prototype manufacturing
At Arc Studio, we are dedicated to rapid, ethical product development for impactful sectors.
Trading from the Advanced Research Centre in Glasgow as a private, limited company, we support innovators, researchers, and clinicians in transforming world-changing ideas into reality. For this, we were given the Startup of the Year award for 2024 by the University of Glasgow.
Our focus is on innovative design, faster turnarounds, and total quality control using our in-house manufacturing equipment.

About Arc Studio Ltd
Arc Studio Ltd is driven by a passion for innovation and a commitment to excellence. Founded by an MEng-qualified engineer with a robust background in electronics, software, and mechanical design, we pride ourselves on our ability to deliver bespoke solutions for a diverse range of projects.
Our founder's experience in medical device R&D is a cornerstone of our approach, enabling us to guide clients through the often complex process of taking ideas from early-stage concepts to fully realised prototypes.
We understand that product development is not just about technology; it's about people and the impact those technologies have on their lives. That's why we focus on building collaborative relationships with our clients, ensuring that their vision is at the forefront of every project.
Our Past Projects
At Arc Studio, we are proud of our track record. Although we've completed over 30 projects, we can only showcase a number of them.
They're novel and commercially sensitive and therefore can't be shared until they're on the market.
Who We've Worked With
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of projects does ARC Studio Ltd typically work on?
We specialise in early-stage product development for sectors that make a difference — including medicine, veterinary science, agriculture, forestry and life sciences.
Whether you're a researcher, start-up founder or innovation lead, we help you move from idea to fully functional prototype.
From housings for heart rate monitors to novel large animal veterinary devices, we support & lead projects that have real world impact and technical complexity.
How quickly can ARC Studio produce a working prototype?
Depending on the scope and complexity, we can often deliver a first working prototype within just a few days to a couple of weeks.
Because all of our design, engineering and fabrication is done in-house — including 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC machining and electronics — we cut out delays and reduce reliance on third-party suppliers.
Rapid iteration is central to our process, and we work closely with you to test and refine designs fast.
Does ARC Studio retain any intellectual property from client projects?
No — unless otherwise agreed, all intellectual property belongs to the client once project fees are settled. We believe in transparency and trust, especially when developing innovative new products.
From the earliest CAD files to final prototypes, you own your design. We're here to help you develop it, not to claim it.
Can ARC Studio help prepare my prototype for manufacturing or investor pitches?
Yes — we regularly help clients prepare high-fidelity, investor-ready prototypes that reflect how the final product may look, feel, and function.
We also offer photorealistic renders, animations, and diagrams to support fundraising, pitch decks, grant applications and stakeholder engagement.
