Before the laser

We start where your file stops.

Not every project arrives with a perfect CAD file. Our metal product design service turns sketches, PDFs and rough ideas into flat patterns and production drawings that actually work on our lasers, press brakes and welding benches - so you spend less and get parts sooner.

  • Sketch, PDF or STEP - we work from anything
  • Design-for-manufacture before it hits the laser
  • Same team cuts and folds what we draw

“From the first phone enquiry to receiving the parts just 24 hours later they were brilliant.”

What we work from

Bring us whatever you have - we are used to working from rough sketches, PDFs, photos, existing samples and full 3D models.

  • Hand sketches and marked-up drawings
  • DXF, DWG, STEP and SolidWorks files
  • Reverse engineering from existing parts
  • Repeat design updates and revisions

Software & workflow

Our offline programming and nesting tools ensure efficient material use and accurate, repeatable production. Drawings flow directly from design to the shop floor without translation errors.

  • Radan 3D CAD
  • Bysoft 7 rapid nesting
  • Jetcam Professional
  • SolidWorks

From design to finished part

Once your design is approved, we laser cut, bend, roll, weld and finish in-house - one team, one factory, one point of contact from first enquiry to delivery.
