Why Our Network Matters?
The right manufacturing partner can make all the difference.
For over 15 years, we've worked with, tested and built relationships with suppliers across CNC machining, 3D printing, vacuum casting, sheet metal and prototype injection moulding. We understand their capabilities, strengths and limitations, allowing us to match each project to the right supplier for its requirements, budget and timescale. It's a network built through years of real product development, and we’re confident we can help with your next prototype.
Choosing the right process
Cost effective, good lead time, reliable parts and services
Our suppliers in both the Far East and Local have a wide range of CNC capabilities. A combination of excellent lead times and high-quality parts.
CNC Machining
An effective process for intricate geometries, detailed models and parts where surface quality is important. Parts can be optimised for strength, surface finish or turn-around. Premium additive process at a affordable cost.
SLA (Stereolithography)
Well suited to small batches of production level parts. This process requires making a mould from a ‘master part’, and subsequent parts can be made in different materials and colours to test a range of parts
Vacuum Casting
Suitable for a range of parts including brackets, housings, chassis and enclosures where strength is important. Additional fabrication and assembly can also be utilised in sheet metal. We’ve established a process to suit prototype builds, one offs and low-volume batches.
Sheet Metal
Leverages inserts for injection moulding tools to reduce upfront engineering costs, but achieve production level parts, that allow finishing to be explored. Trusted toolmakers and moulders both locally and in the far East.
Protoype Injection Molding
How We work
We approach every enquiry the way we'd want ours handled: clear pricing, realistic lead times and straightforward communication.
We review your requirements, flag anything that needs clarification and work through any necessary revisions before manufacture. Our aim is simple: to make getting quality prototype parts as straightforward and dependable as possible.
