Rapid prototyping
CNC machined prototype parts, cut from solid to your model for accuracy, from a single proof-of-concept part to a short run. Sheet metal prototypes too, all from one point of contact.
Get a real part in your hands, fast.
Need a physical part to test fit, form and function before you commit to production? We produce CNC machined prototype parts straight from your CAD, machined from solid so the part is accurate enough to test properly, alongside sheet metal prototypes cut, folded and welded in-house. Machining is provided through our wider engineering group, so it is all handled through one point of contact.
Bringing CNC machining and sheet metal work together under one point of contact means fewer hand-offs and a real part in your hands quickly. When the design is signed off, the same route takes it straight into batch or full production, with nothing to re-source.
What you get
- One-off parts and short development runs
- Cut, folded and welded from your CAD or a sample
- Quick turnaround, handled in-house from start to finish
- A clean path from prototype into production
Got a drawing? We’ll quote it.

How quickly can you turn a prototype around?
We prioritise prototype work and confirm a lead time with your quote.
Can you scale a prototype to production?
Yes. The same workshop takes it from one-off to repeat batch.
What do you need to start?
A DXF, DWG or STEP file, or a sample to reverse-engineer.
Which materials can you prototype in?
Mild steel, stainless and aluminium, for both machined and sheet metal parts, plus common engineering plastics for machined prototypes.
