Manufacturing
Parts by CNC machining, 3D printing, moulding and sheet metal, made through our manufacturing partners.

- You send
- Drawings, models, quantities and any finishing or inspection requirements
- You get back
- Parts to your tolerances and quality standards, from one-off items to batch production
Processes
We match each part to the process that suits its material, quantity and tolerances.
- CNC machining
- 3D printing in plastics, resins, metals and composites
- Injection moulding
- Sheet metal: laser cutting, bending and welding
One team from drawing to part
Because we produce the drawings and models, questions from the supplier come back to the engineers who made them, and changes go into the drawing pack before the next batch.
From prototype to production
Parts can move from prototype to short runs and production using the same CAD and process data.
