Services
Model Making
We produce industrial, conceptual, and scale models using traditional craftsmanship, vacuum casting, CNC machining, and rapid prototyping. Our expertise ensures cost-effective, high-precision models for sectors like aerospace and automotive. Clients benefit from rapid turnaround times and finishes meeting exacting industry standards.
CNC Machining
With 11 CNC milling machines, we machine parts from metals like aluminium and titanium to plastics. Using client 3D CAD files, we deliver complex components with tight tolerances. Our capabilities support prototyping and production across industrial sectors requiring material versatility and dimensional accuracy.
Creative Form Development
Our team guides clients through rapid prototyping processes to achieve functional, aesthetically precise forms. We specialise in translating conceptual ideas into physical models, optimising designs for manufacturability while maintaining creative integrity and technical feasibility.
Pattern Making
We create high-quality patterns and tooling for composite mouldings and production processes. Our patterns ensure accuracy in downstream manufacturing, supporting industries requiring repeatable, scalable solutions with minimal material waste and maximum efficiency.
Prototyping
From initial concepts to functional prototypes, we support product development cycles with iterative testing models. Our prototyping services reduce time-to-market through rapid iteration, material testing, and validation of mechanical and aesthetic requirements.
