Build sustainability in the high-turnover world of industrial products innovation
When thinking of industrial products we tend to think of simple designs and work-horse-like functionality. Neverheless, like all other sectors, new digital technologies are constantly transforming the way they are manufactured. From the creation of simple filtration systems to minute parts for production line robots, product development speeds have been greatly enhanced. Production processes are more efficient than ever before. And the race to market has reached a peak of intensity.
We have been helping customers like you transform consumer product development since 2003. Our technologies and materials encourage you to change the way you think about product innovation. They enable you to remove steps in your product development cycle and revolutionise your production processes. They enable you to shrink and flex your supply chain, and enhance the industrial products value chain.
While you need to be flexible and keep costs down for your customers, we can be flexible and keep costs down for you.

Additive Manufacturing for Industrial Products
Tool-free solutions for end-use parts
Industrial products need to be tough, robust and durable. Installations, such as industrial machinery, and accessories, such as electrical and robotic components, have to withstand the rigours of both environment and activity. With an array of materials designed to stand up to such rigours, Additive manufacturing gives you the chance to realise your design sooner. It enables you to explore fit and functionality options without incurring tooling costs. And now, with materials specifically designed for production, additive manufacturing can be used to produce end parts without thinking about tooling.
We can help you deliver on value and on economies of scale. Our revolutionary additive manufacturing technologies, Digital Light Synthesis™ and Multi Jet Fusion open up endless exciting production and customisation opportunities. Parts possess all the qualities of injection moulded plastics without the tooling costs. Materials are all biocompatible with resolution.
Prototyping to production
Meet product challenges at any scale. The additive manufacturing process drastically reduces prototyping time with an ‘on-deck’ facility for revising designs in no time.
Production
Print end-use parts with consistent isotropic and mechanical properties. Multiple parts provide scale economics. A wide variety of biocompatible materials, including rubbers, flexible polyurethanes and rigid nylons.
Applications
Robotics components, filtration components, straps, wearable devices, containers, toys, bottles, electronic devices, keypads, electrical components and housing, textured components and more.
Rapid Technologies for Industrial Products
Prototypes and low volume solutions for real world applications
Shorten production times for revolutionary ideas and enhance quality with a suite of rapid validation prototyping and testing services, including 3D printing, vacuum casting, reaction injection moulding and silicone casting. Our experienced technicians and model makers deliver highly accurate, production-representative parts produced quickly and cost-effectively using low-cost tooling capabilities.

Form and functionality
A fast, cost-effective method of producing low numbers of highly detailed, highly accurate thermoplastic, silicone and polyurethane components and products with similar properties to injection moulded or cast parts.
Production
From one offs to low numbers of prototypes. Our model makers can add essentials such as mechanisms and electrics.
Applications
Concepts to full assemblies of items in transparent and opaque simulants.
CNC Technologies for Industrial Products
Lower costs and assure quality with end-to-end supply chain management, and faster tooling and part production times.
Successful industrial product development requires speed to market and accuracy. A supplier who can help you evaluate materials, develop your prototypes, deliver on low volume manufacturing and create production tools quickly and cost-effectively will be a key factor in helping you beat your competition to market.
Our engineering and CNC capabilities allow you to flex your designs, produce prototypes quickly, develop and modify tools for manufacture and achieve outstanding quality at the manufacturing stage. Our cost effective, efficient solutions, including contract manufacturing of component parts, will help you win that race to market, time and time again.
Design support
For gauges, jigs and fixtures. Working together to ensure creative and functional elements align with repeatability, and quality is assured at the point of manufacture.
Production
3 and 5 axis milling and turning to create prototypes and component parts. Lower inventory spending and meet quality and delivery targets with contract manufacturing.
Tooling
Our large-gantry, state-of-the-art CNC machines provide facility for production of assembly, RIM, vac, press, and hammer form tools as well as specialist dies and moulds.
