From idea to finished part — all under one roof.

We're SHC Engineering Services. We take your project from CAD concept to completed component — wood CNC machining, electrical harness design & build, 3D printing, welding & metalwork, all on state-of-the-art equipment. And if your job doesn't fit a neat box, ask anyway — we may well be able to help.

Services

What we can do for you

Four services, one friendly team. Use one on its own or let us handle the whole job end to end.

SVC / 01 — DESIGN

CAD Design

2D drafting and full 3D modelling. Production-ready drawings, assemblies and toolpath-ready files — built around your spec, not the other way round.

SVC / 02 — MACHINE

Wood CNC

Precision routing, profiling and engraving on state-of-the-art CNC machinery. One-offs, batch runs, complex 3D surfaces — clean edges every time.

SVC / 03 — WIRE

Harness Design & Construction

Electrical harnesses designed, documented and hand-built to spec — correct pinouts, proper strain relief, fully tested before they leave the bench.

SVC / 04 — PRINT

3D Printing

Rapid prototypes, jigs, fixtures and end-use parts. Fast iteration from your CAD file — or ours — with the right material for the job.

SVC / 05 — WELD

Welding & Metalwork

Fabrication, welding and general metalwork — brackets, frames, enclosures and repairs, finished cleanly and built to take real use.

SVC / 06 — & MORE

Something else in mind?

If it's engineering, there's a good chance we can help — or point you to someone who can. Drop us a line and we'll tell you straight.

About us

Where we come from

SHC Engineering Services is built on one simple idea: if it can be engineered, we can do it. Our roots are in designing parts for classic and specialist vehicles — where the component you need stopped being made decades ago, no drawings exist, and "close enough" doesn't fit. Years of solving those design problems taught us to engineer, machine, wire, print and fabricate to a standard most workshops never have to reach.

Today we bring that expertise to every kind of engineering challenge. Precision CAD design, CNC machining, electrical harness design and construction, 3D printing, welding and fabrication — all in-house, on professional equipment, by people who understand how parts behave in the real world, not just on screen. Whether you're an established business needing batch production, a designer needing a prototype by Friday, or someone with a design problem nobody else will touch, we have the skills and the kit to deliver.

And because we're a small expert team, the engineer you email is the engineer at the machine. Straight answers, honest lead times, and work we put our name on — every time.

You'll find us at High View Farm on the Lewes Road near Haywards Heath, West Sussex — serving the South East and shipping UK-wide.

Our background means we're used to:

  • Reverse-engineering parts from worn or broken originals — no drawings needed
  • One-offs and prototypes, not just production runs
  • Mixing materials and methods on a single job: wood, metal, plastics and wiring
  • Working to real-world fit, not just the CAD model
  • Solving the awkward problems other workshops turn away
Documentation

Straight from the drawing board

A taste of the documentation that comes with every job — proper drawings, proper schematics, no guesswork.

Process

How it works

A simple four-step process — and you'll always know which stage your job is at.

Consult & quote

Send us your drawings, files or just the idea. We confirm feasibility, materials and lead time — with a fixed quote.

Design & sign-off

We model, draft and document in CAD. Nothing gets cut, crimped or printed until you've approved the design.

Manufacture

CNC machining, harness build or 3D printing on calibrated, state-of-the-art equipment — checked against the drawing at every stage.

Inspect & deliver

Final inspection and functional testing, then packed and delivered with documentation to match.

Got a project in mind? We'd love to hear about it.

Drop us an email with what you're building — even a rough sketch is fine. Or better still, give us a call and talk it through with an engineer. We'll come back with feasibility, lead time and a fixed price.
