Our Story
Cast Iron CAD is an engineer-led product development practice in Brighton & Hove. Over 15 years we have taken 280+ products from concept through design and engineering into manufacture. We are deliberately lean, so the engineer you talk to is the one doing the work. What we enjoy most is the early conversation where we work out, together with a client, whether an idea can become a product that is right to make. Concept, design, manufacture, one engineering team.

What Sets Us Apart
Engineer-led, concept to manufacture in one team
Cast Iron CAD is run by engineers, not account managers. The same engineer takes a product from concept and design through to manufacture, so the decisions that affect how it is made are taken early, by the person who understands them. One team, one thread, concept to production.Lean: the engineer you talk to does the work
We are deliberately small. There is no layer between you and the work, the engineer you brief is the one doing it. That keeps communication direct, decisions quick, and the engineering accountable to one person rather than passed down a chain.280+ products engineered over 15 years
Over 15 years Cast Iron CAD has taken 280+ products from idea to manufacture, across consumer goods, medical devices, electronics and industrial products. That range means most problems we meet are ones we have solved a version of before.Locations (1)
