Spare parts 3D printing

Spare parts 3D printing — restore parts without waiting or overpaying

A broken gear in a food processor, a cracked shelf bracket, a lost cap from a washing machine — sound familiar? Original spare parts are often unreasonably expensive, take weeks to arrive and are sometimes discontinued altogether. 3D printing spare parts solves this problem once and for all: you get an exact copy of the part you need within days and at an affordable price.

Our spare parts 3D printing service in Ukraine helps owners of household appliances, repair technicians, manufacturers and car owners get equipment working again without unnecessary costs. We take orders online, print from your 3D model and ship finished parts by Nova Poshta all over the country. From small plastic pieces to complex mechanical components, we print spare parts that perform just as well as the originals.

Which spare parts can be printed

FDM printing can produce a wide range of plastic parts that used to be available only from the manufacturer. These are the most popular types of spare parts we print:

• Household appliance parts — gears, handles, buttons, holders, feet, end caps, trays and containers for washing machines, dishwashers, food processors, meat grinders, coffee machines and other appliances.
• Furniture components — shelf brackets, connectors, feet, drawer rollers, hinges, wardrobe rail holders, latches and other small but critical parts.
• Adapters and converters — custom adapters between different mounting standards, hose adapters, couplings, non-standard fittings and accessory mounts.
• Tool parts — clamps, grips, guides, protective covers, handles and ergonomic attachments for hand and power tools.
• Car parts — trim clips, sensor holders, blanking plugs, brackets, glovebox organisers and other non-structural interior plastic parts.

Materials for functional spare parts

For spare parts that work under load, the choice of material is especially important:

• PETG — the all-round choice for most spare parts. It has high mechanical strength, resists impacts and isn’t brittle even at low temperatures. It withstands temperatures up to 80°C, which matters for parts of appliances that heat up in use. PETG also resists most household chemicals and doesn’t degrade under UV.
• TPU — on request: a flexible material for seals, gaskets, dampers and protective bumpers — parts that need to absorb impacts.
• PLA — suits parts with minimal mechanical load: handles, buttons, decorative elements, end caps. It gives the best surface quality and dimensional accuracy.

The cost of a 3D-printed spare part compared with the original

In most cases, 3D printing a spare part costs much less than buying the original. The savings are especially noticeable for parts of discontinued appliances, imported components with long delivery times and small plastic parts that manufacturers only sell as part of a kit. You also save time — instead of waiting weeks for delivery, you get the part in 1–3 days.

Send us a 3D model of the part, and we’ll quote the printing and suggest the best material for your case.
