Product Development service 

                    Experts in Product Development,  Design For Manufacture,  Tool Design,  Reverse Engineering,  Rapid Prototyping,  Multi Material Tooling,  Diecast Dies,  Plastic Injection Moulds,  High Speed Machining,   Specilized Machining,  Hard Metal Machining, And Much Much More....................................

Frontier Design Limited specialise in concept and product design, design for manufacture, reverse engineering and both plastic and diecast tool design.  We have experience from the smallest medical parts to the largest automotive mouldings.  We have a very capable CNC machining section and workshop.

In our Product development centre we can produce production tooling, rapid prototype tooling and other models in a wide range of materials. We have expertise in many types of tooling including multi material and other specialised processes. We can take a concept sketch or an existing part and make it reality, working with our customers to make any project scaleable in the real world.

We also offer a comprehensive model making service machining "one off" or small batch components. We have a strong machining team with experience in many types of material and processes. Offering high speed machining giving us the ability of machining, hard metal, high detail, and finishes that can reduce the need for polishing.

Also we have our own injection moulding facilities enabling us to produce quick turn around prototype parts to production quality in the correct material. This can  exponentially speed up time to market as we can work concurrently with designers to ensure the quickest route from design to manufacture.

We have gained an excellent reputation with several large pharmaceutical Companies helping to develop their medical devices by consulting on manufacturing design issues, and providing quick turn around production quality prototype injection moulded parts. 

Our Mission

To provide a comprehensive service from concept, through the design process to manufacturing quality data, giving our customers a one stop solution from concept to manufacture.

We aim to speed up the design process using concurrent and practical design methods using our vast experience in design for manufacture.

Company Capabilities

The design facility incorporates ProEngineer, Delcam PowerSHAPE, Delcam PS Mould, Delcam PS Draft, Delcam CopyCAD, Renishaw Trace and NC Graphics. Scanning of 3D models is achieved using a Renishaw Cyclone Digitiser, Parts can then be machined directly from scanned data, or converted into 3D surfaces via CopyCAD and or PowerSHAPE. Broadband is available for data transfer.

Machining and cutter path creation by various CAM systems is another service offered, with a model making facility that uses the latest computer skills alongside traditional craftwork.   The CAM department is equipped with, PowerMILL, and PowerSHAPE.

Our close association with end users, toolmakers, moulders and die casters has given us invaluable practical experience, thereby enabling us to give a technical service for precision design and  manufacture.

The CAM room is linked via fibre optics to the CNC Machining Room and production is carried out on modern high technology machinery: that includes a Roeder RFM600 High Speed (42000 rpm) machining centre, Charmilles wire and plunge EDM a Fast Hole Burner and an ST Super Tec 2040ADC surface grinder. This high technology machinery together with our first class craftsmen enables us to give a comprehensive manufacturing service.
