Capabilities
Design with Metals
Precision Products in Metal
Sheet metal, machined, cast and extruded parts designed with the right alloys, processes and finishes for strength, durability and cost.
Metal Design Expertise
We have substantial experience designing many different product types in a wide variety of metals, manufacturing methods and finishes. From punched, laser cut and folded sheet steel and aluminium to CNC machined parts, extrusions and investment castings, we select the materials and processes that give the right balance of strength, weight, appearance and cost. Finishes such as anodising, Alocrom and zinc plating, and epoxy painting are specified to protect parts and suit the product's environment. The examples below describe the materials and manufacturing methods used.
● METALS
Metal Processes & Finishes
Sheet Metal Fabrication
Punched, laser cut and folded steel and aluminium chassis, enclosures and brackets designed for efficient fabrication.
Machining & Extrusions
Precision CNC machined parts in aluminium and steel, plus extruded aluminium profiles for frames, panels, housings and feet.
Castings & Pressings
Investment castings, die castings and pressed parts in aluminium and steel, machined where precision is needed.
Plating, Anodising & Paint
Anodising, Alocrom, zinc and nickel plating, and epoxy paint finishes chosen for corrosion protection and appearance.
