We build physical models and prototypes to explore, prove and refine designs.
Early models, proof-of-principle prototypes, rapid prototypes, CNC parts, functional prototypes and low-volume builds.
RAPID PROTOTYPING
Our in-house capabilities include FDM and SLA prototyping, with many other rapid prototyping options available via our network of specialist prototyping partners.
CNC & PRECISION PROTOTYPES
We frequently design and build CNC machined prototypes this is often a better way to build representative funcitonal prototypes than rapid prototyping can deliver.
LOW VOLUME PROTOTYPE BATCHES
Our team are well-versed in low volume prototype manufacturing technologies, ranging from vacuum casting to batch CNC to rapid tooled injection moulding.
We can design bespoke parts and source off the shelf components to build highly representative batches of products for testing or marketing purposes.
VISUAL MODELS
No matter how good the render is, there’s no substitute for holding the design in your hands.
We can deliver highly accurate visual (functional or non-functional) models for a range of uses.
FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPES
We build functional prototypes to prove that mechanisms, assemblies or product systems work in practice.
These prototypes help test performance, expose failure modes, support user feedback and provide evidence for the next stage of development.
