Services
3D Product Design
We create precision 3D product designs from concept to production using SolidWorks. Our process includes feasibility studies, concept development, and detailed engineering drawings. Clients benefit from market-ready solutions optimised for manufacturability and performance in sectors like medical devices and consumer electronics.
Mechanical Design
Our mechanical design services focus on robust components for injection moulding, sheet metal, and machined parts. We ensure designs meet functional requirements while optimising cost-efficiency. Clients receive fully tolerance-analysed solutions with unambiguous manufacturing data compliant with BS8888 standards.
Value Engineering
We analyse products and processes to identify cost-saving opportunities without compromising quality. This includes redesigning components for efficient manufacture and sourcing specialised suppliers. Clients achieve improved functionality and reduced production costs through our systematic approach.
Reverse Engineering
We create detailed digital models and manufacturing documentation from existing products. Our process includes component analysis, re-engineering for improved performance, and production-ready documentation packs. Clients gain enhanced designs and streamlined manufacturing workflows for obsolete or legacy systems.
Prototyping
Our in-house 3D printing produces functional prototypes for testing and validation. We use advanced technologies to create proof-of-concept models and low-volume production parts. Clients benefit from rapid iteration cycles and accelerated time-to-market for their product development projects.
