Our approach
Start with the function. Build the design around it.
Marischal Design was created to combine long-standing engineering experience with professional 3D printing, modern CAD and additive manufacturing.
We design and 3D print our own range of practical products, while also helping customers recreate parts, develop concepts, prototype ideas and produce functional components in repeat batches.
Being a small business is an advantage for the type of work we do. The person discussing the requirement is closely involved in how the part is designed and manufactured.
Explore 3D printing & engineering How we think
Practical engineering principles.
The aim is not to make a part complicated. The aim is to make it work, make it manufacturable and make it appropriate for the job.
Design for manufacture
Geometry is developed around the material and process rather than treated as an afterthought.
Iterate where needed
Prototyping allows fit and function to be checked before committing to the final design.
Keep communication direct
Clear technical conversations and realistic expectations from the start of the project.
Work with us
Need something designed, recreated or manufactured?
Send us the problem, photographs, measurements or your existing CAD file and we’ll review what is practical.
