Product Design & Development

Applying our skills in industry standard CAD software and design, we can develop your models to a very high standard, including concept development, DFM and tolerancing. Following through we can also develop prototypes, small and/or full scale depending on the product, to test how the design works in the real world.

Product and OEM Design

Utilizing our skills in mechanical design, we will develop manufacturing drawings for individual parts or assemblies as per the customer spec. We are willing and able to develop design from the ground up or modify/existing designs for our customers. This service is available to consumers and B2B. This option works best for those who wish outsource their design work but want to manage their own projects.

We can also analyse your design concept (anything from sketches to beautiful renders) and flesh it out from a functional perspective and finding the optimal balance between what looks well and what works well, in addition to DFM (design for manufacture) to help reduce production cost.

Product Prototyping

If you’re not sure about the design, we offer an optional 3D printed prototype for you to see, feel & hopefully test before committing to the real thing (CNC milling available soon).

Rapid prototyping of all parts and products is available as part of our design service, for more information about our prototyping capabilities, please see our rapid prototyping page.

Upon request we can reverse engineer a part or assembly. A client may wish to have this done for various reasons, e.g., they wish to replace a product or part that is no longer available.

This service involves measuring the part(s)/assembly, discovering how it works and recreating the product with CAD (with the purpose of being able to physically reproduce the product), from which the customer can decide how to proceed. Technical documentation included as standard. We can also arrange delivery of the product to your premises to save you the hassle. Before committing to machining, we can send a 3D printed prototype to your premises to check the fit or test any modified geometry.

(Note: Shipping/courier costs may apply, please call, email or submit and inquiry for more details; All reverse engineering orders will be assessed for risk of patent and copyright infringement. Please consult your local IP authority before sending your enquiry.)
