From everyday problem to engineered product

Design and manufacturing services built around your idea

Whether you have a rough concept, a difficult problem to solve or a product ready to develop, 101 Design LTD brings the design thinking, prototyping and manufacturing capability together in one practical process.

Product idea development

Turn an everyday frustration or initial concept into a clear, workable product direction. We help explore what is needed, define the opportunity and shape ideas that are practical to design and build.

3D design and rapid prototyping

See your concept take shape before committing to production. Using modern 3D design tools and the latest 3D printing technology, we create prototypes that help test form, function and fit.

Laser-cut metal fabrication

We laser cut and manufacture robust components and products in steel and aluminium. Our fabrication service supports practical custom solutions, from individual parts to developed product builds.

Custom product manufacturing

Bring your finished design into production with a manufacturing approach tailored to the product. We unite design, 3D printing, laser cutting and metalwork to create solutions that others may consider impossible.

“101 Design took a challenging everyday problem and turned it into a thoughtful, practical product solution. Their hands-on approach from concept through to manufacture made the process clear and achievable.”
