PRODUCT.
DEVELOPMENT.
AS SPECIALISTS IN LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS AND WITH A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE WORKING ACROSS MULTIPLE MARKET SECTORS, WE ARE VERY WELL PLACED TO HELP DEVELOP A PRODUCT WITH A SPECIFIC SET OF GOALS. THIS COULD INCLUDE ALTERNATIVE MATERIALS TO REDUCE MASS, OR A CHANGE IN GEOMETRY.
DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURE.
A vital part of any product development process is ensuring the design is suitable for manufacture. Our engineers have worked with a huge variety of materials coupled with a vast array of manufacturing techniques giving us a very wide scope to help ensure any product design is appropriately designed considering materials, manufacturing process and any post processing required.
​
We have experience of a wide range of manufacturing techniques covering prototypes to volume production including:
​
-
Casting
-
Forging
-
Extrusions
-
Sintering
-
Various 3D Printing Methods
-
Vacuum Casting
-
Injection Moulding
-
CNC Machining
-
Wire EDM / EDM
STRUCTURAL TOPOLOGY OPTIMISATION.
Using industry leading software, we can optimise existing products and designs to achieve many improvements depending on the customers requirements. This could be mass, volume or displacement, among other things.
​
We believe strongly in efficiency, and we will always seek to provide to best solution with the minimum embedded carbon.
MATERIAL SELECTION.
With experience in Formula One as well as many other top-level racing categories our engineers have been exposed to a host of ‘exotic’ materials, often having to find a way around their limitations with manufacturing as well as the utilising the benefits of various surface treatments to further enhance performance.
​
Similarly, we have a broad experience working with a wide range of aluminium alloys, cast iron and ferrous alloys.
