At Buzzprints, we’re more than just a 3D printing service—we’re a growing community inspired by Manchester’s iconic worker bee, symbolising teamwork, hard work, friendship and innovation. Our mission is to empower makers, innovators, imagineers and creators to turn bold ideas into reality with cutting-edge 3D printing solutions. Whether you’re a gamer, a local business, or a hobbyist, we’re here to ignite your creative spark and shape the future, one idea at a time.
Our Story
Buzzprints began as a late-night hobby in the cupboard under the stairs (upstairs bedroom), where we discovered our passion for 3D printing. Our day job is in the hospitality industry, Oliver as the sous chef, Mark the barman and myself as the head chef. Bringing diverse skills to the table. After long hours we thought “may aswell exhaust ourselves some more” and do something more exciting than our regular day job. We’ve dedicated ourselves to our start-up Buzzprints and we will continue to learn and improve upon our understanding of 3D printing and design. What started as a personal project has evolved into a dream to build a 3D printing business in Manchester.
Our Vision
We aim to create a hive where creativity thrives. With your support, we’re raising £5,000 to acquire more professional 3D printers, materials, and launch our online store. Our goal is to eventually develop a 3D printing farm to meet demand, and have on site educational workshops and resources to help other start up businesses, we aim to help other creators develop their 3D printing and design software skills, to bring their visions to life. At Buzzprints, we believe in creating without limits—join us on this journey!
