Prototype building & testing

The journey from an idea to a tangible product is complex.

We work with our clients in every step of this journey, offering our expertise in designing, manufacturing, and testing prototypes. Our team is here to guide you through developing your product for optimal manufacturing efficiency. From there, we take over the heavy lifting, fabricating, assembling, and rigorously testing your prototypes to ensure they meet the highest standards. Including complete electrical wiring services, we don't just build; we bring your vision to life, tested and proven.

Bridging design and manufacture

Our approach integrates design and fabrication to streamline the journey from concept to product. By advising you on the design for manufacturing early in the development process, we help you avoid costly revisions and delays. Our in-house capabilities, including state-of-the-art CNC machinery and 3D modelling, ensure precision and quality from the first piece. Whether stainless or mild steel, we have the expertise to advise, design, and fabricate your prototype efficiently.

Who we work with

We work to ISO9001:2018 and have in-house quality personnel on staff.

We use dedicated sheet metal working software called ProgressPlus.

Yes. We have several clients who supply us with all the bought-out items needed to provide fully assembled, wired, and tested machinery ready to despatch from our premises to site.

Yes. We have another division – Secure Line Solutions who are approved to Ministry of Justice level and are permanently dedicated to site work and installations.

Yes, we try not to subcontract work if we can avoid it, so everything stays within our control from a scheduling and quality perspective. The only operations we subcontract are electroplating and galvanising, which are specialist processes.

Our expertise is in sheet metal fabrications and CNC machining, which are our focuses. However, if your project requires plastics or other non-metallic materials, we can manage those from other suppliers on your behalf.

For standard laser cutting work, we offer a 3-day turnaround. Larger projects will be dictated by the scope of supply.

"Excellent goods out team, including very professional fork truck driver. Large yard but access via narrow roads."

Testing that builds confidence

Testing and proving your product is as crucial as its design and manufacture. Our comprehensive testing services are designed to validate your prototype's performance under real-world conditions. This phase is vital for refining the design further and peering any unforeseen issues. Our hands-on approach ensures that your product meets and exceeds the necessary standards and provides reliability and functionality.
