, brackets, housings, jigs, fixtures and low-volume parts.

Product Development

Concept refinement, prototype testing, design for manufacture and supplier-ready files.

Simple process

Send the idea. We build the route.

01. Send photos, sketch, dimensions or problem.

02. We quote CAD, prototype and print options.

03. You receive prototype parts plus STL/STEP files.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What files should I send?

STEP, STP and STL files are preferred. You can also send ZIP, PDF, JPG or PNG files if you only have drawings, photos or sketches. Current in-house build volume is 256 × 256 × 260 mm.

Can you quote without a CAD file?

Yes. Send clear photos, dimensions, drawings or sketches and we can advise on CAD modelling, reverse engineering or prototyping.

What is the maximum print size?

Current in-house print volume is 256 × 256 × 260 mm. Larger parts may be split, assembled, or quoted through a large-format manufacturing partner.

Do you only offer 3D printing?

No. Xenotype offers 3D printing, CAD design, reverse engineering, product development and manufacturing support.

How fast will I receive a quote?

We aim to respond within 24 hours where the files and project details are clear.

Are my files confidential?

Yes. Submitted models, drawings and project details are treated as confidential.

How do I send large files?

Use WeTransfer and email the download link to xenotype.uk@gmail.com. You can also zip multiple files together before sending.
