FAQs

Scan-to-CAD reverse engineering involves capturing a physical object’s geometry using 3D scanning, then converting that data into precise CAD models for design, modification, or manufacturing purposes.

Yes - our solid surface materials are specified with fire-retardant properties to meet safety standards.

Absolutely. Solid surface materials are designed for durability and repeated use in public, commercial, and industrial environments.

We use high-performance polyester resin systems blended with mineral fillers and pigments to achieve the required strength and surface quality.

Outsourcing is cheaper, has greater time and investment savings, and eliminates technical overhead. We provide the tooling, material, and quality so that you can focus on your core business.

We offer gloss, semi-gloss, or textured finishes, using gelcoats in a range of colours. Topcoat or paint may also be applied where required.

GRP is highly resistant to chemicals, UV, corrosion, and water, making it ideal for harsh or outdoor uses.

General methods are open mould lay-up (hand lay/chop spray), resin transfer moulding (RTM), and vacuum infusion. Each process is suitable for different volumes, surface finishes, and performance specifications.

GRP is lightweight, resistant to chemicals, and cost-effective for complex shapes. GRP has a higher strength-to-weight ratio and is more design and manufacturing flexible than metal or plastic alternatives.

Turnkey CNC kitting and prototyping refers to a full-service process where custom parts are machined, organised into kits, and delivered as ready-to-assemble prototypes, ideal for speeding up product development.

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining is a manufacturing process that uses computer-guided tools to cut, shape, and finish materials with extreme precision. It’s ideal for producing complex, high-accuracy parts in metals, plastics, and composites.

Validating mould patterns against CAD data ensures the tooling matches design specifications exactly, reducing errors, improving part quality, and minimising costly rework during production.

Mould verification using scan data compares the physical mould geometry with its CAD model, identifying deviations or defects early to prevent costly production errors.

Modern 3D scanning technologies can achieve accuracies within microns, making them highly reliable for verifying patterns and moulds against CAD designs to ensure manufacturing precision.

GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) is a composite material made by reinforcing a plastic resin with glass fibres, resulting in a lightweight yet strong product. It’s widely used in industries such as automotive, marine, construction, and aerospace for manufacturing durable parts and structures that require high strength-to-weight ratios.

Yes, scanned 3D data can be processed and converted into highly accurate CAD models, enabling reverse engineering, design adjustments, and precise tooling creation.
