Mechanical Design & Styling

We use SolidWorks 3D CAD to design all our mechanical components and assemblies. During the design process we can provide e-drawings which allow you to view the design from any angle on your PC so you can see how the product will look.

When the design is ready we can use our 3D printer to 'print' components in plastic so you can hold the product in your hand and review it with your own customers before committing to the cost of injection mould tooling. We also have access to a wide range of fabrication techniques to get those first prototypes off the drawing board and into the real world. Read our guide to rapid prototyping to find out more about the methods available.

When it comes to production, we can advise on the best materials and methods to get the mechanical properties and finish you need at the right cost, and find the right suppliers to get it into production.

We have our own CNC machining centre which allows us to produce prototypes in metal or plastic, milled from solid material. These are suitable for short production runs as well as for prototypes.
