All elements of Design
Working to your project requirements in GRP Design
GRP and Carbon Fibre Design is not all about the look. It’s about practicality, technical performance, precision engineering and of course, the look!
We work with designers from a wide range of industries to tailor specification requirements around practical and robust product manufacture.
Working in GRP and Carbon Fibre materials AllScope provides a quick turn around from Design to Prototyping.
This allows a more robust product testing process, removing cost from unnecessary delays and providing absolute product confidence, before mass production.
Using the vast knowledge and experience in Glass Reinforced Plastics available from the AllScope team,
A complete and comprehensive service for GRP Design projects delivers:
3D Modelling
CAD
Design Software
Working with vast number of design formats including CAD, STEP, IGES, DWG, DXF, 3D modelling and more
GRP Prototypes
Tooling and first-off products to confirm design and method avoiding errors
Stringent GRP Testing Procedures
Structural testing, fire testing, practical and “fit for purpose” testing – with recognised approvals where required
Project Manual
We can provide a comprehensive manual and report covering all aspects of the project from design to specifications and production, with quality assurance and health and safety considerations, giving continuity and structure in manufacture of your Glass Reinforced Plastic product.
Production
Factory layout, GRP tooling requirements, GRP production methods, jigs, time & motion studies, training materials, quality control, health & safety, logistics – all under the same control, avoiding conflicts in project flow.
Project Management
Co-ordination of all the disciplines, research and design in a well-tried, structured and professional manner
GRP Design Development Ideas
Using AllScope experience for a practical and efficient solution
Financial Feasibility Studies
Cost analysis, best process/value for part, financial planning to avoid unnecessary time and price delays or re-works
Vetting
AllScope GRP manufacturing facilities are suitable for small to medium scale production, prototypes and tooling. We can vet other GRP manufacturing facilities for suitability (i.e. location, costs, systems, capacity, quality etc) avoiding costly inappropriate sourcing

Carbon fibre / kevlar hybrid cloth
As a composite material, GRP can be more commonly referred to as fibreglass.
GRP is formed using a range of strand formats including chopped strand mat, woven roving, non-woven aramid Kevlar cloth, carbon fibre Kevlar hybrid cloth and Kevlar moulded.
AllScope Projects create GRP mouldings to your requirements meaning it can be as rigid or as flexible as your design needs.
We provide GRP and Carbon Fibre solutions to a wide range of industries.
AllScope Projects Clients Include:
