Prototyping

At PDG Ltd we offer a full prototyping and model making service. Prototyping is one of the best ways to bring a design to life and this service can be used to produce fully functioning and presentation models. Prototypes can also be produced for verification purposes and to help eliminate errors and issues before full production begins. Our prototyping service is cost effective especially when it comes to ironing out errors before full production begins. It is a lot easier to fix any issues during the prototype stage rather than wait until production begins. Contact us to find out about our prototype and model making service.

Prototyping Services at PDG

PDG Ltd can help with your prototyping needs whether you are looking for a fully functioning prototype, a presentation model or using a prototype for verification purposes. We have the in house facilities, designers and engineering knowledge to produce a prototype to fulfil your needs. We offer a range of prototyping services including rapid prototyping (SLA, SLS, FDM, Z Corp), vacuum casting as well as rapid machining and metal parts. Prototyping is one of the most important parts of a production process and is also cost effective when it comes to error checking before full production begins.

We have been producing, managing and delivering products for our satisfied clients since 1993 and have built many long term business relationships with our clients.

At PDG Ltd we have the capabilities and in house facilities to offer a complete service from design to prototyping to full production.

We also have 20 years of experience in the manufacturing industry and have built a network of preferred partners. We are capable of producing one off bespoke items and the production of high volume batches. We continually invest in the latest training and equipment to ensure that our design and manufacturing processes are second to none. Having an in house production facility means we are very flexible and can often make last minute changes if needed during the production process.

Our Clients

We have worked with some of the most innovative and forward thinking clients to bring their product designs to life. Our well-known clients include Anon, Deb Group Ltd, Swimbox, Sonatest Ltd and Abel Technology, to name just a few. Our clients rely on us to develop concepts, create fully working prototypes and produce high quality end products.

We have a quick turnaround time and will keep our clients informed on the progress of their product throughout the entire design to manufacturing process.

Our Process

At PDG Ltd we understand that each of our clients has different needs and requirements. We will discuss these requirements with our clients before assessing the correct and most cost effective process to move forward with. We can work from a client’s brief on design applications using 3D CAD and this can include fully functioning prototypes and verification models. We have three set stages taking the form of design, prototype, production and markets, and these stages will depend on the client’s requirement. We love a challenge and welcome enquiries from clients who have unusual design specifications that we may be able to help with.
