Design & DFM
Bring us a sketch, a brief, or a CAD file. Our British engineers turn it into a manufacturable design — or refine yours to save you money on the build.
Your manufacturing partner at every stage.
From initial prototypes and sample runs to full production and packaging, we help bring products to market through our trusted engineering and manufacturing network.
Design, prototype, manufacture, finish, assemble, package. We don't hand you off to five suppliers, one British team manages the whole journey.

3, 4 and 5-axis milling and live-tool turning. Aluminium, steel, titanium, brass, engineering plastics. Production runs from 10 to 10,000+.
Laser cutting, press-brake bending, welding. Mild steel, stainless, aluminium up to 12mm. Powder coat and finishing in-line.
Industrial-grade additive for functional prototypes and short runs. First parts in hand within days — ideal for design validation before tooling up.
Anodising, plating, painting, bead blast, sub-assembly, wire harnessing, sourcing of off-the-shelf components. The finished product, not just the parts.
Custom boxes, inserts, branded inserts, retail-ready packaging. We can ship sellable units to your warehouse or fulfil direct from the factory.
Whether you need a single sample or a full production run, every project gets a UK-based engineer who runs it end to end. You don't deal with the factory, chase suppliers, or manage QC. We do.
Send a CAD, a sketch, a sample, or just describe the product and quantity. A British engineer replies within one working day with a fixed-price quote.
✓ CompletedApprove a first article, prototype or sample before you commit to volume. Need design help? Our engineers can refine or build it from scratch.
✓ OptionalProduction at our vetted partner factories. Inspected before it ships, never sent on hope. You see photos at every stage.
● In progressAssembly, finishing, packaging, DDP shipping to your door or warehouse. Duty and VAT handled. One invoice, in GBP or EUR.
○ UpcomingYou shouldn't have to choose between affordable manufacturing and peace of mind. Forgeline is the British company in the middle — we hold the contracts, the relationships, the quality control, and the liability. You get the savings.
Our partner factory network typically saves customers 40–60% versus the same part made in Britain. That's the difference between hiring an extra engineer or not.
Every quote, every design review, every QC report passes a UK-based mechanical engineer. We catch issues before parts are cut, not after they ship.
We don't use Alibaba. Our factories are partners we've worked with for years, audited, ISO-certified, and on the hook for quality. We don't add new ones lightly.
Your contract is with Forgeline Ltd in the UK. If a part fails inspection at your end, we remake it — at our cost, on our timeline. Your business isn't the risk-taker.
No chatbots, no instant-quote algorithms, no spam. A British mechanical engineer reviews every request and replies within one working day with a fixed-price quote and a realistic timeline.
Takes 60 seconds. Any stage — sketch to CAD.
