We provide design and drafting services for custom metal fabrication projects, specializing in steel structures, brackets, and sheet metal components. Our services include:
Stop guessing and start building. This is our core service, delivering fabrication-ready drawings & CAD files that your local fabricator or machine shop can review and use for production. Packages include detailed weld symbols, GD&T (where applicable), full material specifications, and a quantified cut list (Bill of Materials) to simplify ordering and reduce waste. Well suited to custom steel furniture, heavy-duty brackets, and shop fixtures.
Have a sketch or an idea but need a verifiable model? We convert your concepts, photos, or old 2D sketches into accurate, parametric 3D CAD models. This service provides the digital foundation you need for visualization, part fit-up checks, and quoting before committing to production. We deliver industry-standard files (.STEP, .STL) ready for review.
Optimise your enclosures, covers, and panel designs for fast, low-cost sheet metal fabrication. We take your final 3D design and generate the precise 2D flat pattern file, complete with defined bend lines and allowances. Deliverables include optimised .DXF files typically suitable to send to your laser or plasma cutter, helping reduce prep time and support accurate bends.
Need a mounting solution that doesn't exist off-the-shelf? We design simple L, Z, U, or custom angle brackets for specific applications, from wall-mount supports and handrail interfaces to equipment stiffeners. We focus on choosing appropriate material thickness and precise hole patterns for straightforward bolt-on installation, providing a strong, simple, buildable design.
We provide design and drafting for simple, welded, and bolted steel structures, specializing in custom frames for machinery, heavy-duty shelving, and utility stands. We focus on rigidity and ease of fabrication using standard profiles (e.g., equal angle, square hollow section). This service delivers detailed weldment drawings and accurate cut lists to support robust, straightforward assembly (Note: This service is limited to low-stress applications and does not include professional engineering certifications or complex load calculations).
Need a physical prototype of your bracket or custom component? We prepare your 3D models specifically for Additive Manufacturing. This service focuses on watertight geometry, suitable scaling, and practical preparation for common 3D printing materials (e.g., PLA, ABS). We deliver clean .STL or .OBJ files that are generally suitable for upload to online 3D printing services or in-house machines, allowing for quick and affordable physical fit-checking.
Do you have a rough sketch or an existing 3D model that needs professional guidance? We offer focused design consultation to review your project for Design for Manufacturing (DFM). We advise on material selection, simplified joinery (welding vs. bolting), fabrication efficiency, and cost reduction before you start cutting metal. This minimises errors and optimises your design for the workshop.
Get durable, aesthetic plans for your outdoor metal projects. We design custom welded steel furniture frames (tables, benches), modular planter boxes, fire pit bases, and bespoke outdoor storage solutions. Our designs prioritize longevity against the elements, aesthetic appeal, and simplicity for fabrication using materials like mild steel, stainless or aluminium. We deliver fabrication-oriented drawings and 3D models so your local fabricator can create a stylish, enduring piece.
