Service 03
Manufacturing
Manufacturing support for made-to-print components, assemblies and fabrication.
Overview
Why this matters
When a component is no longer available, was never a catalogue item, or needs to be adapted, manufacturing is the route. We place made-to-print work with a qualified base covering machining, fabrication, casting and assembly, and manage the quality plan so what arrives matches the drawing and the duty.
Industries served
Capabilities
What this service covers
Made-to-print machining
CNC turning and milling to drawing, with material certification where required.
Fabrication and welding
Structural and pressure fabrication to recognised welding standards with qualified procedures.
Reverse engineering
Drawings produced from a physical sample where the original documentation no longer exists.
Assembly and testing
Sub-assembly build and function testing before dispatch, with test records supplied.
Quality planning
Inspection and test plans agreed before manufacture so acceptance criteria are not disputed afterwards.
Process
How it works
A defined sequence, with the decision points made explicit so nothing is discovered late.

FAQ
Manufacturing — common questions
Yes. We produce a dimensioned drawing from the sample, confirm material by analysis where necessary, and get your approval on the drawing before manufacture begins.
From one-off replacement components through to production batches. The economics change with quantity, and we will tell you honestly when a catalogue alternative is the better commercial answer.
