BROKEN PARTS

Can a broken plastic part be 3D printed?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. The honest answer depends on shape, load, heat, fixing points, measurements and whether a printable model can be made. Send details for review before assuming it is suitable.

01

Good candidates

Simple covers, spacers, brackets, clips and housings may be worth reviewing.

02

Difficult candidates

Safety-critical, high-load, very hot, very thin or highly precise parts may not be sensible.

03

What helps

Photos, dimensions, the broken part, sketches and notes about how the part is used.
