Drawings and photos
In order for us to model your contents, we offer a couple of solutions. If you have CAD files, we can happily accept all major 2D and 3D file types, including .dxf, .dwg .stl, and step. We can also model from drawing programs such as adobe illustrator (.ai, .eps). Alternatively, if you don’t have CAD files we can re-engineer them from high-resolution photos and pdf’s.

If you are happy to us to have your contents, please feel free to send them or bring them down to us. PRP has facilities to keep contents secure, and if they are required back urgently we can organize a convenient time where we can model them over an agreed upon time period. In some cases, we can have the contents back to you same day.
3 – The review
Following an initial consultation on the design and layout, our engineering team will send you a mock-up to review prior to manufacturer. Once happy with the final layout, we will cut the foam to your requirements and finish the case!
