What AISIS LIMITED does

AISIS LIMITED (trading as AiSiS) is a privately-held product design and engineering consultancy founded in 2000 and headquartered in Bristol, UK. The company operates from a single registered office (Imperial Walk, Upper Knowle, Bristol, BS14 9AD) with a small team of 1-10 employees, and operates as a private limited company registered in England and Wales (company number 3919427). AiSiS provides four integrated service lines across the product development lifecycle: Computer Aided Design (CAD) including 3D part/assembly design, surfacing, detailing, rendering, and data translations across IGES, STEP, and Parasolid formats; Computer Aided Engineering/Finite Element Analysis (CAE/FEA) covering linear statics, linear dynamics, modal analysis, frequency response, and non-linear analysis; Engineering Design services spanning materials selection and manufacturing processes (castings, extrusions, CNC, plastics/injection moulding, elastomers, sheet metal, gears, springs, hydraulics, pneumatics, precision engineering); and Product Design services from concept through prototyping and manufacturing tooling.

The company's business model is professional services with bespoke, flexible engagement models. Clients can engage AiSiS for individual services, grouped services, or full turnkey projects from concept to manufacturing. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; initial consultations are free. AiSiS targets three horizontal customer segments: entrepreneurs seeking concept-to-market support, SMEs (the primary segment) seeking component optimisation and manufacturing yield improvements, and multi-national corporations seeking turnkey project solutions and specialist consultancy. The company is sales-led, communicating through its website (aisis.co.uk), email, and telephone, with no apparent social media, content marketing, or paid acquisition channels. The firm shows no external funding, no partnerships, no patents, and no public awards.

Core offering

AiSiS is a Bristol-based product design consultancy offering four complementary service streams across the product lifecycle: Product Design (concept through to production prototypes and tooling), Engineering Design (materials, manufacturing processes, mechanical and electromechanical components), Engineering Analysis / FEA (structural, thermal, modal, frequency response and non-linear simulations), and CAD Services (2D/3D modelling, surfacing, drafting, rendering and CAD data translations in IGES, STEP and Parasolid formats). Services are sold individually, in groups or as a complete turnkey engagement from concept through to manufacturing.

Product overview

AISIS LIMITED is a Product Design Consultancy offering complementary services across the product development lifecycle. Their core offerings consist of four integrated service areas: (1) Computer Aided Design (CAD) Services for 2D and 3D part and assembly design, surfacing, drafting, rendering, and data translations; (2) Computer Aided Engineering (CAE)/Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Services for structural, thermal, and dynamic analysis using a pragmatic approach integrated early in the design process; (3) Engineering Design Services covering materials selection, manufacturing processes, and mechanical/electromechanical component design; and (4) Product Design Services encompassing concept design through to production prototypes and tooling. These services can be used individually or as a complete 'one stop solution' from concept to manufacturing.
