Manufacturing & Production

We don’t hand you over.
We take you all the way.

Most agencies design, then pass you on to a factory. We’re different. With IKONYX behind us, we design and build under one accountable structure.

Empowering Innovation: A holistic design-to-box solution for seamless product realisation

Cost isn’t an outcome of design — it’s decided by it.

80% of a product’s cost is locked in during the design stage.
If design happens in isolation, reality hits later — when it’s expensive to fix.
By keeping design and manufacturing under one roof, you know your costs and risks earlier, not later.

One contract. One point of accountability

When challenges arise we don’t deflect or delay. We take ownership, resolve issues quickly, and keep your project moving.

With one accountable structure, everyone is focused on the same outcome: delivering the best possible product. That shared objective keeps us and our clients constantly aligned, from first sketch through to full production.

ISO:13485-certified systems

This isn’t paperwork for the shelf. ISO:13485 is the backbone of how we work—tight processes, full traceability, and quality controls that leave nothing to chance. It’s what gives medical clients confidence that we can deliver safe, compliant devices, but it also means every project benefits from the same discipline.

Whether you’re launching a regulated product or a fast-moving consumer innovation, our systems give you a level of reliability and consistency that most design agencies simply can’t match.

Boots on-the-ground capability

We don’t just design—we engineer, build, and deliver. Between 3fD and IKONYX, we bring vast knowledge across multiple industries, decades of practical experience, and a full suite of tools, machines, and facilities.

From rapid prototyping to advanced production processes, we have the resources and expertise to take on complex challenges and scale manufacturing with confidence.

One team.
One outcome.

With design and manufacturing under one roof, you get one team driving towards one outcome. From the start, your product is shaped with production in mind—meaning fewer compromises, smarter decisions, and solutions that hold up when it counts.

That tight integration also gets you to market faster. No hand-offs, no rework, no “lost in translation” between agency and factory. Costs stay predictable because every design decision is grounded in tooling, materials, and production reality—so there are no nasty surprises after the drawings are done. And when it comes to securing investment, your case is stronger.

Numbers hold weight because the product behind them is manufacturable, scalable, and already proven inside a fully accountable ecosystem.

3fD works with its sister company IKONYX to provide a seamless design-to-box service.

We had no hesitation in signing up to the end-to-end solution. It has been an amazing journey so far and we have no regrets.

Given our time constraints we had to trust these guys would get us to where we needed to be. I can’t believe what a fast pace we moved at once they had the green light. Amazing!

We thought we knew the limits of what was possible in our industry; we were wrong.
