Reach out for detailed insights on how we can help bring your projects to life.
Product Design
Techical Engineering Solutions
What CAD software do you use ?
We use both SolidWorks and Autodesk – Fusion 360 CAD Software.
However we have knowledge using a wide range of different software packages, contact us to discuss your specific project needs.
How long will my project take to complete ?
Small changes made to an existing design typically:
– 1 day to 1 week.
New idea you want to design/ develop typically:
– 1 week to 1 month.
3D Printing Parts
Under 1kg- 1 week turnaround.
Over 1kg – 2 weeks turnaround.
Can you post my parts to my home or business address ?
Yes, we provide a delivery service on all 3D printed components/ prototypes.
We can deliver to anywhere in the world.
We use signed for delivery only.
What type of 3D printing do you offer?
We offer a FDM 3D Printing service (the most affordable & popular type of 3D printing).
We have 5 FDM printers in our purpose build temperature controlled print shop. We have capacity to handle small one off parts was well as large batch orders.
Contact us today for a quotation.
How much will my 3D Printed part cost ?
The total price of 3D printed parts is calculated by part weight – The cost is 30p per gram.
This takes into account overhead cost of 3D Print filament, electricity, machine consumables etc.
What is the maximum size of part i can print ?
The maximum size part that can be printed in one part is:
250 x 250 x 250mm.
However we commonly split parts and assemblies into multiple smaller printable parts that are easily glued together to produce much larger parts and assemblies.
What 3D Scanning technology/solutions do you offer ?
We have the latest in house 3D scanning hardware and software as well as third party reverse engineering software. We are also resellers of Einscan 3D Scanners and Quicksurface Reverse Engineering Software.
3D Scanning technology is extremely useful for capturing complex geometry, with organic splines and curvature (for example a car body panel). These objects are often very difficult and time consuming to capture using traditional hand measuring techniques.
We have scanned a wide range of components for our clients from small assembly fixtures to large boats and sculptures.
Investment in these technologies can reduce project times by up to 80%, while at the same time achieving vastly more accurate cad models (0.2mm accuracy average). Ensuring a right first time result is achieved – every time.
Training available upon request. Contact us to discuss you individual project requirements.
