Rapid
Prototyping

3D printing, 3D scanning and reverse engineering for rapid product iteration, functional testing and validation based in Strabane, Co. Tyrone.

Test Fast. Iterate Faster.

Prototyping sits at the heart of good product development. The ability to produce a physical part quickly to check fit, form and function before committing to tooling or production is one of the most cost-effective investments in any development programme.

We combine 3D printing for rapid physical parts, 3D scanning for accurate geometry capture from existing objects, and test and measurement capability for dimensional verification and functional validation all within a chartered engineering framework that gives results you can rely on.

Whether you need a single concept model, a series of functional prototypes for user testing, or reverse-engineered geometry from a legacy part, we can turn it around quickly with the accuracy and documentation you need.

  • Concept and appearance models
  • Functional prototypes for user testing
  • Jigs, fixtures and assembly aids
  • End-use components in engineering-grade materials
  • Reverse-engineered CAD from scan data
  • Dimensional verification reports
  • Functional test results with traceable records
  • Iteration support throughout development

Four Disciplines. One Location.

All prototyping capabilities are available in-house in Strabane no outsourcing delays, no quality uncertainty.

3D printing additive manufacture Northern Ireland
01 · Additive

3D Printing

FDM/FFF additive manufacture for concept models, functional prototypes, jigs and fixtures, and end-use components. Broad material palette including standard PLA/PETG through to engineering-grade filaments suitable for functional testing.

Material rangePLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU +
Lead timeHours to days
Layer resolution0.1mm – 0.3mm
3D scanning reverse engineering Northern Ireland
02 · Capture

3D Scanning

Accurate geometry capture from physical objects where drawings do not exist. Ideal for legacy components, complex organic forms, worn tooling and competitor analysis. The scan data is processed into clean, manufacturable CAD models ready for modification or reproduction.

Output formatsSTEP, IGES, STL, native CAD
ApplicationReverse engineering, QA
GeometryComplex and organic forms
