Services
Additive Manufacturing
Our additive manufacturing services create complex, high-performance components using Electron Beam Melting and Direct Metal Laser Sintering. We specialise in titanium and Scalmalloy alloys, enabling lightweight, durable parts for aerospace, medical, and motorsport applications. Our in-house machines and proprietary processes ensure precision and cost efficiency.
Aerospace Components
We design and produce lightweight, high-strength aerospace components certified to AS9100 standards. Using titanium and Scalmalloy, we optimise geometries for weight reduction and performance, partnering with Airbus AP Works to deliver FIA-approved solutions for structural applications.
Medical Implants
Our medical implants utilise biocompatible titanium alloys with mesh structures to promote bone integration. The Arcam Q10 machine ensures precise manufacturing of custom prosthetics, meeting stringent medical industry requirements for safety and durability.
Motorsport Parts
We create ultra-thin, high-strength components for motorsport using Scalmalloy and titanium. Our designs reduce weight while maintaining durability, with hollowed internals and bracing structures that traditional methods cannot achieve, approved for Formula One applications.
Cycling Components
Our cycling components, including custom TT bars, combine aerodynamics and stiffness for professional and amateur cyclists. Using 3D printing, we optimise shapes for drag reduction and rider integration, with a proven track record in Tour de France victories.
