We offer a complete range of services across the product development and manufacturing cycle. MotionTouch combines the expertise of our local team of highly trained designers and engineers with quality manufacturing services in the Far East and Eastern Europe. Our multi-lingual client service team provides support though each stage of the product development process. Our product design team includes mechanical and electronic engineers and we offer a rapid prototyping service. We can tailor a section of our services to support your specific requirements or they are available individually. Clients with a new product idea often want to get a design and prototype produced as soon as possible. A prototype can demonstrate the appearance, dimensions and features of the product. It is made in the same (or very similar) material as the finished item and can be used as a model to show to potential customers and for pre-marketing.

Step 1: A member of our client service team will deal with your initial enquiry and through talking to you, will gather all the necessary information about your project. Your enquiry will be handled according to whether it is a design, prototype, manufacturing or design to manufacture project.

Step 2: Design projects will be assigned a design engineer, who will carry out a review and ask additional questions. As part of the quoting process, the engineer may make suggestions on the best method of manufacture, cost efficiency and potential improvements to the product.Manufacturing projects are handed to the Production team, who will liaise with our partner factories to prepare the quote.

Step 3: The client service person will then discuss the quote with the design and/or production teams before forwarding it to you. The client service team are always available to answer questions you may have. As the project goes live, the Project Manager joins the team to ensure day to day smooth running and effective communication between the client service, design and production teams and the client.

You are not committed to manufacturing your product with MotionTouch, unless we have contributed to the funding of your project. We always request the opportunity to quote for the manufacturing part of your project, as MotionTouch offers a fully managed offshore production service - so our clients benefit from high quality, cost effective overseas manufacturing facilities, combined with local multi-lingual project management.

We use Solidworks. This sophisticated design package allows us to design individual components, assemble them into integrated products and carry out a variety of functions including Finite Element Analysis.

We have a network of partner factories across the Far East and Eastern Europe, which enables us to provide our clients with a high level of service, for a good price, in a short time. There are regional variations in price, technology and quality standards, so we select the most suitable factory for your specific requirement.

We are able to accept: Solidworks, IGS, DXF, DWG & Step.

Prototypes and samples are delivered to us by express courier, which takes approximately ten days. Production volumes are delivered by airfreight or sea. Approximate delivery times are as follows:

• Standard airfreight - two to three weeks on average
• Sea - up to six weeks on average from Far East (one week to port, four weeks at sea, one week at port in the UK)

The recent oil price rises have had an impact on shipping costs. However if the product can be packed well and shipped at high volume in a container, offshore production remains cost effective.
