Modelling CAD/CAM/3D

Leveraging industry specific CAD/CAM software to create accurate, high-quality sheet metal designs tailored to your exact specifications. Our expert team of Engineers collaborates closely with you, providing technical guidance and innovative solutions to optimise your designs for performance, manufacturing efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

We utilise Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software to create custom sheet metal solutions with unmatched accuracy and efficiency. CAD enables us to work with customers to develop their designs for complex and bespoke assemblies, while CAM technology allows us to quickly and precisely convert these designs into finished components.

Our systems are versatile as we are able to work with several major file formats, including STEP, IGES and STL. By leveraging the latest technology, we deliver accurate and efficient designs, ensuring optimal results for every project. With a focus on efficiency and attention to detail,we aim to exceed expectations and be your trusted partner in bringing your vision to life. Our goal is to streamline the assembly and installation process, making it more efficient for both us and the customer.

The integration of Radan with our process management system streamlines workflows, improving communication and ultimately reducing lead times. Additionally, the barcoding system enables full traceability throughout the manufacturing process, offering customers complete visibility and confidence in the quality and progress of their projects. This powerful combination of software ensures we deliver optimal results, faster turnaround times, and unparalleled accuracy, supporting our commitment to meeting your unique requirements.
