VISUAL COMMUNICATION

Specialist products requiring careful consideration can be modeled, detailed and forwarded for manufacture in UK or using overseas suppliers.

With the drop in skilled labour and a transient workforce, the need for easily understandable documentation is growing. “Picture speaks a thousand words” is now rapidly becoming a more common way of showing operatives exactly what is required. Digital photography combined with 3D CAD now make technical documentation easier, showing illustrations and step by step guide to product manufacture. This type of detailing and technical documentation is now becoming a large part of our workload.

STAINLESS STEEL

We have worked on a range projects requiring
theuse of high quality metals, with high resistance
to corrosion, ranging from catering, medical and
marine.

CNC COMPONENT NESTING

With increasing material costs, reduced wastage is critical; therefore nesting of components is essential to efficient productivity.

Drawing detail can be saved out to DXF (drawing eXchange format) allowing easy file communication for CNC machining.

Custom templating service for flooring areas, bar counter and food servery working surfaces such as granite, avonite and glass.

Upholstery foam profiles for commercial seating and specialist packaging.

BESPOKE FURNITURE

Formerly trained and qualified in Architectural Joinery through the UK City & Guilds apprenticeship scheme.

Having over 25 years experience within the construction Industry, we have covered many specialist areas of custom joinery from listed buildings, MOD facilities, UK airports and hotels.

The marine industry and luxury yacht interiors can be very challenging, with quality and standards requiring the highest attention to detail.

EXHIBITION, PACKAGING & DISPLAY

With more products being transported in greater volumes, the requirement for specialist packaging and storage through the logistics process have provided us with some interesting projects.

Point of Sale (POS) and marketing services using folded card, vacuum formed acrylics and light boxes are amongst some of the items we illustrate.

BILL OF MATERIALS

Materials can be listed in single level or multi level formats, using clients existing templates or new documents can be created, with company logo’s inserted for clear branding identification. Components displayed on drawings can be displayed in exploded views and numbered to cross reference with parts detailed on cutting and material handling lists.
