When Difficult Technical Projects need more than a Standard Supplier

Engineering-led manufacturing for teams who need technical partnership, not just capacity.

RMDE delivers specialist tooling, Rohacell machining, fixtures, prototypes and 5-axis CNC manufacturing for engineering teams who need difficult work understood, controlled and delivered properly.

For projects involving tight deadlines, difficult geometry, demanding materials or high-consequence delivery, RMDE brings the engineering judgement, manufacturing capability and communication needed to reduce risk and keep work moving.

Not Just a Supplier. A Manufacturing Partner You Can Count On.

Complex geometries. Advanced materials. Compressed timescales. We thrive where others hesitate. Our team brings the technical depth, process discipline, and programme awareness needed to keep your project moving and deliver right first time, on time, every time.

The Engineering Partner Behind the Programme.

Precision Tooling. Complex Geometry. Delivered.

For over 15 years, RM Design & Engineering has delivered specialist tooling, precision-machined components, and hands-on engineering support for programmes where failure isn't an option.

We don't wait for a drawing and quote blind. We interrogate the requirement, challenge assumptions where needed, and engineer solutions that account for thermal behaviour, material movement, process constraints, and production reality.

From 3 metre composite lay-up tools holding tight profile tolerances, to Rohacell cores machined for composite parts, to full fixture suites delivered within agreed time scales. We operate where technical depth and manufacturing capability intersect.

Our focus is always the same:
Understand the application. Engineer it properly. Deliver it right first time.

Quality is King. Delivery Rules.

We Solve Problems Other Suppliers Won't Touch

Technical Depth, Not Just Capacity

Our customers don't come to us for simple prismatic machining. They come when the geometry is complex, the tolerances are tight, the material is difficult, or the programme is under pressure.

We operate as an extension of your engineering team, contributing to DFM reviews, advising on tooling strategy, flagging manufacturability risks before they become programme delays.

Whether it's complex tooling for carbon composites requiring time critical deadlines, or a thermoformed component requiring temperature controlled tooling. We bring the technical judgement that turns a requirement into a delivered solution.

This isn't subcontracting. It's engineering partnership.

Quality is King. Delivery Rules.

Proven Across Demanding Sectors

RM started as a design consultancy. Customers kept asking us to build what we'd designed, because we understood the intent behind the geometry.

Today our capabilities span:

Composite Tooling, Direct Moulds, Patterns, Trim Fixtures

Vaccum Forming Tooling, Prototype, Production Tooling

Models & Styling Bucks, CNC-machined

Rohacell & Specialist Foam Machining

Buoyancy Modules

Assembly Fixtures, Holding Fixtures & Jigs

CAD Design & Reverse Engineering

5-Axis CNC Machining, up to 3.6m x 2.6m x 0.9m

We've delivered Directly & Indirectly for Tier 1 OEM, F1 teams, Aerospace, MOD, Hollywood studios, Design Studio's and offshore energy projects. That breadth means we've seen, and solved problems most shops never encounter.

It's Not Just the Machining. It's Everything Around It.

Why Customers Stay

Plenty of shops own 5-axis machines. Few know what to do when the geometry doesn't post-process cleanly, the material behaves unexpectedly, or the customer changes scope mid-programme.

Our customers stay because we provide:

Technical Expertise: we advise the best cost effective outcome.

Proactive Communication: you'll never need to chase us.

Programme Awareness: we understand what's downstream of our delivery.

Manufacturing Intelligence: Design with ease of manufacturing in mind input that saves time and money.

Consistent On-Time Delivery: because your programme depends on it.

Honest Assessment: if something won't work, we'll tell you before it fails.

We treat every project with the due care and attention from start to finish.

Quality is King. Delivery Rules.

Experience

Experience Across Industries

Founded in 2012 by Radj Many, RM Design & Engineering has grown from a specialist design consultancy into a trusted engineering and manufacturing partner serving a diverse range of industries.

Today, our work spans:

Film & Entertainment

From precision tooling for global manufacturing programmes to specialist props used in Hollywood productions, every project has contributed to the experience, adaptability, and problem-solving mindset that define our business today.

Why RM Design & Engineering?

Because when the geometry is complex, you need a team that's done it before.

Because when the deadline is fixed, you need a supplier who delivers, not one who makes excuses.

Because when the stakes are high, you need engineering judgement, not just machine time.

We've spent 15 years earning the trust of customers who can't afford to get it wrong.

Whether you need a single prototype fixture or a full production tooling package, we approach every project with the same discipline, technical rigour, and commitment to getting it right.
