Design Consultancy

Industrial design consultancy specialising in additive manufacturing and digital fabrication is simply about making great solutions for your customers that make the most of what the technology has to offer.

Bespoke Design

Digital fabrication, like 3D printing and CNC, can be used to create one-off or small batches of customised products, furniture and artefacts, suited exactly to your requirements.

Research

Sometimes you need to better understand the problem before you can find the right solution.

Design Consultancy

  • We work as an addition to your team and bring our expertise, as well as our network of partners, to develop new products following a four phase design process framework.

    Our development of end-use parts and products manufactured using digital fabrication at a batch or mass production scale, leans into benefits like mass customisation and on-demand production, without losing the human touch.

    We can guide you through additive manufacturing adoption, optimising for the technology and envisioning new customer journeys and supply chains, while keeping in mind the beauty, sustainability and rigour of iconic product design.

    Reach out to us and let’s take a look together at how industrial design for digital fabrication could benefit your business and customers.

Bespoke Design

  • We’re on hand to listen to your creative brief, propose novel concepts, develop them into tangible solutions and have them physically made for you, using digital craft and connecting with digital making. These techniques and technologies are ideal for builds with complex forms, a need for personalisation or branding and unusual dimensional constraints.

    Whether it’s a detailed architectural model for your high-value bid, a made-to-measure storage solution for your office space, a custom furniture concept for your branded event, or something else altogether, we are your studio for delivering bespoke design and procuring local production.

    Tell us about your idea and why an off-the-shelf solution just won't do.

    • Facilitation of delivery and installation of tailored products

    • Brand differentiation with design

Research

  • We aim to strike a balance between theory and practice. One informs the other, keeping our analyses pragmatic and our design work contemporary. That’s why we carry out research that supports and builds capacity towards an alternative and sustainable vision for how we make things, made possible using digital fabrication.

    By applying our experience with qualitative methods, design thinking and systems thinking, we can lead on developing standards, writing white papers and conducting feasibility studies into fields ranging from distributed design, circular economy, additive manufacturing adoption and design innovation.

    We also share, discuss and teach our insights and have experience giving workshops, training and presentations, so that you can add value to your community, inspire your design team or simply learn the state-of-the-art.
