Design for Manufacture

With an experienced team of industrial design engineers in-house, we help you get your sheet metal products designed and ready for mass manufacture.

Making your idea a manufacturable reality

Not only do we design creatively and with an open mind, but we consider the ‘how’ too. Unlike pure product design companies and in-house engineering teams, we know that we will face the challenge of manufacturing our designs.

This is why our design process is firmly rooted in design for manufacture.

Design for manufacture process

Our in-house engineering design team is experienced in all aspects of sheet metal manufacture, and we can help you design parts that are ready for mass production.

Not only can we design for our own in-house processes but also for outsourced processes such as PU mouldings, machined components and textiles.

Primed for prototyping

With 3D printing technology in-house and dedicated manufacturing equipment, we have the capability at our disposal for rapid prototyping. 3D printing enables us to quickly prove out component parts ensuring optimum performance without having to wait for components to be bought in or manufactured, and without having to outlay tooling costs.

Optimised designs help products thrive
