Brodie
Join a new kind of force
At Brodie, we believe patriotism isn’t just sentiment, it’s service. Named after the iconic helmet worn by British soldiers, our mission is rooted in honour, innovation, and national resilience.We're building a distributed network of 3D printers across the UK, forming a responsive manufacturing force ready to serve the needs of the British military and allied institutions. Whether it’s rapid prototyping, parts replacement, or emergency field equipment, our community prints with purpose.

The helmet has evolved. So has the mission.
In 1915, John Leopold Brodie gave the British soldier a fighting edge with a stamped steel helmet. Today, we honour that spirit by stamping out delays, shortages, and dependency. Join Brodie—and be the cutting edge of defence, made in Britain.

This is your chance to make with meaning, to be part of a community that values innovation, craftsmanship, and country.Together, we’re building a modern force that’s as agile and precise as the machines we run.

Trusted by those who serve
When it comes to defence, trust is earned—and Brodie earns it by delivering where it matters most. From the field to the fleet to the flight line, our distributed 3D printing network is being recognised by those who understand the value of speed, precision, and resilience.Here’s what members of the UK’s armed forces have to say about Brodie’s mission:
"Brodie’s network gives us back agility. It's the kind of capability I wish we'd had on tour. I’m proud to support it now, back home."
Captain James R. (Retired), British Army
"The idea that a component can be printed on demand by someone in Liverpool or Portsmouth? That’s revolutionary. Brodie is changing how we think about logistics at sea."
Lieutenant Commander Sarah K., Royal Navy
"Air superiority isn’t just about aircraft—it’s about readiness. Brodie helps ensure that even the smallest part doesn’t ground a mission."
Flight Sergeant Tom L., Royal Air Force
