Our experienced design department can take a design of any type, whether a detailed mockup or a basic concept, our team will evolve your idea by applying their own skills and industry knowledge into a 3D mockup using state of the art software. Constant communication is key, and our design department will remain in regular contact with the client to ensure that the final product satisfies their needs completely.  F3 uses state of the art Radan software alongside market leading 2D and 3D design packages to create a visualised mockup of any product. Using this we can analyse every single component in the product, showing the materials used and what the internal workings look like.  Our software exports directly to our machines, meaning that you can be sure no errors arise in the transfer of design stage to manufacturing stage. All design services are produced in house just like the rest of our production stages. DESIGN & CAD
