We've recently worked on several exciting projects where customers requested bespoke brass castings, including custom tap heads and unique handles. These projects are always a rewarding experience, allowing us to collaborate closely with our customers from concept to completion.
Above: We can work with our customers to produce 3D designs and design mock-ups prior to proceeding with manufacture. These images show potential tap head designs.
Typically, this process begins when a customer brings us an existing design, a 3D model, or just an idea. Together, we refine the concept through sketches and 3D prints before casting the final piece in brass, copper, or a chrome-plated finish.

Once a design is finalized with our customer, meeting all specifications and requirements, we produce a 3D-printed prototype. This prototype allows us to test the object's real-life scale and proportions and serves as the basis for creating the brass casting mold.

With the mold in hand, we can produce multiple castings of the design. We believe that customisation through new cast parts adds a unique character to any project. Thanks to the accessibility of 3D modelling and printing, this level of customisation is both affordable and achievable. In the end, the process not only enhances the project but also ensures that the final product is truly one-of-a-kind.
