We sell the machines, and then we answer the phone
Fabinity is a UK retailer of 3D printers, 3D scanners, CNC machines, laser cutters and the materials that feed them. We are based in London, we ship across the UK, and we are an authorised reseller for Prusa, 3DMakerpro and SainSmart. We provide our published machine warranty and help with compatible parts, not a grey import.
What we do
Choose good machines, describe them honestly, and support them afterwards.
Buying a fabrication machine is a badly served purchase. The specifications are written for people who already own one, the price is often behind a form, and the honest answer to “will this do what I need?” is buried in a forum thread from three years ago.
So we do three things. We carry a deliberately short list of machines we would put our own name to. We write every specification twice - the manufacturer’s figure, and what that figure means for the thing you are actually trying to make. And when the machine arrives and something is wrong, you call 0208 064 0560 and speak to someone here.
We are not a single-brand shop. Different jobs are won by different machines, and a retailer that only sells one make will always tell you that make is the answer. We add manufacturers as we are satisfied they meet the standard below, and we will tell you when a machine we do not sell is the better fit for you.
Who it is for
Three quite different people buy from a shop like this, and they want opposite things from it.
People starting out
You want to know whether a machine fits on the desk and whether it will actually work on a Sunday afternoon. Every specification on this site is written twice - the figure, and what it means. "250 × 220 × 270 mm" is also "about the size of a shoebox".
People who print for a living
You already know what you need and want to stop being sold to. Full specifications, clear availability, clearly labelled VAT-inclusive prices, and a checkout that does not ask you to request a call back.
Workshops, studios and schools

How we choose what to sell
One question decides it: would we still be glad you bought this in two years?
It has to be repairable
Access to documented, compatible spare parts. A machine you cannot fix is a machine you replace, and that is your money, not ours.
The software has to be honest
Check each product’s software requirements, supported file formats and any separately licensed services before buying.
It has to survive real work
Compare working area, materials and duty requirements against the manufacturer’s published specifications.
The manufacturer has to stand behind it
A real warranty, a real support channel and a firmware history that shows the machine is still being looked after.
When you buy from us
Not aspirations. These are the terms already printed on the product pages and in the policies, gathered in one place.
- Manufacturer’s warranty
- On machines, with our UK support team helping you raise a claim and source compatible spare parts.
- 30-day returns
- Extending - never replacing - your 14-day statutory right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.
- Clearly labelled prices
- Consumer prices include VAT. The basket shows the amount due before payment.
- Tracked UK delivery
- Standard UK delivery is free, except on orders under £500 that include a 3D printer or 3D scanner, which pay £9.95. Prices include VAT. The figure the checkout charges is shown in your basket.
- Business and education enquiries
- Ask about suitable products and your purchasing requirements before ordering. Purchase orders, credit terms and discounts are not automatically offered.
What we won't do
Easier to judge a shop by than a list of things it promises.
We will not sell a machine we would not use
The catalogue is shorter than it could be. That is the point of it.
We will not hide the price
No "request a quote" wall in front of a figure we already know. If it is on the site, it has a price on it.
Clear availability, without the guesswork
Availability comes from our suppliers. We process your order, keep you updated and help with tracking and support.
We will not invent a specification
Every figure in a specification table comes from the manufacturer's own data. Where we add a plain-English note, it is marked as ours.

Talk to us
Before you buy as much as after. If you are not sure which machine fits the work, say what you are trying to make and we will tell you - including when the answer is one we do not sell.
