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.
From prototype to production, we combine British engineering expertise with a trusted global manufacturing network to deliver precision parts, assemblies and finished products without the complexity.
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.
Anodising, plating, painting, bead blast, powder coat and passivation. Protective, durable finishes applied 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. We manage the drawings, manufacturing, quality control, finishing and shipping. Door to door.
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 with Forgeline. Our British engineers check every part before it's made, our trusted factories build it, and we stand behind whatever ships. You get the quality you'd expect from home and the savings you wouldn't, with one team answerable for both.
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 positive number on the bottom line.
We pride ourselves on customer service. One named engineer keeps you updated at every step, with photos and honest timelines. Transparency throughout is our main focus, and the best relationships are built on it.
Your work goes to a small circle of factories we've built relationships with over years, not a faceless bidding pool. Each one is visited, audited and ISO-certified before it ever touches your parts.
If a part doesn't meet the agreed spec, we remake it free, on a priority turnaround. And if we still can't get it right, you get a full refund. Your contract is with Forgeline Ltd in the UK. The risk is ours, never yours.
Nothing ships on hope. Each batch is checked against your drawing before it leaves the floor, so what lands on your bench is what you actually ordered, first time.
Send a drawing or just a description, and 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.
JNKD needed an existing part recreated with no original drawings. We reverse-engineered it, designed in the changes they wanted, proved it with a sample, then ran it through to a full production run.
No chatbots, no instant-quote algorithms, no spam. Our British engineers will review your request and reply within one working day with a fixed-price quote and a realistic timeline.
