3D DESIGN

3D design services, built around your brief

We use CAD, scripting and AI-assisted tools to develop and check designs against agreed requirements. We Glow Up is responsible for the work delivered. Digital design enquiries are welcome from across the UK; physical samples and printing are quoted separately.

Design a simple part

Organisers, holders, covers, trays and simple enclosures. Give us the critical dimensions and explain how the object will be used.

Change an existing model

Ask about a resize, a new opening or a change to a model you have permission to modify. Editable source files usually give us more options than an STL alone.

Develop a prototype

Explore shape, layout and assembly before committing to a batch. We agree the number of parts, revisions and checks at the start.

Digital design enquiries from outside the UK.

Overseas enquiries are welcome for review. Tell us your country, timezone, intended use and required output files. We agree availability, payment currency, file formats and digital delivery before accepting a project. Quotes are in GBP unless agreed otherwise.

Physical samples, printing and overseas shipment are separate matters. Overseas physical delivery is not confirmed by this page or the enquiry form. Please include your destination so we can review what is possible before any work is accepted.

Clear steps. No guesswork.

  4. Deliver or prototypeReceive the agreed files or arrange a print.

Before we start

What files will I receive?

We agree formats in the quote. Typically this includes an STL for printing, preview images and a dimension summary. STEP and editable source are included only where specified and supported by the chosen modelling workflow.

Can you work from a photograph?

A photo can explain the idea but does not reliably establish dimensions. Include measurements, several views and details of any parts it needs to fit.

Are revisions included?

The quote states the number of revision rounds and what they cover. Changes to the original scope are agreed separately before more work begins.

Will the first print fit?

Digital checks do not prove physical fit. Mating parts, clips and enclosures may need a tolerance sample or test print. Physical testing is a separate stage unless included in the quote.

Can I enquire about digital design from outside the UK?

Yes. Send your country, timezone, measurements and required output files. We review overseas enquiries individually. Availability, payment currency, file formats and digital delivery arrangements are agreed before accepting a project. Quotes are in GBP unless agreed otherwise.

Can you ship a printed sample or palette overseas?

Overseas physical shipment is not confirmed through this service. Tell us your country and intended use so we can review the request; do not assume a physical delivery is available. Printing and samples are quoted separately from digital design. Palette payment and reservations remain closed while launch checks are completed.
