In the beginning…

Everyone has a vision, however at the start of a journey the vision can often be a little hazy. RA use the concept phase to clearly define this vision prior to embarking on detailed design and development.

In the concept phase RA can quickly develop an embryonic idea into a fully formed concept combining expertise, innovation and the latest technology to work with the customer and develop anything from a simple component or solution to a complete product strategy for a new vehicle platform.

The concept phase can involve anything from design sketches and flowcharts to CAD packaging analysis, acoustic simulation and of course physical prototypes and proof of concept testing.

RA pride themselves on the ability to produce prototypes extremely quickly; from rapid manufactured fabricated, formed or printed components in a variety of materials to completely integrated vehicle systems. RA have a suite of off the shelf tools and techniques that coupled with highly experienced staff can produce phenomenally high quality prototypes in very short timescales, whether for a show or test RA can deliver concept parts from prototype tools at low cost, extremely quickly.
