Engineered for the Edge

At Prototal UK, precision is a mandate, not an option. Our facilities in Newbury operate under a comprehensive framework of industrial and security certifications designed for the world’s most demanding supply chains. Our baseline is established by ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), but for our elite partners, we go much further:

• Aerospace & Defense: We are certified to AS/EN 9100, the gold standard for aviation, space, and defense organizations. This ensures total traceability and the rigorous risk management required for flight-ready and mission-critical hardware.
• Medical Technology: Our ISO 13485 certification governs the production of medical devices, ensuring that our additive processes meet the stringent safety and regulatory requirements of the healthcare sector.
• Defense Accreditation: We are JOSCAR registered—the Joint Supply Chain Accreditation Register used by the UK Ministry of Defence. This pre-qualification proves we are “fit for business” in the most secure environments.
• Digital Security: In the era of digital manufacturing, protecting your IP is paramount. We hold the UK Government-backed Cyber Essentials certification, ensuring our technical infrastructure is guarded against cyber threats and your CAD data remains secure.

Whether you are competing in Motorsport Valley or fulfilling a strategic defense contract, our Stirling and Newbury hubs provide the documented integrity and “zero-fail” assurance your project demands.

For our serial production partners who require the highest level of documentation and risk mitigation, we offer PPAP (Production Part Approval Process). This ensures that every component is manufactured to your exact specifications through a validated and repeatable process.

Through our British facilities, you have full access to our global manufacturing ecosystem. we can provide every material and technology listed in our Industrial 3D Printing section, backed by our network of 130+ systems across Europe.

However, for projects requiring maximum agility and our 2-day lead time, we maintain a specialised local 3D Printing fleet in Newbury & Stirling:

SLS (Selective Laser Sintering): The industrial standard for robust, functional parts and complex geometries without the need for support structures.

• PA 2200
• PA 3200 GF
• PA 2241 FR
• PA 603-CF

FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling): Ideal for durable jigs, fixtures, and functional prototypes using high-performance engineering thermoplastics.

• Ultem (9085 & 1010)
• Polycarbonate (PC)
• PC/ABS
• PC-ISO
• ABS (ESD7, M30 & M30i)
• ASA
• SR-30
• PEKK & PEKK-ESD
• PEEK & Carbon PEEK
• Carbon PA
• PA 12 CF
• Polypropylene (PP)
• And other engineering materials

DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering): The elite solution for flight-ready and race-ready metal components, capable of producing complex internal geometries and lightweight structures that are impossible to achieve through traditional machining.

• Aluminium (AlSi10Mg)
• Titanium (Ti6Al4v)
• Stainless Steel 316L*

*Subcontracted materials

For Post-Processing we offer Vapour Smoothing, Dyecoloring, Vibratory Finishing, Painting & Inserts.

Yes, absolutely. While our facilities in Newbury and Stirling are specialised in high-velocity additive manufacturing and Metal 3D Printing, we are your direct gateway to the full Prototal Group ecosystem — including an extensive automated injection moulding machine park and dedicated vacuum casting center across Europe.

The primary benefit for you is continuity. You keep your dedicated UK contact person who already understands your business, your quality requirements, and your technical history. We handle all the cross-border coordination and logistics behind the scenes, ensuring you get the industrial scale of a European leader with the personal service and accountability of a local partner.
