Sectors We Work In
Extending capability across industries
We work with engineers, designers and manufacturers across a wide range of sectors. Many of our customers have in-house workshops or model shops. They come to us when their own capacity or equipment reaches its limit – for larger builds, complex geometries, or production-ready parts that demand a higher level of finish or functionality.
At Prototype Projects, we extend your capability. Whether you need a functional prototype, pilot production run or fully assembled component, we deliver high-quality parts, on time, with the support and insight you need to move forward with confidence.
Medical & Life Sciences
We’re trusted by R&D and product development teams working in biotech, diagnostics and medical devices.
We deliver functional prototypes and production-quality components for early-stage testing, clinical validation and pilot manufacture.
Key capabilities: SLA 750 for large-scale components, CNC machining, and UK tooling for clinical-grade injection moulding.
Aerospace & Defence
For applications where strength-to-weight ratio, accuracy and confidentiality are critical, we provide dependable manufacturing support.
We produce high-performance parts and assemblies for functional testing, fit checks and small-scale production, with the security of UK-based manufacturing and ISO accreditation.
Key capabilities: Large-format SLA, CNC machining, and UK tooling for rapid, repeatable part production.
Automation & Industrial Engineering
We support automation and engineering teams developing machinery, jigs, fixtures and housings.
Our fast-turnaround services help engineers test, refine and build reliable systems without slowing down development.
Key capabilities: CNC machining, SLS for robust functional parts, and short-run injection moulding for production-ready components.
Consumer Products
We work with industrial designers and product development teams to bring ideas to life, from visual prototypes through to small-batch production.
Our focus is on accuracy, finish and repeatability – helping brands prepare products for market with confidence.
Key capabilities: SLA for fine detail, vacuum casting for production-quality finishes, and injection moulding for pre-production and pilot runs.
Electronics & Enclosures
We produce durable housings and enclosure components for electronic systems, control units and instruments. Our SLA, CNC and injection moulding services deliver the fit, strength and finish needed for functional testing and small-batch manufacture.
Key capabilities: SLA for accuracy and surface finish, CNC machining for functional housings, and injection moulding for low-volume production.
Mechanical Engineering
From one-off prototypes to production-ready components, we support mechanical engineers with dependable, high-quality parts. Our CNC machining and 3D printing services deliver precision and repeatability across metals and plastics.
Key capabilities: CNC machining for metal and plastic parts, SLS for robust functional prototypes, and injection moulding for pre-production runs.
Model Making & Scaled Displays
Our in-house model makers create detailed concept models, scaled exhibits and visual prototypes. We combine 3D printing, CNC and vacuum casting to achieve accurate detail, smooth finishes and reliable presentation quality.
Key capabilities: SLA for fine detail, CNC machining for structure and form, and vacuum casting for presentation-quality finishes.
Ready to get started?
Our integrated service covers tool design, tool manufacture, 3D printing, CNC machining, vacuum casting and injection moulding – all under one roof in the UK. That means faster lead times, consistent quality, and full control from the first concept to the final component.
If you’re developing a new product, scaling an existing design, or need support to extend your in-house capability, we’re ready to help.
