Choose the work you need
Find the right service for your project
Explore a service below, or send one brief for a project that needs several.
Design & prototyping
Turn an idea or existing part into usable files and a tested prototype.
Parts & production
Make a one-off part, production tooling or a repeat batch.
Branding, displays & packaging

Start from where you are
What do you have right now?
You do not need to choose the technical route. Pick the starting point that best matches your project, and we will help define the next step.
I have a print-ready 3D file
Start with manufacturing assessment, material selection, quantity and finish.
I have a physical part
Use scanning and reverse engineering when the object is the only reliable source of geometry.
I have an idea or sketch
Move from requirements and references into CAD, a prototype and a testable result.
I need repeat production
Scope a sample, approved production standard and repeatable batch route.
The complete journey
Your project, step by step
A clear path from your first brief to approved work and delivery.
-
01
You submit
Send the project brief
Share your file, sketch or photos, plus the size, quantity and result you need.
More detail
Use the guided quotation form to share the file, photos or sketch, approximate size, intended use, quantity, finish, deadline and delivery location. Select every service that forms part of the job.
-
02
We review
Review and clarification
We check the brief and clarify any missing information.
More detail
We check whether the information is sufficient to quote accurately. If something important is missing, we request the specific file, measurement, photo or decision required.
-
03
We define
Scope and written quotation
Receive a written scope, price and proposed production route.
More detail
We define the deliverables, material or process, quantity, assumptions, exclusions, validity and delivery route. Where genuine specialist confirmation is required, we identify that step instead of leaving the enquiry without a next action.
-
04
You approve
Approval and payment
Approve the scope and agreed payment terms before work starts.
More detail
You approve the written scope and payment terms. Most work begins after full payment. Larger projects may use an agreed 50% deposit. Production does not start until the required payment is received.
-
05
We build
Design, prototype or manufacture
Your project moves through the approved design and production stages.
More detail
The job follows the approved route. Projects involving design, scanning or product development may include staged reviews before the final manufacture or production batch.
-
06
We verify
Quality check and final balance
We check the work. Any agreed balance is settled before dispatch.
More detail
We check the agreed deliverables, visible finish and practical requirements appropriate to the job. Any approved outstanding balance is due before collection or dispatch.
-
07
Delivered
Dispatch and after-sales support
Collect your project or arrange courier delivery, with support after handover.
More detail
We confirm collection or courier dispatch and provide tracking where available. If you have a query after delivery, reply with the project reference and clear details so the correct team can assess it.
Clear commercial control
What the quotation means
Your written quotation defines the result, assumptions and payment route before production starts.
Change control
New requirements, design revisions or information discovered during development are discussed and priced before extra work continues.
Payment and dispatch
Most work starts after full payment. Larger approved projects may use a 50% deposit, with the balance due before dispatch.
Accurate pricing
What affects your quotation
A reliable quote considers the complete job instead of applying one rate to every type of project.
Design and file readiness
Print-ready CAD is different from new design, scan cleanup, reverse engineering or repairing a damaged model.
Geometry, size and material
Part dimensions, wall thickness, support, strength, temperature, flexibility and surface requirements affect the route.
Quantity and setup
A sample, one-off component and repeat batch carry different setup, testing and production assumptions.
Tolerance and finish
Fit, accuracy, sanding, painting, resin coating, assembly and inspection must be defined where required.
Bought-in components
Electronics, NFC tags, fasteners, packaging, inserts and other components are costed separately when needed.
Deadline and delivery
Urgency, design approvals, production capacity, parcel size, destination and courier handling affect timing and cost.
Before you begin
Common project questions
These answers explain the points that most often affect scoping, pricing and timing.
Can you quote from a photo? +
A clear photo can start the assessment, but accurate manufacturing normally also needs dimensions, a physical sample, scanning or CAD work. Include several angles and a ruler or known-size object for scale.
What if I do not have a CAD file? +
You can start with a sketch, measurements, reference product or physical part. We can assess CAD design, 3D scanning or reverse engineering before manufacturing.
How long does a quotation take? +
Complete print-ready enquiries can usually be assessed faster than projects requiring design, testing or clarification. After review, we confirm the next action and request only the information needed to complete the scope.
Can the price change after approval? +
The approved quotation covers its written scope and assumptions. If you request a change, new information is discovered, or a prototype requires a revised route, we explain the effect and obtain approval before additional work continues.
Do you require full payment? +
Most products and service jobs require full payment before work starts. Larger approved projects may use a 50% deposit, with the balance payable before dispatch.
Do you support customers throughout South Africa? +
Yes. We review projects nationwide and can coordinate suitable parts, samples and finished work by courier. Delivery assumptions are confirmed in the quotation.
