Designer / Engineer
Whether you have an in-depth, limited or even zero knowledge of sheet metal fabrication, a call to our experienced team will accelerate your journey to commercialising your product.
If you only have an idea or the roughest of sketches, we can help you refine your user requirements, translate it into a general specification, optimise for sheet metal manufacture and produce full 3D engineering drawings.
If you already have a detailed design, we can help value engineer and optimise for sheet metal manufacture without compromise on quality or performance.
F1 Manufacturing has a long pedigree of “concept to customer” relationships. Along the way to volume production, we understand that prototypes and very small batch runs will be
required and the value they bring to creating a successful product.
