About
Hi, I'm Gareth,
I offer CAD design, CNC prototyping, and hands-on engineering for hobbyists and businesses alike. Think of me as the friendly engineer you can actually talk to: someone who'll help refine your idea, design it properly, and machine it on my 4-axis CNC mill.
My background is unconventional; nine years in film and TV, designing award-winning camera stabiliser systems used on Stranger Things, Gladiator II, and Wonka. I bring that same precision and real-world thinking to every project.
Most prototyping services are either impersonal or geared toward big production runs. I bridge that gap.
Based in Maidstone. Also a glider pilot, which probably explains the attention to detail.
Got an idea? Let's talk.
