OUR Studio

Melbourne based purpose built studio & workshop

Our Melbourne based studio and workshop is set up to provide the best environment for success. The studio provides collaborative work spaces, state of the art digital design tools and additive manufacturing printers. While the workshop is custom set up for building, assembling and testing of product prototypes.

Our workshop allows us to design, build and test design assumptions quickly. We conduct pre-compliance testing on site to find and correct issues early in the process.

Having these facilities in-house allows us to move quickly through design iteration and offer cost effective development programs.

OUR PROCESS

Collaborating for
our shared success

We love the variety and cross pollination that comes from working in new innovation. Every industrial design or product engineering program is different, we thrive on designing agile processes that deliver great value and creative outcomes for our clients. 

We are at home across the entire development process. This could be generating insights into your new product strategy, right through to investigating new materials and cutting-edge manufacturing technologies. It’s the combination of deep design understanding , engineering competence and commitment to testing that allows us to deliver great results.

OUR CERTIFICATION

ISO 9001 certified

We are ISO 9001 accredited. We have pursued this accreditation to recognise the systems that underpin our service and to improve our integration with clients that have us work into their ISO quality systems. 

A big part of the work we have put into this accreditation has been to develop our systems in a way that delivers records and quality outcomes for our customers, without compromising our adaptable project approach and designers creativity.
