BEN MAY

FOUNDER & DIRECTOR

For the last 25 years Ben has been taking risk out of product design development. He has guided design teams in the use of prototyping and production strategies and technologies to achieve faster and more efficient design iteration resulting both in optimal solutions to user need and lower development costs for clients.

In his roles both as Production Director at IDC and Head of the Development Centre at PDD, he has been instrumental in achieving ISO 9001 and 13485 accreditation and embedding a culture that recognises that a quality process results in a quality product.

Ben has supported design development in a vast range of markets including the medical, aerospace, automotive, commercial and industrial sectors, giving Ben an unparalleled knowledge of how rapid prototyping and manufacturing technologies can be applied to make virtually anything.
