4DX Projects — Concept to finished product

We bring projects to life.

From the first sketch to the finished part.

Built for motorsport, art & film.

Prototype to production, under one roof.

A single engineering partner for the whole job — design, prototype, and production. CNC machining, fabrication, electronics, and hydraulics, held to tolerance and built for environments that don't forgive failure.

Selected productions our founders have worked on in film & TV special effects — across multiple Oscar, BAFTA and BIFA award-winning SFX teams.

What we do

We design and produce technical parts and systems — taking a concept, a sketch, or a worn original all the way to a finished, tested product.

Bring your project to life.

Send a drawing, a CAD file, a photo of a broken part, or just a description. We'll come back with feasibility, an approach, and a quote.

Tight deadline or early-stage idea? Both are a good time to talk.
