Ship models, workshop fixtures and prototypes for Bhavnagar and the Alang coast
Bhavnagar sits on the Gulf of Khambhat, with the Alang-Sosiya ship-breaking yard about 50 km away, diamond cutting and polishing units, plastics, salt and marine chemicals nearby. Layer X makes the small, specific things such businesses ask for: a ship or yard model for a presentation, a tray or holder for a diamond workshop, a prototype for a plastics product, a student project part. Our studio is at 204, Iscon Emporio, Satellite, Ahmedabad, about 170 km from Bhavnagar. There is no office in Bhavnagar; work is made in Ahmedabad and couriered or collected.

What we make
Ship and shipyard models
Printed hulls, superstructures and plot layouts for firms linked to Alang-Sosiya or marine services, mounted on a laser-cut acrylic base with a clear cover.
Diamond-workshop trays and holders
Printed sorting trays, holders and simple jigs for cutting and polishing units, sized to your tools and reorderable in batches.
Plastics product prototypes
Looks-like and works-like samples for plastics makers, so the shape and fit are approved before an injection mould is ordered.
Corrosion-aware fixtures and covers
Covers, caps and holders for coastal, salt and marine-chemical settings, in a plastic chosen for what it will be exposed to.
College project parts
Mechanisms, mounts and models for final-year engineering projects, printed once and refined as the design improves.
Who we make it for
- Ship-recycling and marine-services firms around Alang who want vessel or plot models for presentations
- Diamond-workshop owners in Bhavnagar who need trays, holders and small jigs
- Plastics-product makers who want prototypes before a mould is made
- Salt and marine-chemicals units that need chemical-resistant fixtures and covers, with material checked first
- Students at the Government Engineering College Bhavnagar and local colleges working on projects

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have an office in Bhavnagar?
No. Layer X has one studio, at 204, Iscon Emporio, Jodhpur Cross Roads, Satellite, Ahmedabad, about 170 km from Bhavnagar. Work is made there and then couriered, or collected.
Can you make a ship model?
Yes. We print hulls and fittings in sections, join them and mount them on a laser-cut base with a cover. Send the general arrangement or CAD and the level of detail you want. It is a display model, not a working one.
Are printed parts suitable near the coast and salt?
It depends on the part. Plastics do not rust, but sun, heat and chemicals still matter. Tell us the exposure and we will advise on material or say plainly if it is the wrong tool.
We run a diamond workshop. What can you print?
Trays, holders, rests and small jigs are typical. Send a sample or measurements; we print in nylon or resin and can reprint the same design in batches.
How long to get something to Bhavnagar?
Make time depends on process: SLA 2-4 days, FDM 3-5 days, SLS 4-6 days, laser cutting 7-14 days. Courier transit time to Bhavnagar is confirmed with your quote.
