3D Ortho Pro are proud to announce that all their 3d printed products including 8sole and Raptor Mask are made in the United Kingdom to give stability in costs and lead time for all our partners.

In December 2020, 3D Ortho Pro transferred manufacturing from the EU to the UK to simplify and stabilise our supply chain, giving our partners confidence that their orders for both 8sole and Raptor Mask products will be delivered within our promised turnaround.

Moving 8sole and Raptor Masks to the UK

The decision to relocate our manufacturing was not taken likely and 3D Ortho Pro has been looking for the right partner for over 2 years to make sure that quality and price were well managed in the process.

This move to the UK helps to strengthen our flexibility as we made sure we that security of logistics ensures that every 8sole or Raptor Mask is tracked and traced on its journey to the ordering partner.
