From hand-built to repeatable production.

Your product sells, but every unit is cut, welded and fitted by hand, or you are about to pay for moulds before the design is ready. We redesign it for online fabricators, jigs and a small assembly line: more units, no factory, and no moulds too early.

The gap between prototype and production.

“We're thousands of orders behind.”

More units, same team

Parts ordered online and jigs for assembly, so every unit needs less hand work.

“We got a mould quote before the design even works.”

Prove it first

Validate and sell with online fabricators; tool up when demand is real.

“Every unit needs hand-fitting to come out right.”

Self-locating parts

Tabs, slots and fixtures so every unit comes out the same.

Made for production, not the bench.

Design for online fabrication

Laser-cut, bent, CNC and 3D-printed parts you can order online, quoted at 1, 100 and 1,000 units.

Jigs and a small line

Jigs, fixtures and assembly steps so a small team builds consistent units without hand-fitting.

Moulds at the right time

Only when the design and the demand are ready, not before.

Products made for production.

H7 studyShowcaseOff-road recovery pointIn progress

A cast or machined part, redesigned in laser-cut sheet metal

A typical recovery point, redesigned as laser-cut, press-braked plate with self-locating tabs and one weld, checked under the same load case, and quoted at 1, 100 and 1,000 units for both versions.

Same loadcase on both versions, so the cost difference is like for like

Accessory lines made for sheet metal

Bumpers, guards and skid plates; roof racks and carriers; truck beds, drawers and canopies; mounts and brackets, redesigned around laser-cut and bent plate.

Fewerwelds and parts, faster assembly, lower cost

Send us the product that costs too much to build, or the line you want to grow.

A photo, a drawing or a short description is enough to start. We reply with where the build loses time and money, and what would change it. NDA on request.
