A locally manufactured fibre blowing machine, currently on the test bench as we build and prove out the design.
Building or refurbishing a machine like this runs through the same pipeline RTech applies to any part — just at a larger scale.
Where parts already exist, we scan them first to get an accurate digital reference before any redesign work begins.
Scan data is rebuilt into proper CAD, with corrections and improvements made where the original design needs them.
Components are produced in aluminium and stainless steel, machined or laser cut to the tolerances the assembly needs — with 3D printed parts where appropriate.
Parts come together on the shop floor, get tested, and go back for adjustment until the machine runs the way it's meant to.
Two decisions shape this build, both aimed at keeping the machine easy to live with once it's running.
The machine is built from independent modules. If one section needs attention, we repair or replace that module on its own — not the whole machine. What would normally cost days of downtime is handled in hours.
Every part is sourced and produced locally. There's no shipping delay, no customs wait, and no dependency on overseas suppliers for something as simple as a spare part.
