Design & Special Product Development

 Experienced resources exist to develop products to meet customer specifications. The same processes are involved for external development as for our own internal products. Development is within a framework of our ISO 9001 approval and customer involvement where required.

This can include computer aided product design using SolidWorks and the provision of solid models, hard copy designs or various file formats including pdf, iges, step, dxf  and e-drawing files for example.

Product design can then be taken through to production. Tooling is again designed in SolidWorks and can either be amortised within product price or funded separately as a development cost.

Competitive tooling is sourced from UK specialists who can accept our computer generated designs directly thus eliminating a common source of error.   Optionally, we can provide tooling designs for those customers who believe they can source competitively. 

Depending on the requirements, parts can be produced by injection, transfer or compression moulding.   Many of our products incorporate metallic elements which are sourced from trusted UK manufacturers who have a supply history typically of in excess of 10 years with AVMR.                         

Once manufactured, we can then undertake tests on our UKAS calibrated Zwick/Roell Proline-030 compression & tensile testing machine.   This has 30KN and 1KN load cells calibrated to BS-EN-ISO7500-1:2004.  These load cells cover the range from 4N to 30KN to class 0.5 (down to 2N is to class 1.0)
