Chris, from Specialised Motorsport Engineering (SME) in Cologne got in touch for some small tweaks to his Rear Suspension Brace that he manufactures and sells for the BMW E46 model. For us this was a 3D scanning exercise then some Reverse Engineering on CAD. A pretty quick process but nice to be involved with another local supplier of quality bespoke parts. Take a look at https://www.s-m-eng.com/ to see what they can offer you.
This part came to us from our partners in the UK, Endeavor Engineering Ltd. They needed a 3D scan and a new design of a Gear Selector Fork from a fairly new supercar. Apparently there is a common fault in these castings and they cannot be replaced individually if they fail. If the worst happens then the manufacturer will only replace the complete gearbox at the cost of a very nice family sized car. After our scanning and CAD work, which included a few subtle modifications, the guys at Endeavor CNC machined a beautiful new batch from Aluminium 7075. At least now there is an option to replace only the failed part and save a lot of money at the same time. If you're in the Oxfordshire area and need some first class CNC machining then have a look at http://www.endeavorengineering.co.uk/
We hope to be able to offer a few styling options for the Triumph Daytona 675 Motorbike in the near future. Here we are at Specialised Motorsport Engineering (SME) in Cologne a few weeks ago to take a few 3D scans of Chris's bike. The plan is to offer some Carbon Fibre fairing and trim parts in the near future. Watch this space and/or get in touch if you would like more info.
We had a day out of the office at the Professional Motorsport Expo (PMW) in Cologne to meet up with a friend and ex-colleague Joclyn Litra. Over the last few years he has been working on his own personal project and it was on show at the Expo. This is a working prototype and has already been through an intensive testing program this year. We are very pleased to be on-board with the development of this project. We will take the bodywork and styling to the next level whilst the testing program is being finalized for 2020. Head over to http://mapeex.com/ to find out more.
August started with BIG brakes for a Classic Porsche 911 and the braking theme continued into September with a lovely new project designing braking systems for Mountain Bikes. Head over to our 'Projects' page for some more information.

The new office is finally set up. All is ready to go. Hope we can work as relaxed as our office dog Pippa. Stay tuned for further updates.
