About SkillsProto — Rapid Prototyping for UK & European Product Teams

SkillsProto is the export brand of Shenzhen Skills Proto Co., Ltd. — a Shenzhen-based precision manufacturing partner serving product engineers in the UK and Europe. We combine the speed and cost base of Chinese manufacturing with the English-language service, DFM discipline and quality discipline that product teams in London, Birmingham, Munich, Stuttgart and beyond expect from their suppliers.

We focus on the early-stage product lifecycle — prototype, low-volume production, and the transition to higher volumes — across seven manufacturing capabilities: CNC machining, injection moulding, sheet metal fabrication, FRP composites, 3D printing (SLA / SLS / MJF), vacuum casting and die casting.

Who we serve

  • UK and European product teams in automotive, motorsport, aerospace, medical, electronics, industrial automation and consumer goods.
  • Design consultancies and R&D teams that need a reliable prototype-to-production partner.
  • Buyers and engineers who want a single project manager for multi-process assemblies.

Why SkillsProto

  • English-speaking project management — every project has a named project manager who owns the quote, schedule, QA and shipping.
  • DFM feedback on every quote — we flag manufacturability issues before cutting metal.
  • Multi-process capability — one supplier for assemblies that mix CNC, sheet metal, moulded and composite parts.
  • ISO 9001 quality with FAI on every new tool or first production run.
  • NDA-friendly — we sign your NDA before receiving CAD.
  • DDP shipping — customs clearance and duty to your UK or EU address, included in the quote.

How we work

  1. Send your CAD and brief — STEP, IGES or SolidWorks + quantity + lead time.
  2. Receive a fixed quote with DFM notes within 24 hours on working days.
  3. Approve and produce — we confirm materials, finishing and lead time, then start production.
  4. Quality gate at every milestone — in-process inspection, FAI, photos, dimensional reports.
  5. Ship DDP to your UK / EU address — customs, duty and last-mile delivery included.
