About Barras3D

Barras3D is an offshoot to our sister company Barras-Blades. Both are run by myself, Paul Allison. I am ex-merchant navy engineering officer who then fell into the world of oil and gas as an engineer. After redundancy I took a hobby of knife sharpening into a business of sharpening anything. While getting the sharpening business up and running I was disappointed by the lack of tools and innovation.

Skills and knowledge in 3D printing grew from the chicken and egg situation I found himself in. Frustrated by a lack of skills in CAD which mean I couldn’t easily get stuff made using digital fabrication like CNC etc. I felt the way to force myself to learn was to throw money at the problem so I bought a 3D printer. Now having what would be an expensive paperweight if i didn’t learn pushed me to learn.

Once it clicked i discovered it was a wonderful fast and simple method to get stuff made.

Alot of these tools and solutions I made related to the worlds of sharpening and dog grooming.

Demand grew for two products the Blade buddy and the McRideline.

Selling these via my existing sharpening website started to bring some conflicts of interest so barras 3D was launched as a stand alone business
