We want to introduce our team members and let them share what it’s like to work at Freeform Technology. In this interview, Carl Maynard, Pattern Finisher at Freeform Technology, discusses his 6 …

One of the largest industries leveraging wholesale application of composites is aerospace and aviation. The benefits that composites bring to aerospace manufacture are many. Composites hold the key to a plethora of extraordinary properties and benefits. Light in weight, yet having exceptional strength, high density to stiffness ratios, higher resistance to corrosion, production of complex shapes, the list goes on. …

It’s amazing how time passes without you realising. Freeform Technology has just celebrated its 14th anniversary and it made the whole team reflect on how far the company has come.  Freeform Technology started out in 2008 with one machine and two founders, Fred and Simon! They both carried out multiple roles within the business from blocking up, programming and machining, …

Our continued investment in leading edge machine shop equipment results in our capability of hosting a wide variety of thoroughbred machinery, tooling, technology, and operating software. Our intention is to remain at the very front of the technology evolution, which also sometimes means embracing the revolution! It’s a central pillar of innovative investment upon which we manifest our goal towards …

By default, high performance composite fabrication of components have a mandated requirement to have design efficacy and machined to precise specifications, combined with close tolerances. The expertise needed necessitates the engagement of a premium composite tooling design manufacturer. Like us, here at Freeform Technology.   We hold a wealth of knowledge in leading edge production methods. A pedigree which we employ …

We are always looking at ways to improve our portfolio of workshop machines! Recently, a backlog of work within the metallic department has created a need for further investment in new machinery. After researching the usual suspects and a couple of unusual ones, we decided that a Hermle C400 machine would be a good fit at Freeform Technology, for our …

Ask anyone what they envisage by the word prototype and they will generally respond with different interpretations. Many will state that a prototype is the first and early creation of a physical example or version, whilst others will say it’s way before that, holding a view that its birth starts as a pure visionary concept. Philosophically it’s the similar question …

Here at Freeform Technology, we have a wealth of experience in pattern and mould creation and manufacture. We can work from drawings, CAD designs, 3D modelling, various other imported file types, and in rarer examples, even from a purely conceptual approach, where our team work closely with customers to interpret. This is where we capture our customer’s visualisation and convert …

The market appetite for composite component creation and design is growing exponentially and with good reason. To understand more, let’s take a closer look at the Why, Who, and How of what’s driving and delivering to this demand.  Why?   As recognition grows towards fully understanding the benefits of composite components, so does demand. The ability to manufacture a composite component …

Computer Aided Design (CAD) models allow the digitalisation of design prior to any consumption or utilisation of physical resource. It’s where the digital world precedes the material world and leverages the ability to make changes and additions, way before any production happens. Therefore, CAD models represent the most cost-effective method of designing component parts. CAD Modelling facilitates the capabilities around …
