What we Offer
Innovation is the source of
differentiation in the market place.
Our objective is to provide a cost effective, fast turnaround,
'one stop shop' for developing ideas to market readiness.
​
Our aim is remove the headache of managing multiple suppliers from the ideation stage through to prototyping & market test and in doing so create cost efficiencies, reduced lead times & minimise R&D risks.
Areas of Expertise
Light-weighting
Reducing weight, increasing strength enhancing functionality. From complex structures to discrete components. Using generative design methods, composite materials, additive and subtractive manufacture processes we pursue solutions to achieve ambitious customer goals.
Sustainability
Designing for product lifecycle & sustainability, net carbon zero & the circular economy is now a critical requirement that goes hand in hand with cost and function. By aligning early stage development activities to final manufacture and end of life solutions we can support you in achieving specific sustainability targets.
Digital Twinning & Product Visualisation
Creating digital twins of your product or process is a key factor in delivering to the Industry 4.0 strategy. We have experience in developing hard products with embedded sensors and IoT capability, linking with digital twins to monitor aspects of a product's function. Our digital expertise includes bringing products to life using market leading rendering and animation toolsets.
Performance Optimisation
Developing products that performance better is our specialty. Driven from over 25 years working with Olympic and elite sports, we pursue performance through both a disruptive and marginal gains approach. Performance can mean many things to many people. Functioning more efficiently, increasing product life time, travelling faster & better motion control are just some examples. We support our clients to identify and develop areas of performance that will create their competitive edge.
Human Factors
Products that interact with humans require careful design thought. Understanding how users feel and experience a product is crucial to it's success. Through our involvement in developing products that support Olympic medal winning athletes we have developed an extensive understanding of designing products and technology solutions that centre human factors at the heart of the design process.
Prototyping for Volume Manufacture
We have over 25 years in developing prototypes (basic to pre-production). Our focus is to align early stage developments to meet client end solution manufacturing needs. Designing for manufacture relies upon an extensive experience base and having a finger on the pulse of the latest materials and processing developments
Strategy & Planning
We help define clear pathways towards achieving target innovation goals
