Selected work

Design. Make. Refine.

A snapshot of practical development work — CAD, machining, fabrication, workholding and one-off component development.

CAD line model of tubular structure
Design / Development

Tubular structure development

CAD-led development used to control packaging, interfaces and tube geometry before fabrication.

Fabricated tube component in a jig
Fabrication / Workholding

Controlled tubular fabrication

Purpose-built workholding keeps a fabricated assembly located and repeatable through manufacture.

Machined plate being held in a workshop
Machining / Tooling

Machined fixture plate

One-off machined tooling and fixture work developed around the component and process requirement.

Machined metal component on a bench
Prototype / Machining

First-off machined detail

Fast workshop development from raw stock to a functional, application-specific component.

Turned metal components on a workbench
Turning / Detail parts

Precision turned components

Small-batch and one-off turned parts produced around fit, interface and functional geometry.

Close-up welded detail on tubular assembly
Fabrication / Detail

Fabricated assembly detail

Close attention to joint preparation, fit-up and access where a compact assembly has to work as a whole.

CAD / Development

Design review before manufacture

Geometry, interfaces and manufacturing intent are developed in CAD before parts move into the workshop, keeping the route from model to component controlled and practical.

Project method

Show the engineering, not just the finished part.

The value is in the route from requirement to component: constraints understood, geometry controlled, manufacture considered and the result refined around real fit and function.

  • Problem or requirement
  • Key engineering constraint
  • Manufacturing approach
  • Finished result and application
