Questions before your idea becomes metal.

Send a short description and whatever you have: a sketch, photograph, reference or physical model. Include approximate dimensions and the intended use. We discuss what needs developing before a model or mould is made.

A photograph, sketch, PDF drawing or 3D file helps. Include dimensions, quantity, purpose and finish. You can upload STEP, STP, STL, OBJ, 3MF, GLB, DWG, DXF, PDF, JPG and PNG, among other formats: up to six files, 15 MB each and 40 MB in total.

In the 3D project studio, suitable STEP, STP, STL, OBJ, 3MF and GLB files can be rotated and displayed with a metal appearance. This helps explore shape and finish. It does not assess strength, castability, weight or the final patina. Photographs and drawings are reviewed separately.

We review your description and files and discuss shape, dimensions, metal, intended use and quantity. We then identify the preparation needed and agree the proposal and planning steps. An enquiry is not a production order.

Yes, you can discuss a one-off object, prototype or small series. There is no fixed quantity suitable for every design. Model making, moulds, size and finish determine the approach. Let us know if you expect to order more pieces later.

Start with the purpose: appearance, weight, use and finish. Bronze and brass can suit art and decorative details; aluminium may be useful where weight matters. We assess metal and alloy for each design. A digital colour preview is not material advice.

An original, fragment or matching component can be the starting point. Send overall and close-up photographs, dimensions and details of the application. We consider repair, 3D scanning, modelling or replacement casting. Permission to reproduce the design must be clear.

Our 3D techniques support modelling, fit checks and preparation of casting patterns. A 3D print is an intermediate stage rather than the finished metal product. We discuss the route from your file to a model, mould and cast component.

That depends on the metal, damage and use. Send a full view and clear close-up photographs with approximate dimensions. We assess whether a repair, new part or another approach is appropriate. A final recommendation may require examination in the workshop.

We consider proportions, height, weight, setting and fixing. Send a photograph, approximate dimensions and information about the location. For a load-bearing plinth, technical details are discussed before deciding on construction.

The price includes preparation and model making, mould construction, the chosen metal, quantity and finishing. Size and complexity also matter. Send the design, dimensions and quantity so we can assess the work needed for a tailored proposal.

Contact us as soon as the shape, purpose or initial idea is clear and mention your target date. We discuss preparation, any model checks, casting and finishing. A delivery date is agreed only after assessing the design and our schedule.

Yes. You can send your description and files online. Tell us the country, delivery location and any transport or installation requirements. These arrangements are considered when discussing the project.
