Research & Development
Driving innovation in FRP through advanced design, modelling, and manufacturing techniques
Our R&D Capabilities
We invest in research and development to continuously improve our processes, explore new materials, and deliver better FRP solutions through modern tools and techniques.
3D Modelling & CAD Design
Every FRP product starts with precise digital modelling. We use 3D CAD software to design components, simulate fit, and validate dimensions before any physical work begins.
- 3D solid modelling of FRP components
- Assembly design & fit verification
- Technical drawing generation (GA, fabrication drawings)
- Design iteration before production commitment
Product Design & Conceptualisation
From concept sketches to production-ready designs — we handle the complete design lifecycle for FRP products tailored to client specifications.
- Concept development from client requirements
- Material selection & layup design
- Structural considerations for FRP parts
- Design-for-manufacturing optimisation
FRP Mould Development
Moulds are the backbone of FRP manufacturing. We develop precision moulds for consistent, repeatable production of fiberglass components.
- Plug & mould making from scratch
- Split moulds for complex geometries
- Mould surface finishing & gel coat application
- Multi-cavity mould design for production runs
Die & Pattern Making
We create dies and patterns using foam, wood, and FRP — the critical first step for producing accurate fiberglass parts at any scale.
- Foam pattern cutting & shaping
- Wooden master pattern development
- FRP die fabrication
- Pattern accuracy verification & correction
Fixture & Jig Making
Custom fixtures and jigs for holding, aligning, and assembling FRP parts during fabrication — ensuring consistency and precision across batches.
- Assembly fixtures for multi-part FRP products
- Trimming & drilling jigs
- Alignment tools for large structures
- Reusable production tooling
AI-Assisted Design & Analysis
We leverage AI tools to speed up design workflows, generate concepts, optimise material usage, and explore design variations — bringing modern technology into traditional FRP manufacturing.
- AI-powered concept generation & visualisation
- Design optimisation for weight & strength
- Automated drawing & documentation assistance
- Rapid prototyping workflow acceleration
Scale Modelling & Prototyping
Before committing to full production, we build scale models and prototypes for design validation, client approval, and testing.
- Scaled-down models for large projects
- Functional prototypes for testing
- Client presentation models
- Design validation before tooling investment
Material Research & Testing
We continuously research resin systems, reinforcement materials, and layup techniques to deliver stronger, lighter, and more durable FRP solutions.
- Resin compatibility studies (polyester, vinyl ester, epoxy)
- Glass fibre & mat selection optimisation
- Layup sequence experimentation
- Gel coat & surface finish R&D
Our R&D Approach
How we integrate research into every project
Understand
Study the requirement, environment, and constraints before designing
Design
Create 3D models, drawings, and select optimal materials
Prototype
Build scale models or prototypes to validate the design
Refine & Produce
Iterate on feedback, finalise tooling, and move to production
