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

Building success together

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.
