About VK3D
An engineering studio built around practical results.
VK3D is a design and additive manufacturing studio helping businesses, startups, and makers move from concept to finished part. Every project is handled by an engineer, so the design decisions behind your part are explained in plain language.
We keep the process simple: share what you need, review the design, approve the quote, and receive parts that fit the first time.
Engineering first
Designs built for manufacturing, not just for looks.
Fast turnaround
Quotes usually returned within one business day.
Quality checked
Dimensional checks before anything ships.
Direct contact
You speak with the person building your part.

Founder & Lead Design Engineer
Meet the owner
Akash Kharatmol
I started VK3D to close the gap between a good idea and a finished physical part. With a background in mechanical design and additive manufacturing, I stay involved in every project from first sketch to final delivery.
My focus is simple: give clients engineering-grade prototypes, clear timelines, and direct answers. No handoffs, no hidden steps, just practical work done right.
Hands-on founder
Involved in every design and build decision.
Client-first approach
Clear updates and fast turnarounds.
Engineering standards
Checked, measured, and repeatable.
What we do
Seven service areas, one accountable team.
Whether you need a model drawn, a part printed, or a batch produced, the work stays under one roof.
Rapid Prototyping
Fast physical iterations so you can test fit, form, and function before committing to tooling or production.
- Same week turnaround
- Iterative revisions
- Functional testing
Custom 3D Printing
Precision FDM and resin printing in engineering grade materials, printed to spec and finished by hand.
- PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA
- Nylon and carbon fibre
- Resin detail parts
Jigs and Fixtures
Shop floor tooling that removes guesswork, protects parts, and makes repeatable work faster and safer.
- Assembly aids
- Drill and weld guides
- Inspection fixtures
Low Volume Manufacturing
Bridge production runs from a single unit to a few hundred, with consistent quality on every batch.
- Batch runs
- Quality checks
- Repeat orders
Design Optimization and Engineering Support
Cost, weight, and strength improvements on existing parts, backed by practical engineering judgement.
- Weight reduction
- Cost per part analysis
- Failure review
Consultation
Straightforward advice on materials, processes, and timelines so your project starts on the right path.
- Material selection
- Process guidance
- Timeline planning
How it works
Four steps from brief to delivered part.
01
Brief
You share the goal, quantities, and deadline. We confirm scope in writing.
02
Design
CAD models and drawings are developed and reviewed with you before printing.
03
Build
Parts are printed in the chosen material with the right settings for the job.
04
Deliver
Every part is inspected, finished, and shipped with notes on care and reuse.
Portfolio
Real projects, and the thinking behind them.
Each project below shows the problem, the engineering approach, the materials, the process, and the outcome.
Parametric mounting bracket
The problem
A client needed a load bearing bracket redesigned to fit a new enclosure without new tooling.
Our approach
The part was rebuilt as a parametric model so hole patterns and lengths could be adjusted in minutes.
Materials
Carbon fibre reinforced nylon
Process
CAD modelling, FEA sanity check, printed test fit, final revision
Outcome
Fit confirmed on the first physical sample and 31 percent lighter than the original.
Pricing
Transparent starting points.
Final pricing depends on size, material, and print time. Every quote includes a clear breakdown before work begins.
Prototype
For a single part or a quick proof of concept.
From $75
- One printed part or small set
- Standard materials
- Basic finishing
- Email support

Testimonials
What clients say about working with VK3D.
The bracket redesign arrived exactly as specified and fit on the first try. Clear communication from quote to delivery.
We needed prototypes quickly and the turnaround was faster than expected without losing quality.
Genuinely helpful engineering advice on materials. It saved us money before we printed anything.
