Design for Rotherham businesses
Rotherham's steel and coal history has turned into one of the UK's best known advanced manufacturing clusters. The Advanced Manufacturing Park at Waverley houses the AMRC, the Nuclear AMRC and McLaren's composites centre, and a ring of machining, coating, tooling and inspection firms supplies aerospace, automotive and nuclear customers. Those suppliers need design work that is precise rather than decorative.
The most common request is CAD: redrawing old paper drawings into DWG, building 3D models from a sample part, or producing STEP files a customer can drop into their assembly. We draw to BS 8888 conventions, with clear title blocks, revision tables and tolerances, at £45 an hour + VAT. Where the original only exists as a scanned PDF, we offer CAD conversion.
Winning aerospace and defence work also depends on looking credible. Buyers want a capability statement that lists machines, materials, accreditations and inspection kit, laid out clearly. They want photographs of a tidy shop floor, CMM inspection and finished parts. We photograph on location and edit images so machined surfaces show detail without blown highlights.
- Precision engineering: 3D CAD, technical drawings, capability brochures
- Steel fabricators: fabrication drawings, DXF cutting files, site photography
- Materials and tooling suppliers: product datasheets, 3D renders of components
- Retailers, care providers and trades: logos, flyers and signage
Rotherham's town centre and Parkgate also support retail and services, and those businesses mostly need a clear logo, flyers from £95 + VAT and sensible signage. All design work happens remotely from Mansfield, so drawings and proofs arrive by email. Photography and video are shot on location in Rotherham with travel quoted. Nearby: Sheffield and Barnsley.
