Bespoke Aluminium Spray Cans for Fanakapan
To accurately reproduce the original can, the sample provided by the artist was sent away for 3D scanning. We then used the resulting 3D model to generate the necessary CNC toolpaths, allowing us to machine the complex form using our rotary axis.
Once the first prototype was completed, it was sent to Fanakapan for approval and the final green light to proceed with the remaining four cans.
After machining, all five cans were sent to one of our approved finishing suppliers, where they were mirror polished to achieve the highly reflective finish specified for the project.
The result was a unique set of oversized, precision-machined aluminium spray cans, combining advanced CNC machining with specialist finishing to bring the artist’s vision to life.
Slip Ring Mount for Acadia Spectacular
Pangea was a new stage installation created for Glastonbury Festival by Acadia Spectacular, centred around a historic crane rescued from the Avonmouth Docks in Bristol and transported approximately 30 miles to Worthy Farm.
We were commissioned by Acadia Spectacular to design and manufacture a bespoke mounting system for a fibre optic slip ring, which was required to transfer data and power for the lighting and pyrotechnic systems through the rotating joint at the top of the crane tower.
Working with a piece of the existing crane structure and the requirements of the rotating assembly, we designed a robust and precise mounting solution to securely locate the slip ring while allowing the necessary rotation and cable movement.
The completed assembly formed a critical part of the Pangea stage infrastructure, enabling the lighting and pyrotechnic systems to operate seamlessly through the crane’s rotating joint.
Reverse Engineering & Tool Reproduction
One of our customers approached us to reverse engineer a specialist tool they had been using for many years but no longer had any of the original drawings or design documentation for.
We carefully measured each component using our CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) to accurately capture the dimensions and geometry of the original tool.
Using the resulting measurement data, we recreated the components, machined and assembled the complete tool, and verified the finished assembly against the original.
As part of the project, we also provided the customer with a complete set of engineering drawings and 3D CAD models, giving them a fully documented digital version of the tool for future manufacture and development.
