Rapid prototyping
We 3D print prototype dunnage — the protective inserts that hold your parts — quickly and accurately, so designs can be tested and refined without waiting for full production.
CAD & 3D Printing
SolidWorks models and in-house 3D printing let you see, load and sign off your stillage while it’s still a drawing — so the first one off the line is the right one.
Why it matters
Advanced CAD and 3D printing bring real benefits to design and prototyping. We work closely with you from the start, producing detailed concept drawings and 3D models that demonstrate exactly how your stillage will function.
That upfront collaboration means every requirement is met and approved before manufacturing begins — preventing costly changes later on.
In-house 3D printing
We 3D print prototype dunnage — the protective inserts that hold your parts — quickly and accurately, so designs can be tested and refined without waiting for full production.
Our team prints the moulds for bespoke PU dunnage, which cuts the overall weight of the stillage while keeping its strength and durability.
Working through 3D-printed samples lets us find the enhancements that improve efficiency and durability in the final design — before anything goes to full-scale production.
Proof of concept
Using SolidWorks, our engineers build virtual 3D models to give you a complete proof of concept. These show exactly how the stillage will accommodate a range of part sizes, weights and shapes, so the final product is versatile and fit for purpose.
You can even virtually “load” your stillage with different components to verify it meets every usage scenario — confidence that it will perform in real-world conditions, and room to adjust early if it won’t.
Footprint
Precise CAD lets us tailor each stillage to your facility’s layout and storage requirements — optimising dimensions and configurations so every unit makes the most of the floor and warehouse space you have.
In use or stacked away, they maximise storage capacity without compromising accessibility or safety. You handle more inventory within the same footprint, which means smoother workflows and lower cost.
Questions
SolidWorks. Our engineers build virtual 3D models of your stillage so you get a complete proof of concept before manufacture begins.
Yes. We produce detailed concept drawings and 3D models that show exactly how your stillage will function, and nothing goes to production until you have approved them.
Yes — send a drawing, a CAD file, a photo or the part itself. We can model around an existing component and design the dunnage to suit it.
Design and engineering time is quoted as part of the project. Talk to us about what you need and we will be clear about what is included before you commit.
Dunnage is the protective insert that locates and cushions parts inside the stillage. Printing prototypes lets us prove the fit and refine it, then print the moulds for the production polyurethane version.
