From a sketch or an idea through to a manufacturable, market-ready product. CAD, design for manufacture, 3D scanning and end-to-end project support backed by chartered engineering expertise.
MEng-level engineering management combined with hands-on CNC, 3D scanning and additive manufacture experience.
Concept through to production-ready drawings and BOM. We can join at any stage and carry you through to the end.
3D models, 2D drawings, DXF files, DFM reports and full specifications delivered to your requirements.
Taking an idea from concept to a product that can be reliably manufactured and sold requires more than CAD skills. It requires an understanding of materials and processes, design for manufacture principles, tolerance analysis, supplier capabilities and cost engineering. That’s what chartered engineering brings to product development.
Whether you’re starting from a sketch, a reference product, or an existing design that needs improvement, we work through the full development cycle from initial feasibility and concept exploration through detailed design, drawing release and production support.
Where physical objects need to be reverse engineered legacy parts, competitor products, worn tooling 3D scanning provides accurate geometry capture to feed back into the CAD process without starting from scratch. The result is a clean, parametric model ready to modify and manufacture.
Product development rarely ends at the design stage. We support the full journey from concept through to launch joining at whatever stage makes sense for your project.
Six core capability areas, each underpinned by chartered engineering expertise and in-house production equipment.
Fully parametric 3D models built for manufacturability from day one. Structured so they can be updated as requirements change not locked into one configuration. Suitable for CNC machining, injection moulding, sheet metal, additive manufacture and joinery.
Accurate geometry capture from physical parts where drawings don’t exist. Ideal for legacy components, complex organic forms, worn tooling and competitor analysis. Scan data is processed into clean, parametric CAD models ready for modification or reproduction.
A design that looks good on screen may be expensive or impossible to manufacture in practice. DFM analysis catches issues early reviewing tolerances, material choices, process constraints and assembly sequences before they become costly problems on the shop floor.
Physical prototypes built in-house using FDM and resin 3D printing, CNC routing and laser cutting. From first concept models through to functional pre-production samples, iterating quickly without committing to tooling costs.
Finite element analysis to verify structural performance before cutting metal or committing to tooling. Stress, deflection, thermal and modal analysis carried out within the CAD environment to inform design decisions early and reduce costly iteration.
Production-ready 2D drawings to BS 8888 standards, full bills of materials, DXF and STEP file packages and supplier-ready documentation. Everything a manufacturer needs to quote accurately and produce consistently.
From inventors with a sketch to established businesses refreshing an existing product line.
First-time product developers who need chartered engineering rigour without the overhead of a large consultancy. We can take an idea from napkin sketch to manufacturable product with clear milestones and transparent costs.
Established businesses looking to develop new product lines, modernise existing designs or bring CAD in-house. We integrate with your existing team and work to your timescales and production constraints.
Design and engineering companies that need additional chartered capacity for specific projects or to cover peaks in workload. Fully qualified, insured and able to deliver to professional standards under your brief.
Businesses working through Invest NI, Go Succeed or other innovation programmes where chartered engineering input is a requirement or adds credibility to an application. Experienced working within funded project frameworks.
Product development experience spanning a wide range of sectors and manufacturing processes.
Industry-standard software delivering files your suppliers and manufacturers can use directly.
