Design

Our Design Team uses 3D CAD software, such as CATIA, SolidWorks and Autodesk products, to produce your concept in the virtual environment. The CAD software has many benefits, including giving us the ability to plan the manufactured products to help us manufacture our equipment correct first time and allows us to build around your product parts CAD, where required.
