3D Design and Printing
Rapid, End-to-End Prototyping for Impactful Innovation
We provide a seamless journey from concept to prototype, ensuring that your innovative ideas transform into working models quickly and effectively. Our approach is designed to meet the unique demands of sectors such as medicine, veterinary care, agriculture, and life sciences. We leverage rapid iteration and advanced prototyping tools to deliver exceptional prototype manufacturing solutions—all under one roof.
Laser Cutting
Our laser cutting service utilises cutting-edge technology to create precise and intricate designs with exceptional accuracy. This process enables us to perform high-quality cuts and engravings on various materials, making it an invaluable asset for a wide array of applications.
- High-Accuracy Cuts: We achieve meticulous cuts across a range of materials, including textiles, acrylic, wood, and medical-grade silicon.
- Professional Equipment: Our 80W Omtech laser cutter provides high fidelity and consistent results, ensuring that your projects meet high standards of quality.
- Versatile Applications: Whether you need prototypes for presentations, functional parts, or decorative elements, our laser cutting service is adaptable to suit your specific requirements.
High-Fidelity Prototyping
Our high-fidelity prototyping service is designed to create advanced models that closely mimic the appearance and functionality of the final product. This approach ensures that your prototypes are not only visually appealing but also functional and ready for real-world testing.
- Detailed Replication: We produce prototypes that reflect the final product's design, texture, and operation, making them ideal for stakeholder demonstrations and user testing.
- Comprehensive Techniques: Utilising a combination of medical-grade 3D design and printing, precision machining, and casting, we ensure each prototype meets the highest quality standards.
- Feedback Ready: Our prototypes are designed for real-world feedback, allowing you to gather insights from users and stakeholders effectively.
Medical-Grade 3D Printing
Our medical-grade 3D design and printing service is dedicated to producing high-quality, bio-compatible prototypes for clinical applications. This service allows for the creation of functional prototypes suitable for testing in medical environments.
- Bio-Compatible Materials: We utilise skin-safe materials to ensure that our prototypes meet the stringent requirements of medical applications.
- High Resolution: Our Formlabs 4B+ printer offers 25-micron resolution, producing prototypes that closely resemble injection-moulded parts.
- Clinical Testing Ready: These prototypes are ideal for clinical testing and ergonomic studies, providing valuable insights into the functionality and usability of your designs.
Casting and Overmoulding
Our casting and overmoulding service offers a solution for creating custom parts with varied mechanical properties. This process is vital for transitioning from functional prototypes to ready-for-market products.
- Custom Polymer Selection: We utilise a range of Smooth-On polymers, allowing for custom colour and mechanical properties designed to your specifications.
- Surface Finish Options: Our service enables the creation of detailed surface finishes that bridge the gap between prototypes and mass production.
- Injection Moulding Preparation: We produce parts that can be mould-ready, ensuring a smooth transition into the manufacturing process.
CNC Machining and Metalwork
Our CNC machining and metalwork service is designed to facilitate the creation of durable, accurate prototypes and components using a variety of materials. This service is crucial for projects requiring precision and robustness.
- Material Versatility: We work with materials such as aluminium, mild steel, wood, and various polymers to meet diverse project requirements.
- Precision Engineering: Our Ultimate Bee CNC router has 0.1mm spindle accuracy and is well suited for large, initial prototypes.
- Durable Components: We produce prototypes and housing components that are not only accurate but also designed to withstand real-world conditions.
CAD Modelling and IP Generation
Our 3D modelling and intellectual property (IP) generation service supports clients in refining their concepts and protecting their innovations.
- Collaborative CAD Design: We engage in collaborative design sessions to refine your concepts, ensuring that they align with your vision and goals.
- Intellectual Property Documentation: Our service includes the generation of IP documentation, facilitating patent filings and protecting your innovations.
- Rapid Iteration: Using tools like Onshape, Fusion 360, and SolidWorks, we ensure quick design iterations based on your feedback.
Design Review & Testing
Our Design Review & Testing Service enables us to take on projects at any stage, and evaluate the best next steps for the product.
- Data Generation: We can implement a massive array of off-the-shelf sensors to gather data on the efficacy of the existing device. This can be used for evidence gathering when seeking UKCA / CE mark approval, as well as providing reassurance that the product operates as intented.
- In-House Testing: We're commited to working with clients throughout the duration of the project. This means we're happy to invest in specilalised equipment which helps the project stay on track, and prevents any outsourcing.
- Report Generation: We can generate a range of reports which highlight the results of any in-house testing. These reports will serve as formal documents which can be used to quantify the yield strength, fatigue strength and response of the overal device for evidence generation.
Electronics and Software Prototyping
Our electronics and software prototyping service combines hardware and software development, allowing for the creation of fully functional prototypes. This integrated approach is essential for modern product development.
- Breadboarding to PCB Design: We start with breadboarding and evolve to permanent builds, including PCB layout, ensuring a comprehensive development process.
- Software Development: We develop software in C++ and Python for various applications, including actuator control and data processing.
- Robust Prototypes: Our approach allows us to create complex prototypes that impress stakeholders and pave the way to production-ready devices.
