Knaresborough based GSPK Design continues to reduce development times by introducing in-house 3D Cad Modelling and conceptual design to their service portfolio.

With the introduction of an industrial designer it has now helped reduce product development times through 3D modelling and visualisation helping get products to market quicker. Minimising design iterations and reducing the risk of potential errors on tolerances, but most of all giving the end client a better visual representation of what they are going to get, ensuring GSPK Design continue to exceed their clients expectations.

Already leaders in electronic hardware, firmware design and manufacture for instrumentation and control applications, GSPK Design can now boast a full service, in-house product design and manufacturing consultancy; encompassing bespoke hardware, firmware, software and manufacture of electronics for instrumentation and control applications. With the new addition to the team, now the aesthetics and conceptual design around bespoke housing / enclosure development is covered.

Tim Chamberlin a third year product design degree student has joined GSPK Design on a years placement and is already making his mark through adding value to the service delivery process.

Over the last 10 years GSPK Designs expertise has been in supplying reliable robust electronic instrumentation and control solutions, and now in addition, it can not only supply bespoke electronics, but can also work with their clients to offer bespoke housing design and outsourced manufacture of bespoke enclosures used in their projects.

“With the progressive shift to rapid prototyping and lower cost tooling options, going bespoke on housings design doesn’t necessary need restrictive budgets.” Quotes Jim Needham, technical manager.

GSPK Designs MD Paul Marsh commented “In the past we have not really offered this skill as part of our service, but as and when required we have used external suppliers, unfortunately this adds to the lead-times on development which is fundamentally contrary to what GSPK Design is all about; quick-turn development and manufacture of electronic products.”

“With Tim on board we can work more efficiently, Tim acting as a liaison with our existing partners bridging the gap in the development cycle reducing those initial iterations of design, hence saving our clients valuable pounds and more importantly time. Communications are a little easier with likeminded engineers talking engineer to engineer”
