Rapid Prototyping + Manufacture

PDR has been a pioneer of rapid prototyping and manufacturing technologies for over 15 years and our in house workshops encompassing both prototype and rapid low volume production parts in a variety of polymers and metals is an integral part of what we do.

Our facilities and expertise is extensive encompassing many different technologies, materials and processes.

The ability to produce accurate parts rapidly and at low cost is an essential component in both markets where traditional higher volume manufacturing routes are not viable and where proving and testing components prior to more significant tooling investment is required.

Product Design + Development

We undertake the full range of product design activity needed to take a product from its conception through to successful market launch and beyond. We repeatedly develop solutions that connect to users and shake up markets. We do this consistently to budget, on time and to target margin.

Our work is thorough, focussed and highly creative from initial research and insight right through to detail engineering, tooling and manufacturing implementation. We develop practical, commercially successful solutions, minimising risk and maximising market impact and margin.

With more than 16 major international design awards won for the companies we work with in the last 5 years PDR is internationally recognised as a leading product design and development consultancy.
