Turning your idea into a reality doesn’t just happen, it demands focus and attention. Obviously, you live and breathe it, what you need is a forward thinking team that will put in the effort your idea deserves. The easiest thing to do would be just to take take your idea and run with it – but we work a little differently! We will work with you to create various concepts to see which ones still do what they are meant to but are also pleasing to the eye, sthe best size, with more or less options, cheaper to manufacture or more competitively priced as various solutions to your initial concept. We use a variety of techniques and will liaise with you throughout your journey of transforming what was in your head to a physical object. Whether you have a small seed of an idea and nothing else or a considerably advanced concept with, styling, ergonomics, cost, function, feasibility of manufacture and routes to market already explored, together we will work out how to move things forward.

When you request work, you don’t want to sit there getting stressed not knowing what is happening. It’s even worse when you are answerable to your client and have delegated tasks to another. You can be confident any designs we create, will be on time, to the highest possible standard and within the budget agreed. We don’t like to be let down and that is why we are protective of our repuattion as are you. Creating 3D designs helps to not only visualise complex products but is also a great sales aid for when you are promoting your products and services. Our services include; Identifying and eliminating possible manufacturing issues, Refreshing a product from old data, updating designs and converting data and details to a 3D format of your choice.

The prototype stage is regarded by many to be the most crucial when it comes to successful product design. When thoughts, ideas, concepts and sketches are turned into a physical object that you can touch, you can assess what the end product could look like but it is still not too late or costly to fine tune things e.g. could it be lighter, would using a different material propel it to a higher price point are just two examples. On the other hand, you may want feedback from a client or potential client or just to do your own evaluation before you take the next step of going into full production. Think of prototyping as a trial run or a dress rehearsal, you want to get all the niggles and teething problems out of the way before the main event!

Most people are aware of CAD and know it is about drawings in a digital format, but most are not aware of how much impact it has in our lives and also what a great selling tool it is or how much you can save by utilising its features. Taking a physical component and converting it into a detailed 3D model that can be rotated 360° or be seen from different perspectives e.g. above, below, from behind, without risking damage to the real thing (try turning a car upside down to check how the suspension works or looking at the location of metal screws in a 500 ft Access Platform on the side of a Refinery!) Once the model is created in CAD, it is a simple task to fine tune it until it is precisely what you require. This model can help with the manufacturing process by highlighting various parameters e.g. mass, volume undercuts etc. A detailed 3D CAD drawing is an investment that could bring exponential rewards.

Having a great concept is one thing. Profiting from your idea can be a long and arduous road to success. What is is usually required is a plan of action to achieve your long term goals. We can assist you with this strategic implementation. Admittedly forming a strategy to a) get your product to market and b) align your expectations with the intended market resulting in maximising sales is not rocket science, but it is hard when you are too close to the action. We can take a step back and hep with the overall picture to help reduce costly mistakes and ultimately the failure of a product launch despite the innovative and disruptive nature of it.

In manufacturing it is essential you have a Parts Book. Without this invaluable tool, you would not be able to dissassemble your design into its individual components so it makes it easier to identify the parts to manfacture. Additionally, for those working on the manufacture of your product, the Bills of Materials is critical for raw materials, assembly information and quantities required.
