At MechSpace, as the UCL Stem Racing Academy, we would like to fill in the gap for those schools that might not have the machinery, but whose students have the talent and the willingness to take part in the competition. This is why we do not charge for the manufacturing, as we are committed to support the education of the schools who would like to work with us.
You should note that, we do not act only as a manufacturing centre; but we would like the schools that we work with to get involved in the iterative process where they will be receiving technical advice from our technical staff to improve their designs. Hence, the lead manufacturing time is more related to how quick you act on the iteration/changes recommended by our Technical Team to make your model manufacturable.
The usual timeline since the design has been signed off is 10 working days, but for that we would have to have on site the blocks that you should be purchasing from the Denford webshop. Please note that the manufacturing delivery times will also depend on the period of the year, since we need to prioritise our UCL MechEng student projects.
The only costs associated to manufacturing your model at MechSpace, are the ones associated to purchasing the blocks to manufacture the models (from Denford webshop), and posting costs if you cannot come to collect the models in person.
You can purchase the blocks from the Denford webshop and they can be posted directly to MechSpace. This will make the timeline shorter than if they were delivered to you, and then you have to post them to us. To do this please select the product STEM Racing Model Block Blank - shipped to UCL MechSpace for Manufacturing at the Denford webshop.
