Introduction
Steve Elliot
After 35 years experience in the design and manufacture of high quality consumer composite products, in such markets as automotive, marine, industrial and energy sectors, I have specialist experience in medium to high volume composite production and have built a reputation for the development of highly innovative composite solutions.
Services Offered
Design for manufacture consultancy
I have aided many companies through the initial design stages of their products, providing advice and insight to the possibilities and pitfalls of composite components.
Early involvement in design
The input of an experienced composite developer early in the design stage results in the optimisation of the product in regards to strength, weight and appearance, as well as ease of manufacture.
Prototyping
I can provide cost effective, meaningful prototypes that demonstrate the key attributes of a given design.
Mould design and manufacture
I can design and manufacture closed moulds suitable for a given design, ensuring reliability and a long service life.
Complete production development
I can design turn-key moulding systems, including moulds, material selection, cutting templates, standard operating procedures and trimming processes.
Component manufacture
For clients not wishing to manufacture the components themselves, I can provide production solutions myself, or using one of my manufacturing partners with whom I have enjoyed long trading relationships.
