Design & Manufacture

Practical design from concept to production

From CAD models and technical drawings to reverse engineering and digital manufacturing, BreakingTech provides practical design support to turn ideas and existing components into accurate, production-ready designs.

With in-house 3D printing and laser cutting, alongside 2D/3D CAD and graphic design, we can take projects from initial concept through design, prototyping and into manufacture.

2D/3D CAD Design

From initial concept to production-ready design

We provide practical 2D and 3D CAD design services for components, products and assemblies. Whether you’re starting with a sketch, an existing design or simply an idea, we can develop accurate CAD models ready for prototyping or manufacture.

Our focus is on creating designs that don’t just work on screen, but are practical and efficient to manufacture.

  • 3D CAD Modelling – Parametric models for components, products and assemblies.
  • 2D CAD Design – Accurate layouts, profiles and manufacturing geometry.
  • Product & Component Design – Develop new ideas into practical, manufacturable designs.
  • Sheet Metal Design – Parts and assemblies designed 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.

3D Printing & Laser Cutting

Turn digital designs into physical parts

Take a design from the screen into the real world with rapid, flexible digital manufacturing.

We offer 3D printing and laser cutting for prototypes, one-off components, production aids and short manufacturing runs. If you already have a suitable design, we can manufacture directly from your files, or combine these services with our CAD capabilities to provide the complete process from idea to finished part.

  • Rapid Prototyping – Produce physical prototypes quickly for testing and development.
  • Functional 3D Printing – Custom components, brackets, enclosures, fixtures and production aids.
  • One-Off & Short Runs – Economical production without expensive dedicated tooling.
  • Laser Cutting – Accurate cutting of suitable sheet materials from digital designs.
  • Custom Components – Produce bespoke parts for specific applications.
  • Design for Manufacture – Optimise parts for the selected production process.

Reverse Engineering

Recreate, modify and improve existing components

Sometimes the starting point isn’t a CAD file — it’s the physical part in your hand.

We can recreate existing components as accurate digital models, providing a starting point for replacement, modification or further development. This is particularly useful where original drawings are unavailable, a component is obsolete or an existing part needs adapting for 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 CAD models and drawings suitable for reproduction.
  • Prototype & Test – Produce prototypes before committing to final manufacture.

Technical Drawings

Clear, accurate information for manufacture

Good technical drawings communicate exactly what needs to be made.

We create clear, dimensioned engineering drawings for components, assemblies and fabricated products. Drawings can be produced from existing CAD models or developed alongside our design work, providing the information manufacturers need to accurately produce and inspect components.

  • Manufacturing Drawings – Fully dimensioned component drawings.
  • Fabrication Drawings – Drawings for sheet metal, folded and welded components.
  • Assembly Drawings – Clearly communicate how multiple components fit together.
  • Dimensions & Tolerances – Define critical sizes and manufacturing requirements.
  • Drawing Conversion – Recreate legacy, PDF or hand-drawn information in CAD.
  • Production Documentation – Create consistent drawing packs for manufacture and reference.

Graphic Design

Practical design for print, digital and business use

Our design capabilities aren’t limited to engineering.

We also provide graphic design for businesses that need professional visual material without using a separate design agency. From straightforward marketing material to graphics that form part of a manufactured product, we can create artwork suitable for both digital and physical applications.

  • Brand & Marketing Graphics – Artwork for websites, advertising and promotional material.
  • Print Design – Flyers, brochures, posters, signage and other printed materials.
  • Product Graphics – Labels, decals, control panels and graphics incorporated into products.
  • Vector Artwork – Scalable artwork suitable for print, cutting, engraving and manufacture.
  • Image Editing – Retouching, compositing and preparation of existing imagery.
  • Production Artwork – Prepare files correctly for printers, sign makers, laser cutters and other suppliers.
