Accelerate your competitive advantage by leveraging our unique combination of expertise in AM design and heat transfer engineering. Using first principle calculations, our expert team take a clean sheet approach to the problem space and truly exceed the limits of historical heat exchange design rules.
Specialising in heat exchangers designed from first principles, our competitive mindset means we are constantly pushing the technological boundaries of AM in our search for superior performance. We have the perfect blend of skills, experience and knowledge for rapid ideation and concept creation. Harnessing agile methodologies, our hand-picked team, led by senior design engineers consistently and successfully deliver solutions from ideation through to physical parts.
We reach innovative solutions by focusing on specialist application development.
DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing) forms a critical part of our development cycle. Our team’s combined experience provides our customers with high value adding capabilities.

With more than 20 years’ experience in designing thermal management systems across a range of high performance industries, we work with our customers to develop the best possible solution with minimal compromises. Our team possess high systems-level knowledge of thermal management and cooling systems across multiple platforms. This enables us to look at the problem space holistically, proposing both swap-in-swap-out solutions and identifying opportunities for part consolidation.
Multiphysics simulation and analysis are critical to our engineering workflow. Our calculations engineers perform CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation to initially predict performance and inform our designs. We also engage in early stage FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to investigate structural implications and evaluate whether our designs are durable enough to withstand the end use or test environment.
We perform CFD not only to predict performance characteristics such as heat rejection and pressure drop, but to gain detailed insights into the specific regions of geometry that provide the highest heat transfer with the lowest impact on flow. Correlation of the simulated performance with physical test results is essential for validating our simulation models and we always recommend performing this step for our customers.
Once correlation has been performed, our engineers then have a more accurate model that can be used to rapidly refine and optimise designs through additional iterations.
