A handle snaps, a shaft strips, a bracket cracks. The manufacturer does not stock spares, and replacing a working machine over one piece of plastic makes no sense. We measure or scan what is left, redraw it, and print it in a material chosen for the job. One part is a normal job, there is no minimum order.
Replacement parts →The accessory you want was never made for your bike, your boat or your machine, or the universal one never quite fits. We design it around the actual object rather than around an average of it.
Vehicle and marine parts →A photo, a sketch on a napkin, a hand-carved sample, or the original part itself. That is a better brief than most. We turn it into a model that can be made again, and again.
Reverse engineering →We love TechTribe! We needed a replacement for our food processor that was broken and is not available to buy. TechTribe made it for us and to be honest it is perfect quality, better than the original! It was done within a day! Very pleased and highly recommended! 5 stars
Great quality product. Above and beyond service. i highly recommend and will be using them again in the future
Excellent quality on the 3D printed parts and very fast delivery. I would definitely come back and highly recommend them.
Every project is scoped and quoted individually, because no two parts are the same. Tell us the problem, we will recommend the right approach.
From a sketch, photo or rough idea to a precise, print-ready 3D model, designed for the way it will actually be made and used.
