We exist to manufacture large-scale, high-quality, metal component parts rapidly

Who we are

DEEP Manufacturing operates 20 Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) systems at our Advanced Manufacturing Centre of Excellence in Avonmouth, Bristol - one of the world's largest concentrations of this technology.

What we do

What we do

Through a significant investment in technology, people, and processes, we’re able to produce large-scale metal component parts at unprecedented speed. Our manufacturing operations and outputs are independently verified, and our approach delivers lower life-of-project costs compared to traditional manufacturing processes.

Our Journey

It all started when DEEP, the ocean engineering company, set out to build subsea human habitats. It found traditional manufacturing processes fell short on total cost, lead times, and material waste.

DEEP Manufacturing was launched to initially produce underwater pressure vessels for human occupancy. Now we offer our capacity and capability in large metal part production to other customers in any industry, anywhere in the world.

Our journey

Capabilities

Combining cutting-edge technology and specialised expertise, we produce large-scale metal components additively, delivering superior quality at industry-leading.
