Design services

Need an adaptor that doesn’t exist, or have an idea for a new accessory? We design and make custom parts for astronomy kit, from one-offs to small production runs.

What we can make

  • Adaptors to join kit that was never meant to fit together.
  • Brackets, mounts and holders for cameras, guide scopes and accessories.
  • Masks and covers made to measure for your telescope.
  • Prototypes of your own product ideas.

We use 3D design, 3D printing, laser cutting and CNC machining, and pick whichever suits the part best.

How it works

  1. Tell us what you need. Photos, a sketch and the key measurements are a great start. Tell us what kit it needs to fit and what it has to do.
  2. We design it and quote. We’ll draw it up in 3D, check the details with you and give you a price before any work starts.
  3. We make it. Usually a first part to test the fit, then any changes, then the finished part.

Every job is quoted individually, so there’s no obligation until you’ve agreed the design and the price.
