About Additive-X

Previously known as Express Group Ltd and then GoPrint3D, we renamed to Additive-X in 2020 – a demonstration of our commitment to growing as an additive manufacturing company. Our roots lie in printer spare parts and repair, as well as a commitment to providing flexible customer service, reliable technical support, and training that goes above and beyond.

But our latest vision is to democratise the manufacturing industry by providing small and large-scale additive manufacturing solutions. It’s our firm belief that 3D printing has the power to reshape the manufacturing landscape, empowering businesses and individuals alike to realise their creative goals.

Who are we?

Founded in 1988 by four friends with £5000 and a second-hand Volvo, we were first known as Express Terminals, the printer repair specialists. We then incorporated 3D printing into our repertoire in 2013. And today, with over 30 years of experience in the business of spare parts and repair, we have evolved into a trusted partner for our customers, enabling them to effectively manufacture their own replacement parts and prototypes.

We take pride in representing renowned brands like Markforged, Formlabs, and Bambu Lab – we’re committed to partnering with manufacturers who share our values. With an extensive portfolio of additive manufacturing solutions, we can offer expert advice to help our customers navigate the diverse landscape of printing options.

Whether you require jigs, fixtures, fittings, artistic creations, medical devices, models, figurines, or more, we have the expertise, experience, and technology to meet your additive manufacturing needs – either by printing the parts for you ourselves, or by assisting you to do so at home or in the workplace. Whether its filament, advice about 3D printing, printing parts as a service, or supplying you the printers themselves, Additive-X are here to help.
