From concept
to component.
You don't need to come to us with a production-ready CAD file. From an existing part, concept or application requirement, our engineering team can help develop a manufacture-ready solution - design, CAD, prototype and production, under one roof.
Design that gets made.
Design work only has value if the part can be manufactured accurately and repeatably. Because the design and the machining happen in the same business, every decision is made with the process, the tooling and the production run in mind - not handed over and hoped for.
- Application-led
- Manufacturable
- Accurate
- Repeatable
- Cost-aware
- Documented
How a design develops.
Define
We start with the application - what the component has to do, where it sits, what it interfaces with and how it will be used.
Concept
Sketches, sample parts or an existing component are developed into a workable concept and 3D CAD model.
Design for Manufacture
Geometry, materials, tolerances and finishes are refined so the part can be made accurately, repeatably and economically.
Prototype & Produce
We machine prototypes, prove the design in the real application, then move into repeat production.
Concept Development
Turning an idea, sketch or requirement into a defined component that can actually be manufactured.
- Concept sketches to CAD
- Application-led design
- Component configuration
- Form, fit and function review
- Material and process selection
- Design options and comparison
3D CAD & Modelling
Manufacture-ready 3D models and production data created in-house, ready for machining or tooling.
- 3D CAD modelling
- Assembly modelling
- Manufacturing data
- Model updates and revisions
- CAD/CAM programming
- File format conversion
Reverse Engineering
No CAD, no supplier, no spares? We measure the existing part and rebuild it as an accurate, improvable model.
- Measurement of existing components
- Obsolete part recreation
- Legacy component redesign
- Wear and failure improvement
- Material upgrades
- Documented CAD for future runs
Design for Manufacture
Engineering review before the first cut - so the design suits the process, the volume and the budget.
- Manufacturability review
- Tolerance and fit review
- Cost-down engineering
- Part consolidation
- Tooling and fixturing input
- Production and volume planning
Prototyping
Physical parts in the intended material, tested in the real application before committing to production.
- Machined prototypes
- One-off components
- Design iterations
- Fit and function testing
- Pre-production samples
- Transition to repeat production
