From sketch to finished part

Design, analysis and fabrication under one roof. We take a problem from a hand-drawn sketch to a tested, manufacturable part, for one-off prototypes or production runs.

What we do

Services

Chartered engineers and fabricators working together, so designs are checked against cost and manufacturability from the first sketch.

Design

Concept & 3D CAD

  • Hand sketches turned into full 3D models and drawings
  • Chassis and spaceframe design
  • Jigs, fixtures, stillages and lifting equipment

Analysis

FEA & simulation

  • Proof and fatigue FE analysis of castings and fabrications
  • Rail vehicle dynamic simulation
  • Test programmes for motorsport and automotive

Vehicle engineering

Chassis & suspension

  • Bespoke suspension, spring and damper design and tuning
  • Engine transplants, cooling and air-conditioning systems
  • EV conversions and complete vehicles for film

Manufacture

Fabrication & prototyping

  • In-house CNC sheet and tube plasma cutting
  • MIG and TIG welding, machining
  • 3D printing and rapid prototypes

About us

Engineering is our passion

Insight is a small, multi-skilled team of chartered engineers and designers with over two decades of theoretical and hands-on experience. We work with large OEMs, small companies and individuals.

We are as comfortable running complex calculations as we are welding a one-off fabrication, and we design with cost and manufacturability at the front of every decision.
