Sublimation
If you have ever wanted to try sublimation without the set up costs then look no further. We are equiped with free craft tools and equipment for sublimation including digital design software, an A4 sublimation printer, 15″ x 15″ clam shell heat press, A4 swing away heat press and a large sublimation oven with mug wraps. All you need to do is supply your own sublimation paper (or buy from us) and your own blanks/items to sublimate on.
The process of sublimation requires special coatings so you need to make sure that any blanks are sublimation blanks. If you are sublimating onto material or clothing you will need to use material with at least 70% polyester count. The higher the polyester count the better the item will sublimate.
Please note that normal sublimation does not work on dark colours, however there are specialist materials that will allow you to do this.
Laser Cutting
We have a large 100W laser cutter with a bed size of 600 mm x 400mm which is also part of our free craft tools and equipment range. We are able to laser cut and engrave sheets of MDF, laser ply and acrylic, however for health and safety reasons all materials used must be purchased via ourselves.
Model Making
You supply the materials, we supply the free craft tools and equipment. We have a variety of Proxxon tools and other equipment for model making and diorama building along with specialist glues and paints. We also have a large range of kits available to purchase seperately.
3D Printing
We have a bank of 3D printers which are also part of our free craft tools and equipment range so let your creativity and design skills run free. The only cost involved here is for the filament or resin which is calculated via the software.
