Part and assembly design, for the process that will make them.
Parts and assemblies for injection moulding, die-casting, machining, sheet metal, composites or 3D printing. We deliver the complete models, or work alongside your design team, with manufacturing, cost and assembly considered from the first sketch.
From an agreed concept to the start of production.
Typically the product ideas have been generated and screened, the target market is set, a rough framework of cost and features exists, and there is a first commercial plan. From that point until serial production starts, we provide the engineering support needed to get there.
Our deepest expertise is in plastic parts and assemblies. For other processes we design to the process rules and work directly with the supplier who will make the part.
Processes we design for Injection moulding · Pressure die-casting · CNC machining · Sheet metal · Composites · Rubber parts · 3D printing
Complete design
We deliver production-ready 3D models, engineering drawings, fea/cfd analysis and complete reports with design specifications.
Support for your team
We review and advise your designers, so the parts they model can be made reliably and economically.
Design decisions that hold up in production.
Manufacturing process
Matching part specifications, complex features, and batch sizes to the most cost-effective and reliable manufacturing process.
Material
Evaluating material options through the lens of manufacturing capability, required tolerances, operational stress, environmental conditions, industry-specific standards, regulatory compliance, and total cost efficiency.
Parametric 3D models and drawings
Models with manufacturing accuracy, renders for visualisation, and engineering drawings
Engineering checks
Assembly verification, motion analysis, and structural analysis where the question needs it.
Structural analysis (FEA)Prototypes
Printed models for visualisation, functional printed prototypes in materials close to production, and very small lots from soft tools.
3D printingSourcing & Manufacturing Strategy
Evaluate make-vs-buy decisions (local vs. overseas manufacturing) and identify reliable suppliers for tools, raw materials and standard components.
From visual models to production tooling data.
Discuss your engineering problem.
Tell us what you are developing, changing or trying to fix. We first look at the engineering question, then say plainly what is worth doing: a calculation, a design review, a test, a simulation, or a combination.
