Design engineering and manufacturing working together in Synergy!

Ultra Manufacturing Service’s Cambridge operation specialises in rapid prototype and small batch electronic assembly whilst also being part of Ultra Synergy; a group of individually successful independent design companies specialising in complementary aspects of new product development and with many years experience of bringing cost effective manufactured and innovative new products to the market swiftly.

Bringing an innovative new product to the market can be challenging and to do it swiftly can be traumatic. Achieving a design that is functionally innovative, cost effectively produced, reliable and delivered on-time can be significantly influenced by your choice of design and manufacturing partners and subsequently the calibre of communications between them in executing the project efficiently.

Ultra Synergy partners have considerable experience of working on joint projects in various combinations and have over the years provided consistently robust and innovative solutions to challenging problems.

The Ultra Synergy

Partners offer a full product development and realisation service engaging at the point of customer concept and stretching all the way through prototype assembly, low & medium volume UK production to high volume off-shore manufacturing.

Amongst ubiquitous design organisations one of the major differentiators for Ultra Synergy is the close contact with manufacturing realities by virtue of Ultra’s Cambridge based prototype and small volume assembly operation within the group.

Ultra has a broad range of experience including, Communications, Aerospace, Defence, Scientific Instrumentation, Industrial Control and Nuclear Control systems.

Rapid Prototype Assembly

PCB, Box build and Cable assembly, with full material procurement and test strategy development. Ultra Cambridge offers a smooth migration path through small, medium and large volume UK production to graduated off-shore high volume low cost manufacturing.

Test Strategy Development

Advanced production test and diagnostics systems providing maximum confidence in the shortest time and at the lowest cost.

Software Development

An essential aspect of most electronics based functionality; expertise within Synergy covers a wide range of processors, platforms, protocols, technologies and applications.

PCB Design

As Industrial and Electronic designs benefit from practical real-world inputs from part-fabrication, moulding and product assembly disciplines, so also does PCB Design benefit from knowledge of and input from PCB fabrication, PCB assembly and Electronics design. As a consequence PCB Design carried out by Ultra Synergy designers incorporate awareness of practical constraints and performance inhibitors as well as best industry practices.

Development Project Management

Manufacturing-aware technical project management of simple or complex product development projects. Co-ordinating all aspects of the project to meet design sign-off deadlines and expedite prototype and pre-production assembly to meet the customer’s requirements.
