Unimatic Engineers has started 2007 with a new business plan and a new address, albeit just next door.
Unimatic Engineers has started 2007 with a new business plan and a new address, albeit just next door.
"We have sold our automation and control division to Micromech of Braintree to fund an ambitious programme of development of high precision machinery and software for prototyping and micro-drives for precision micro-technology applications", says Unimatic's Managing Director Martin Stevens.
"This is where we see the major market growth and this is where we see our future too".
The company will now focus on products, which revolve around the creation and use of CAD/CAM files.
As well as some basic software offerings, Unimatic's customers can create files (reverse engineering) through state of the art laser scanning, and can use STL files to print 3D models (rapid prototyping, rapid modelling and rapid manufacturing), or cut 2D and 3D models with laser cutting/engraving machines and a wide range of 3-5 axis CNC machines.
Unimatic's product range enables UK designers and manufacturers to speed up the modelling and prototyping processes, as well as use the benefits of CNC for flexible short-run manufacture.
At a time when competition from the Far East has never been greater, it gives UK manufacturers the ability to match its design and innovation capability with cutting edge equipment which will give them a competitive edge.
Unimatic now comprises two divisions - the Machines Division and the Microtechnology Division.
The Machines Division offers a range of CNC machines, laser cutting/engraving equipment, rapid prototyping machines, laser scanning systems and CAD/CAM software.
This combination of products enables UK designers and manufacturers to get their products quickly to market, and manufacture short runs flexibly.
Unimatic sells these products to many markets in the industrial arena and also to the education market.
Target markets include medical, dentistry, jewellery and automotive.
In education, Unimatic is a major supplier to secondary schools of equipment for the Design and Technology curriculum, as well as to various departments in colleges and universities.
The Microtechnology Division encompasses piezo-motors, actuators and piezo-motor driven systems.
The company leads the field in providing motorised solutions to companies working in the growing fields of micro- and nano-technology, offering a number of solutions based around the application of the piezo-electric effect to generate high-accuracy movements in fields such as micro-electronics and medical devices.
The move of premises reflects the changing requirements of the company - but it is only from one building into the building next door.
It was in 130 and now is in 124 Granville Road.
As a result, the address (Unimatic House, Granville Road, London NW2 2LN) all stays the same.
