Solution Questions

Where do you add the most value?

At the point where a design meets a constraint: a diameter that will not ship, a finish that will not survive the site, a pattern that a laser cannot follow.

Do you help before there is a drawing?

Yes. We give guidance on how to do it, and we work from a concept as readily as from CAD.

Can you take an existing design and make it cheaper?

Often yes. Forming route, wall thickness, finish and segmentation all move the price.

Who handles installation?

Installation is done locally. We supply installing instructions, fittings, base tubes and loading plans.

Describe the Problem Not Just the Part

Tell us what the sphere has to do on site. The forming route follows from that.
