Services
Design & Draughting
We create precise 3D models and 2D technical drawings using Autodesk software for mechanical components and electrical diagrams. Our services ensure accurate manufacturing specifications and support regulatory compliance. Clients receive files in AutoCAD, Inventor, or PDF formats for seamless integration into production workflows.
3D Modelling
Our 3D modelling services transform concepts into digital prototypes for evaluation and optimisation. Models are used for finite element analysis or 3D printing to validate designs before manufacturing. This process reduces development costs and accelerates time-to-market for custom engineering solutions.
Plastic Moulding Design
We design plastic components and fittings for diverse applications, including utility meter boxes and recyclable containers. Our expertise ensures designs meet functional requirements while optimising for manufacturability. Clients benefit from decades of experience in creating durable, cost-effective plastic solutions.
Finite Element Analysis
Our finite element analysis services evaluate component performance under stress using linear and non-linear methods. This ensures structural integrity and identifies design improvements before production. Clients gain confidence in product reliability through rigorous virtual testing and refinement.
Product Approval Assistance
We guide clients through approvals for the Pressure Equipment Directive and Water Regulations Advisory Scheme. Our support includes documentation preparation and testing coordination to ensure compliance with industry standards. This expertise reduces time-to-market for regulated products.
