System Integration and Automation

We bridge the gap between engineering disciplines, delivering fully joined-up systems without the need to manage multiple suppliers.

  • Development of specialised testing equipment​

  • Custom automation systems for production processes

  • Seamless cross-discipline integration (electronics, software and mechanical)

Engineered Solutions
From Concept to Completion

We build functional engineering systems from the ground up. From concept sketches to finished working prototypes, we care about detail and deliver to spec. We believe in long-term partnerships, honest collaboration, and investing in engineering talent. Everything we build is designed to perform under real-world conditions.

Why ProtoGT?

We’re small, and that works in your favour

Being independent means we’re flexible, focused and easy to work with. No middle layers. No bloated process. Just proper engineering.

Built with care, made to last

We build custom prototypes that are engineered for long-term performance. Every part is stress-tested, every design reviewed, and every system validated before delivery.

Quick replies. Clear answers. Actual progress.

You’ll always speak to the people doing the work. We keep comms tight and projects moving.

The whole process, kept simple

From early-stage concept to final system install, we keep engineering practical and communication clear. No fluff. No waste.

● Now available

On demand 3D printing, made in Sheffield

Send us your file, and we will print it in-house using FDM or SLA, then finish it properly and ship it tracked within the UK. If you are not sure what process or material to pick, tell us what the part needs to do, and we will recommend an approach.

  • Post-processing included as standard

  • FDM and SLA available

  • Engineer inspection before dispatch

  • Tracked UK delivery

  • Confidential by default
