    We are an efficient, agile company and through our agility we have enabled customers to hit their seemingly impossible deadlines and to sensible budgets.

    We have a strong background in medical device design and manufacture in the orthopaedic and cardiovascular sector, and aerospace microelectronics manufacturing.

    We have invested in the latest 3d CAD software to match up with our 3d CAM software to enable us to produce real prototypes quickly on our 4-axis CNC mill. The reason for this is that the consistency, stability and availability of raw material is broader than is available for 3d printers today. We also run a Formlabs SLA 3d printer that uses a more narrow but useful range of resins to produce high resolution models.

    We have experience with working with start-ups, research institutions with fantastic ideas and SME requiring support for their products.

    Our projects vary depending on the needs of our customer with some choosing to work with us throughout our entire development process and others using a smaller part of our capability shown in Services.

    We are experienced in New Product Introductions and can model project plans from initial concept through to manufacture and model the cost of any delays by elements of the project outside our control.

    We have worked within the med-tech industry so are fully aware of the regulatory pathways with respect to ISO 13485:20XX and 93/42/EEC especially in the field of patient specific devices, and we are able to assist with this within a design brief.

    We welcome the opportunity to discuss your design and prototype challenges. Whether it is only a rough sketch on an envelope or a fully detailed idea we can bring them to reality.

      Bill was great to work with. He understood the product requirements and came up with novel solutions to deliver in such a short time frame - we're talking less than a week from first discussion to parts arriving at my door. Wouldn't hesitate to work with Bill again.

      Bill did an excellent job on interpreting some rather rough drawings and was able to incorporate this addition into an existing project. His advice and guidance on both production requirements and aesthetics has been invaluable.

      Bill is a brilliant engineer and a fantastic problem solver, to say the least. He always finds ingenious ways to solve a problem within the means of the budget at hand. He has great wealth of experience in the field and perfectly balances thinking artistically and logically in order to get a project complete from start to finish. Bill is also very understanding and very easy to get along with - he is someone who puts his genuine heart and time in to a project.

      I would recommend Bill every time - I will be using Bill for all projects going forward.

      Great work! 10/10.
