Design & 3D Manufacture
Engineering Solutions for Earth's Harshest Environments
Extreme Environment Design & Manufacturing
APD Space specialises in the end-to-end design and manufacturing of equipment built to perform in the world's harshest conditions. From concept and 3D modelling through to simulation and precision manufacturing, our solutions meet stringent safety and performance standards where conventional technologies cannot operate.
Our portfolio includes the successful delivery of custom lighting systems for hot-cell environments — engineered to function in areas with extreme radiation, temperature, and containment requirements. This expertise extends to equipment designed for the most challenging operational environments.
Every solution is developed from the ground up, combining 3D design, additive manufacturing and advanced materials to achieve performance once thought impossible.
Supporting critical infrastructure worldwide — from nuclear medicine production to future off-world habitats.
