Design / Development / Manufacturing

From your idea.
To the finished part.

UK-based engineering with a network of manufacturers at home and abroad. We bring together design, CAD, technical drawings, development and manufacturing sourcing around your project’s requirements.

One project. A connected process.

Engineering and manufacturing, brought together.

Define the requirements

Start with your idea, existing part, sketch or CAD. We establish what the part must do, quantities, materials, tolerances, budget and delivery requirements.

Design and develop

We create or refine CAD models and technical drawings, review the design for manufacture and plan prototype development around the intended application.

Choose the manufacturing route

We assess processes, materials and suitable manufacturers across our UK and international network. Sourcing is guided by capability, quality requirements, cost, lead time and project constraints.

Coordinate manufacture and delivery

We coordinate the agreed scope with manufacturing partners, manage technical queries and revisions, and agree inspection and delivery requirements before production starts.

Illustrative precision components

UK engineering. Wider manufacturing reach.

The right manufacturer for the project.

Your project determines where and how a part is made. We can source locally or globally, choosing a manufacturing route around the technical specification and commercial priorities.

01 / DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

Shape the solution

Concept development, CAD modelling, reverse engineering, technical drawings and design for manufacture.

02 / PROCESSES & MATERIALS

Define how it is made

Material and finish selection, process assessment and prototype planning, with supplier capability checked against your requirements.

03 / MANUFACTURING NETWORK

Source and coordinate

UK and international manufacturing partners selected for the part, quantity, quality requirements, budget and lead time.

Engineered in the United Kingdom

UK-based engineering support. Manufacturing location is selected and agreed for each project.

Focused engineering packages

Start with a single task.
Or bring us the whole project.

These packages cover focused engineering tasks. End-to-end development, manufacturing sourcing and production coordination are estimated around your project; supplier, tooling and manufacturing costs are agreed separately.

SERVICE / 01

Drawing Rescue

Correct, complete or recreate a single 3D model or manufacturing drawing where the source information is incomplete or inconsistent.

From £195 Up to three engineering hours
SERVICE / 02

Part-to-CAD

Convert a sketch, measured component or legacy part into a clean digital model and manufacture-ready drawing.

From £395 Estimated against part complexity
SERVICE / 03

DfM Sprint

Review and revise a component for its intended process, with practical recommendations on geometry, material and production risk.

From £650 Design review, revision and summary
SERVICE / 04

Overflow CAD Support

Prepaid drawing and modelling capacity for machine shops, fabricators and product teams managing peaks in workload.

£550 Ten-hour prepaid engineering block
SERVICE / 05

Prototype Planning

Define the build route, material, tolerances and supplier requirements before prototype manufacture is commissioned.

Scoped to project Supplier costs quoted separately
SERVICE / 06

Engineering Review

Independent review of a component, drawing pack or concept to identify missing information and the next practical actions.

Fixed-price Agreed before review begins

Who we help

Built for small teams with real production constraints.

We support manufacturers, fabricators and product teams with design capacity, legacy components, new product development and a route to prototype or production manufacture.

01
Machine shops

Resolve weak customer data before it reaches programming or inspection.

02
Fabricators

Turn site sketches and concepts into controlled models and clear drawings.

03
Heritage specialists

Recreate unavailable components while preserving fit and service intent.

04
Product teams

Move from an early concept towards a defined prototype and production route.

05
Additive bureaux

Repair and prepare models for a chosen process instead of printing avoidable problems.

Typical deliverables

Clear engineering information.
Ready for the next stage.

File types and drawing detail are agreed around the manufacturing route rather than added by habit.

3D / STEP / STL

Controlled 3D geometry

Clean solid models suitable for quotation, manufacture or further development.

2D / PDF / DXF

Manufacturing drawings

Dimensions, tolerances, material and finish information appropriate to the scope.

REVIEW / DFM

Design recommendations

Prioritised changes tied to process capability, cost and production risk.

REV / CONTROL

Defined revisions

Named files and revision status so the approved release is unambiguous.

Start with the problem

An idea to develop?
A part to manufacture?

Tell us what you need, the approximate quantity and your target timing. Share any drawings, CAD, sketches or photographs you already have — you do not need a complete specification to start. We will use the information submitted to prepare an initial estimate.

The initial estimate is indicative, not a binding manufacturing quotation. A formal quotation follows once the technical scope, quantity, material, tolerances and manufacturing requirements have been confirmed.
