——  DESIGN · MACHINING · FABRICATION

Good ideas.
Built properly.

LUMA is a bespoke industrial manufacturing workshop. Bring us the sketch, the sample or the problem and we will help define what needs to be made, then machine and fabricate it in-house.

We turn useful ideas into finished objects — designed, machined and fabricated under one roof.

LUMA brings design consultation, precision machining and custom fabrication together in one workshop. Businesses come to us for components and assemblies, tradespeople hire our equipment, and makers join us on build nights.

(02) — WHAT WE DO

One workshop, four ways to bring an idea to life.

01 / CONSULT

Design Consultation

Bring us the sketch, the sample or the problem. We help define what needs to be made, the materials and the finish, and quote before we make it.

02 / MAKE

Machining & Fabrication

Machined components, metal furniture, equipment enclosures and one-off assemblies, made in-house to the brief and finished the way it was specified.

03 / HIRE

Tool & Equipment Hire

Browse professional equipment and request hire for the period you need. Availability and hire terms are confirmed before anything leaves the workshop.

04 / LEARN

Build Nights

Spend an evening making something with your hands. Learn a practical skill and work through a project with guidance from the team.

(03) — RECENT WORK

Work that earns its keep.

BESPOKE / COMPONENTS

Precision components — machined around the requirements of the job.

A run of one-off machined parts for a small equipment maker. Brief, material and finish agreed up front, then made and checked in-house before delivery.

SCOPE

Design, CNC machining

OUTCOME

Fitted first time

BESPOKE / ENCLOSURE

Custom enclosure — a considered housing for an equipment assembly.

Folded and welded steel with a powder-coat finish, built to house a client’s control equipment and sized to the space it had to fit.

SCOPE

Fabrication, finishing

OUTCOME

Installed on site

BESPOKE / FURNITURE

Workshop workbench — a practical platform for the work ahead.

A heavy-duty steel bench made to a customer’s drawing, with a replaceable top and storage sized to their tools. It is now a standard product you can order.

SCOPE

Design, fabrication

OUTCOME

We brought a sketch and a problem. LUMA helped us define the part, agreed the material and finish, then machined it exactly as quoted.

The enclosure fitted first time and the finish was better than the drawing suggested. Straightforward to deal with from brief to delivery.

James Thornton
ENGINEER  ·  FORMA LABS

Hiring the magnetic drill for a week saved us buying one. Booked online, ready when we arrived, and someone walked us through it.

SITE MANAGER  ·  AEGIS RAIL

Build night was the best evening I have spent in a workshop. I left with a lamp I made myself and a skill I will use again.

Marcus Chen
BUILD NIGHT REGULAR

Straight answers on materials and lead times. They tell you what will work before you spend anything, and then they make it.

Anya Petrov
FOUNDER  ·  MERIDIAN

We ordered the workbench from the shop and it has been the centre of our workshop ever since. Heavy, square and built to last.
