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.
Engineers based inManchester, UK
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.
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.
○ UpcomingCheaper manufacturing usually means giving up control. Not here. Forgeline sits in the middle as your British partner — we hold the contracts, the relationships, the QC and the liability. You keep the savings and the accountability.
The same part, to the same drawing, built through our partner network for a fraction of UK or EU cost. For most teams that's a whole extra hire freed up.
Every quote, design review and QC report passes a UK-based mechanical engineer. We catch problems before metal is cut — not after parts land on your bench.
No Alibaba, no mystery suppliers. Our factories are audited, ISO-certified partners we've worked with for years — and we take on new ones rarely.
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. You're never the one carrying the risk.
Send a drawing or just a description — a British engineer replies within one working day.
Request Quote →A few of the products we've taken from brief to delivery — the problem, the number we saved them, and what the person who signed it off actually said.
Precision Kart was paying £117 a unit for a machined sprocket in Britain. We moved it to a vetted partner and held the ±0.02 mm tolerance. The inspected first articles came in at £13 a unit, with no redesign and no compromise on quality.
Forest Digital needed bespoke large CNC components for a new printing machine. We took it from concept to finished, inspected parts ready to build in.
A non-technical founder had a concept and no factory. We ran design for manufacture, prototyping, production, finishing and custom retail packaging — then shipped sellable, boxed units straight to their fulfilment warehouse.
