  • Dyed acrylics. These all started life as clear 1mm acrylic. 
These are our test pieces to get the correct timings and colour mix ratios. We dyed a number of 1mm wall thickness components that we had CNC machined and polished in-house here at Synapse. All with no distortion fitting other CNC’d aluminium components.

  • This is the beginning of the second part we made for the Sagentia  ventilator. We were responsible for this tricky but simple turning in acrylic. 6mm outer diameter with a 0.5mm wall thickness. Depth of bore was nearly 60mm.  Part length was nearly 70mm. The part was machined from a second side with a different sized bore. 
Quantity 20 off

But we took a call last weekend from Sagentia who we already had a working relationship with asking if we could support them with producing some parts for their ventilator. We were pleased and honoured to be involved. We were just 1 supplier of many working towards the same goal with a tight deadline. We were responsible for 20 off of the pixelated image. Machined from 3 sides

We also reverse engineered the carbon fibre faceplate you see here replacing the standard plastic part. The carbon fibre faceplate was machined, finished and sprayed in house. The whole unit was done in-house. .

This part is the presentation stand for the McLaren electric drive motor which we completed September 2018. This is machined from Ureol model board. Straight off the machine and sprayed silver. Flaked and it’s had 1 coat of 2K lacquer. The flake is large and sprayed out of a flake gun. Another 4 or 5 coats of lacquer and it should be good.  We’re always up for a challenge.
