More than a print
An idea.
A practical solution.
Whether you need a replacement component, a one-off build, or a product brought to life, start with the problem and we’ll work through the possibilities & solutions.
CAD, product development & reverse engineering
Turn a sketch, reference part, broken component or set of measurements into a practical digital design. Fit, mounting points and real-world use all shape the model.
Reverse engineering · Replacement components · Product concepts
3D printing & prototyping
Get a physical part in your hands so you can check dimensions, try the fit and see what needs refining. Already have a model? Send it through for a print assessment.
One-off prints · Fit-check prototypes · Functional parts
Custom parts & fabrication
From functional printed parts to metal and automotive fabrication, NHP can develop practical builds around the demands of the job.

Small-batch production
Once the prototype is approved, move into a repeat order. Quantities, finish and lead time are agreed around your project, with room to refine the design as it develops.

How it's made
Design. Print.
Test. Refine.
From CAD to final fitment, each part is developed around how it will actually be used. Real prototypes and real testing drive the final result.

Custom development
Need a part that doesn't exist?
Send a photo, sketch, broken component or explanation. NHP can work from a reference and develop a practical replacement or custom solution.
Production capability
Prototype first. Scale when it works.
Commercial projects can move from CAD and prototypes into repeatable small-batch production once the design has been proven.
The person behind the parts
Hi, I’m Nate.
Let’s make it work.
Practical solutions. Custom results.
I’m Nate, the person behind NHP & Design — a New Zealand business focused on turning practical ideas into well-made, useful parts.
I design and produce everything from workshop storage and battery caddies to automotive replacement pieces and custom commercial products. While the product range is growing, the approach stays the same: understand what the part needs to do, design it properly, and make something that holds up in real use.
You’ll deal directly with me from the first conversation through to the finished result. Whether you have a clear idea, a broken part that needs replacing, or simply a problem that needs solving, I’ll give you an honest answer, talk through the options, and work towards a solution that is right for the job.
Tell me about your idea ↗Before we get started
A few useful
answers.
Do I need a finished design?
No. A photo, rough sketch, broken part or explanation is a useful starting point. Include measurements where you can and explain how the part will be used.
Can you print a file I already have?
Send your model through with the quantity and intended use. I’ll assess whether it’s suitable to print and flag any changes needed before quoting.
Can you replace a broken or unavailable part?
Often, a reference part and measurements can be used to develop a replacement. Send clear photos of the part and where it fits so we can discuss the options.
Which material should I choose?
That depends on the job. Let me know about heat, sunlight, moisture, load and how the part attaches. We’ll discuss material and design options around those requirements.
How much will my custom project cost?
Custom work is quoted individually. Design complexity, revisions, material, print time, finishing and quantity all affect the price. A clear brief helps me put together a useful estimate.
Can I order just one part or a larger batch?
Both one-off work and small batches are welcome. For a new design, starting with a prototype gives you a chance to check the fit before committing to more.
What is the turnaround time?
Timing depends on the design work, quantity and current workload. Include any deadline in your enquiry so I can confirm what’s achievable before you commit.
From concept to creation
Have something in mind?
Tell me what you're trying to make, replace or improve. Send a few photos or a sketch, approximate measurements, the quantity you need and any deadline. Let me know where the part will be used, too.
