PRECISION UNDER
CONSTRAINT.

In demanding programmes, a part is only as useful as its documentation, fit and intended operating envelope. AMLAB explores non-weapon, non-critical prototypes and manufacturing aids, from protective electronics mock-ups to assembly fixtures, with explicit discussion of environmental constraints and verification.

TURN COMPLEXITY
INTO A WORKABLE PART.

For hardware teams, industrial integrators, electronics engineers and suppliers of dual-use equipment.

We begin with the functional requirement and choose a design and manufacturing route only after understanding what must be proven.

APPLICATION NOTE

WHERE WE CAN
ADD VALUE.

Application examples to start a technical conversation — not a portfolio of completed contracts.

01 / 04

Electronics development enclosures

Design mock-ups for rugged boxes, connector interfaces, cable clearances and service access, before environmental and electromagnetic evaluation.

02 / 04

Assembly & integration fixtures

Positioning tools, protective interfaces and repeatable assembly aids for integration work on the bench or shop floor.

03 / 04

Ground-test equipment

Non-flight, non-weapon development holders, laboratory brackets and instrumentation mounts designed for specific test setups.

04 / 04

Maintenance & logistics tooling

Protective covers, identification aids, dedicated storage inserts and replacement tooling where permitted and appropriate.

THE DETAILS
CHANGE
EVERYTHING.

These are the questions we bring to the table before recommending a process.

Discuss a project ↗
01

Operating conditions

Temperature, vibration, fluids, mechanical shocks and electrostatic requirements are specified, not assumed.

02

Interfaces & tolerances

Connector envelope, mating features, clearances, fastening and inspection points.

03

Configuration control

Revision IDs, approved drawings, material batches and any customer-required inspection records.

04

Regulatory scope

Applicable export controls, information security, end use and qualification are evaluated before accepting work.

NOT EVERY PART
NEEDS THE SAME PROCESS.

Processes below are starting options, not promises of in-house machine availability.

PROCESS / 01

FDM / FFF

Fast integration models and industrial fixtures, subject to material review.

PROCESS / 02

SLS

Potential for complex polymer housings and repeatable geometry.

PROCESS / 03

CNC

Machined interfaces and fixtures requiring specific material behaviour.

IMAGINE THE BRIEF

FROM THE QUESTION
TO THE FIRST PROTOTYPE.

An integration team needs to check access to a connector panel. Starting from interface drawings, we develop a dimensional enclosure mock-up, check service clearance with the assembly team and revise the geometry before any separate qualification or production decision.

  2. 02DevelopCAD, process route, design review
  3. 03EvaluatePrototype, test inputs, iteration
  4. 04DecideNext iteration or manufacturing path

↗ No claim of military certification, approval for safety-critical systems or defence customers is implied. Work is subject to end-use and regulatory review.

BEFORE WE
GET STARTED.

01Do you supply qualified military parts?

No blanket claim is made. Each project needs a defined end use, evidence, approvals and a suitable qualified supply chain where required.

02Can you handle sensitive drawings?

Share only non-sensitive information initially. Security, data handling, export requirements and confidentiality arrangements must be agreed before restricted files are transferred.

03Where do additive technologies help most?

Early integration, fit checks, lightweight non-critical fixtures and low-volume manufacturing aids, provided the performance envelope is suitable.
