Consulting

One Part or Ten Thousand

Sample it. Scale it. Ship it.

Talk to the people who actually run the machines, before you commit to a design, a supplier, or a production run. Whether it's a product, a marketing piece, an event, or a presentation, we'll help you think through how to bring it to life.

Why talk to us

A plate of nine identical printed housings

Production planning

We plan your run with you: parts per plate, which machine and material, and a realistic lead time for the whole batch.

A plate of identical printed gears

From sample to series

Whether you need ten parts or ten thousand, we tell you where printing pays off and where another process makes more sense.

Printed housing assembled with lid, screws and cable gland

Design for manufacturability

We review your design before it goes into production: wall thickness, tolerances, and how lids and parts fit together.

Brass threaded insert in a printed part

Design for assembly

Advice on fastening, from threaded inserts and screw bosses to clearances, so your product goes together reliably.

Printed corner connector joining aluminium extrusions

Printed or bought?

We help you decide which parts to print and where standard profiles and off-the-shelf hardware are the smarter choice.

Printed assembly fixture with steel locating pins

Automation and workflow

Jigs and fixtures designed with you, to make each step on your assembly line faster and repeatable.
