Design engineering, considered.
We develop complex products, specialist equipment and production systems - carrying the work through design, build, integration and test.
ORIGINAL CAST-PART REPLICAS
Engineering that reaches the real world
Laboratory & Industrial
Test rigs, fixtures and automated equipment, purpose built to your needs. Accelerate your research, increase production reliability, and gain confidence in your data.
We can help you with:
- Sensing and measurement that's accurate, reliable and easy to use
- Mechanical fixtures, precision motion & fluid control
- Closed-loop systems that say what actually happened, not just the intent
Product Development
Integrated hardware developed from technical requirements through detailed design, working builds, and rigorous validation.
We can help you with:
- Turning your ideas into prototypes, and your prototypes into products
- Understanding requirements, identifying interfaces and definining architectures
- Detail design, from early concept sketches to production-ready packages
- In-house prototyping, testing, measurement and iteration
Scalable Design
Design optimisation, supplier coordination, assembly documentation, and in-process validation for dependable early batch manufacturing.
We can help you with:
- Design For Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA)
- Detailed documentation packages for production, assembly and distribution
- Connecting with suppliers, commissoning tooling, finding assembly capacity and supporting pilot production
From engineering decisions to working systems
PART-ID SENSOR • HALL EFFECT
Automated post-op machining centre
Finish-machines CNC-routed components autonomously, reducing safety risks vs. manual operators. Buffered I/O and automatic program selection allow continuous operation with reduced labour cost.
COMPONENT LAYOUT VERIFICATION
Synchronised audio player
Custom electronics for integration into smart speakers, with Sonos-style synchronous playback across multiple devices.
BRAKE-DISC LOAD • REACTION TORQUE
Rotating assembly test rig
A rig that characterises stepper speed–torque behaviour properly — voltage, current and microstepping move the curve far more than the datasheet's single reference plot suggests.
REDUCTION-RATIO DIAL • 53.5:1
Strain-wave gear demonstrator
A working 53.5:1 strain-wave gear with the flex-spline motion on open display and a live reduction dial — from MATLAB modelling through several generations of physical prototype.
LEAD-NUT ASSEMBLY
High-force lift platform
Manually-actuated, high force lift platform with synchronised leadscrews, anti-bind compliance and self-locking backdrive prevention.
Who we are
A Sheffield-based engineering company developing complex hardware, specialist equipment, and production systems. We build what we design, and we test what we build. Being small keeps decisions close to the hardware, and close to you.

Co-FounderHow we work
We bring engineering decisions into contact with real parts and real tests early. That keeps the work practical, exposes problems while they are still fast to solve, and creates a dependable route to production.
Requirements & Architecture
We work to understand your project: current tech, usage conditions, and challenges. We agree on deliverables, scope, and what defines success - and a strategy to work with, not against, your team.
Cross-Discipline Design
Mechanics, electronics, and software are engineered together around the behavior of the complete system, preventing integration traps. We maintain regular communication, keeping us on track and adapting to changing knowledge and needs.
Build, Test & Iterate
We use a mix of prototype and production processes to create parts, assemble units and test every part together. Adjustments are made, designs are refined, and better iterations are built until everything works smoothly.
Test & Handover
We verify device performance against the agreed requirements, regulations and standards. We produce complete design packages, operating documentation and production drawings, and support you through scale-up to production.
