Wire industry specialist,William
Hughes, says it is transcending the
boundaries of rapid prototyping for bent
wire forms and assemblies by offering a
means of effectively checking 3D bent
wire forms and assemblies without the
lead-times and costs associated with
conventional metal fixtures.

Specially designed and made MDF
gauges can be produced in a matter
of days and, says William Hughes,
cost around a tenth of the cost of
their metal counterparts.
With extensive CADCAM capability
available at the company’s Dorset HQ,
customers requiring rapid
prototypes need only send a CAD file
of the wire product or assembly,
from which a suitable MDF jig can
be designed and machined.
