Overview of Design Process

Stage One: Initial Consultation

• Meet for an initial consultation free of charge to discuss your project

• Sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement if required

• We will provide a full quotation and time line

Stage Two: Drawings

• Ideally we need a 3D CAD model or a 2D drawing including dimensions.  If you are unable to provide us with this information, we can work with you to produce this requirement.

• Our standard cost for this service is £50.00 per hour.

Stage Three: Material Selection

• We can mould a variety of engineering polymers from polypropylene through to engineering grades such as glass filled nylons and beyond.

Stage Four: Tooling Cost

• A simple tool can start from as little as £3,000 - £4,000.

Stage Five: Prototype

• We offer prototyping from 3D models.

• A basic set can cost from as little as £150 dependent on the size of the component.

Stage Six: Average Lead Time

• On receipt of signed off drawings and settlement of 50% deposit, first off samples can be available within 8-10 weeks.
