What we do.

For hobbyists, startups
and teams needing extra capacity.

Component development

Part design and development

Develop a component around its purpose, interfaces and manufacturing constraints.

Send us
What the component must do, where it fits and how it will be made.
We supply
Editable CAD, drawings and prototype work as required by the brief.

Assembly design

Fit and component interfaces

Design parts to work together, with attention to clearances, fasteners and the assembly sequence.

Send us
Existing parts, interface dimensions and assembly requirements.
We supply
Assembly CAD, a parts list and drawings, with fit and access checks.

Design analysis

Structural and flow studies

Use structural and flow analysis to inform design decisions. Establish loads, modelling assumptions and comparison data before selecting the study.

Send us
The geometry, operating conditions and the design question.
We supply
Analysis results, modelling assumptions and design recommendations.

Reverse engineering

CAD from existing parts

Reconstruct a component from accessible features and supplied measurements. Record which dimensions are measured and which need further checking.

Send us
The original part or dimensioned references, its function and the changes required.
We supply
Editable CAD and a record of measured features, assumptions and checks.

Prototyping

Physical models and checks

Build a physical prototype to check form, fit, assembly or a specific function.

Send us
The design and the question the prototype needs to answer.
We supply
A physical prototype and a record of checks and revisions.
