2D/3D CAD Design

From initial concept to production-ready design

We provide practical 2D and 3D CAD design for components, products and assemblies. Starting with a sketch, an existing design or an idea, we develop accurate models ready for prototyping or manufacture. Our focus is on designs that are practical and efficient to produce.

3D CAD Modelling

Create parametric models for components, products and assemblies.

2D CAD Design

Prepare accurate layouts, profiles and manufacturing geometry.

Product & Component Design

Develop new ideas into practical, manufacturable designs.

Sheet Metal Design

Design parts and assemblies for cutting, folding and fabrication.

Design Modifications

Update, improve or adapt existing CAD models.

Manufacturing Files

Prepare suitable files for CNC, laser cutting, 3D printing and fabrication.

02

3D Printing & Laser Cutting

Turn digital designs into physical parts

Take a design from the screen into the real world with flexible digital manufacturing. We offer 3D printing and laser cutting for prototypes, one-off components, production aids and short runs. We can work from suitable supplied files or combine these services with our CAD capabilities.

Rapid Prototyping

Produce physical prototypes for testing and development.

Functional 3D Printing

Create custom components, brackets, enclosures, fixtures and production aids.

One-Off & Short Runs

Produce small quantities without expensive dedicated tooling.

Laser Cutting

Accurately cut suitable sheet materials from digital designs.

Custom Components

Produce bespoke parts for specific applications.

Design for Manufacture

Optimise parts for the selected production process.

03

Reverse Engineering

Recreate, modify and improve existing components

Sometimes the starting point is the physical part in your hand. We recreate existing components as digital models for replacement, modification or further development. This is useful where original drawings are unavailable, a component is obsolete or an existing part needs adapting to a new application.

Existing Part Recreation

Convert physical components into usable CAD models.

Replacement Components

Recreate difficult-to-source or discontinued parts.

Design Modification

Adapt existing components to suit new requirements.

Legacy Part Digitisation

Create modern CAD data for older or undocumented components.

Manufacturing Data

Produce models and drawings suitable for reproduction.

Prototype & Test

Produce prototypes before committing to final manufacture.

04

Technical Drawings

Clear, accurate information for manufacture

Good technical drawings communicate what needs to be made. We create clear, dimensioned engineering drawings for components, assemblies and fabricated products. Drawings can be developed from existing CAD models or alongside our design work, providing information for production and inspection.

Manufacturing & Fabrication

Create dimensioned drawings for components, sheet metal, folded and welded parts.

Assembly & Tolerances

Show how components fit together and define critical sizes and requirements.

Drawing Conversion

Recreate legacy, PDF or hand-drawn information in CAD.

Production Documentation

Prepare consistent drawing packs for manufacture and reference.

05

Graphic Design

Practical design for print, digital and business use

Our design capabilities also cover professional visual material for businesses. From marketing graphics to artwork incorporated into manufactured products, we create files suited to digital and physical applications. We consider the intended use and production requirements as part of the brief.

Brand & Marketing Graphics

Create artwork for websites, advertising and promotional material.

Print Design

Design flyers, brochures, posters, signage and other printed materials.

Product Graphics

Prepare labels, decals, control panels and graphics used in products.

Vector Artwork

Create scalable graphics for print, cutting, engraving and manufacture.

Image Editing

Retouch, composite and prepare existing imagery.

Production Artwork

Prepare files for printers, sign makers, laser cutters and other suppliers.

How We Work

From the first brief to finished parts.

01 / Discover

Agree the purpose, dimensions and manufacturing requirements.

02 / Design

Develop the models, drawings and production files.

03 / Launch

Check the design and produce the agreed files or parts.

04 / Support

Help with revisions, testing and further development.


Useful To Know

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Can you turn a sketch or idea into a CAD model?

Yes. We can develop a sketch, existing design or initial idea into 2D and 3D CAD models, agreeing the intended use and manufacturing requirements as part of the brief.

02 Can you recreate a part without the original drawings?

Yes. We can assess an existing component and recreate it as a CAD model for replacement, modification or further development. The approach depends on the part and the information available.

03 Can you manufacture prototypes or one-off parts?

Yes. We offer in-house 3D printing and laser cutting for suitable prototypes, one-off components and short runs, either from supplied files or designs we develop.

04 Can you create technical drawings for a manufacturer?

Yes. We can produce dimensioned component, fabrication and assembly drawings, including appropriate critical dimensions and manufacturing requirements.

05 Can you prepare files for manufacturing processes?

Yes. We can prepare suitable files for CNC, laser cutting, 3D printing and fabrication, working around the intended process and your manufacturer’s requirements.
