Manufacturing capability at TTP
Reducing risk and time to market by taking your products from development into manufacture.
Working seamlessly with TTP development teams, TTP’s Manufacturing group can take your products through prototype builds, clinical trials, pilot manufacture and into ongoing production. With our dedicated manufacturing team and facilities including microfabrication, cleanrooms, electronics and mechanical assembly, TTP Manufacturing carries out controlled, traceable builds, reducing your development uncertainty, risk and time to market.
End to end product development and manufacturing
TTP Manufacturing offers a unique blend of consulting and manufacturing with a true end-to-end service, moving you swiftly from design into pilot and full production while avoiding the risks, costs, and delays of third-party transfer.
Designed for efficiency and quality
We work alongside your project team during development, bringing manufacturing engineering insight to optimise designs early. Our expertise includes development and refinement of manufacturing processes, lean manufacturing techniques to streamline production workflows, oversight of BOM management, supplier selection, procurement, inventory control, and process FMEA, and the creation of full work instructions and ISO13485-compliant records where required.
Scalable, flexible, proven
Our flexible and agile approach means we can scale resources up or down without adding unnecessary cost, allowing production to grow with your product’s success. We manage change efficiently and, when the time is right, guide you to full-scale contract manufacturing.
With tens of thousands of devices produced across life sciences, medical devices, and deep tech - and client relationships spanning more than a decade - TTP Manufacturing is your trusted partner for product verification and production.
Because TTP is involved in the development and manufacturing, the knowledge is retained through the process, which is unique. What you offer is really fantastic.

TTP Manufacturing’s Microfab facility allowed us to get performance success in the early stages of development – CSEM and Philips could not have carried out such rapid iteration at a critical point in the development of our technology.

Integrating manufacturing and development
Ensuring a product can be efficiently manufactured is an essential part of the development process. Recognising this at TTP is key to the quality of our designs and the products our clients bring to market.
- Manufacturing input at every stage - At each step of the design and development process, the manufacturing team provides input into design reviews, drawing on Design for Assembly analysis, hands-on experience of system builds, and manufacturing process development.
- Collaboration during prototype builds - As projects move into prototype phases, the manufacturing team works alongside design engineers and technical teams to drive continuous improvement.
- For low-volume prototypes: joint build and design refinement.
- For higher-volume prototypes (e.g. medical product verification testing): the manufacturing team takes on all build aspects and supports with jigging, fixturing and end-of-line testing.
- Ensuring a product can be efficiently manufactured is an essential part of the development process. At TTP, recognising this early is key to the quality of our designs and the success of the products our clients bring to market.
- Seamless design-to-manufacture transition - Close integration of TTP’s design and manufacturing teams removes issues that often arise when transferring products to contract manufacture.
- Support through to high-volume manufacturing - When it’s time to transfer your product to full-scale manufacturing, TTP supports you every step of the way with collaborative builds, full data pack preparation and training and debug at the CMO site.
By involving TTP Manufacturing early, we ensure transfer to high-volume production is not just seamless, but efficient, reliable, and set up for long-term success.
Accelerating device development with microfabrication capability
From wearables and sensors to biotech devices and microfluidics, TTP’s world-class microfabrication facility gives you a development edge that few can match. We deliver rapid prototyping, protect your IP at every stage, and support seamless scale-up - all under one roof. By integrating microfabrication with our multidisciplinary design, engineering, and manufacturing teams, we help you iterate faster, reduce risk, and reach market readiness sooner - without compromising performance or IP protection.
Microfabrication that sets you ahead
- Rapid turnaround: Move from concept to prototype in weeks, not months. Our agile approach significantly shortens development cycles compared to the typical 4–5 month timeline at external foundries.
- Unmatched flexibility: We work with a broad range of materials and fabrication techniques, including those often unavailable or potentially not allowed in certain more rigid foundries.
- IP security by design: In-house fabrication means your intellectual property and process know-how always remain protected. When a specialist process is developed, then you may own it rather than the foundry.
- Optimised for early-stage development: Our facilities include various cleanrooms, dedicated bio-labs, anechoic chamber and other specialised labs/equipment help with high-agility development needs, and often lacking at most foundries or consultancies.
- Proven track record: With over 100 successful projects and more than 30 years of experience in Microfabrication and Microfluidics, we bring deep expertise to every engagement.
- Scalable solutions - from prototype to production: TTP Manufacturing provides low-to-medium volume in-house production capabilities, which can operate under our ISO13485 certification if required. This avoids the upfront costs and delays of moving to a foundry, while enabling a smooth transition to scale-up when needed. We also maintain strong partnerships with trusted global foundries in Europe, Canada, and China, ensuring smooth knowledge transfer and scale-up to high volume production, when the time is right.
Comprehensive in-house microfabrication
Operating within an ISO6 cleanroom and supported by robust health and safety systems, standardised and repeatable semiconductor equipment and ISO13485-certified manufacturing processes, our facility supports:
- Fabrication, packaging, and characterisation in silicon, glass, polymers, piezoelectric and more
- Production proofing up to 6" wafer scale
- Rapid prototyping and bespoke small-scale manufacturing
Series production with quality system compliance
Knowing when to transfer a product to full-scale contract manufacturing is difficult, especially when market adoption is uncertain, or the product is so novel it is creating its own market. The process of design transfer can be complex, costly and rather than presenting an opportunity for your business, can be a stumbling block to your progress.
We can set up for series production with full compliance to quality system requirements, and in compliance with our ISO 13485:2016 certification for contract manufacturing for medical devices. Our approach is designed to remove friction and maintain momentum:
- Agility and flexibility to match unpredictable production volumes.
- Integrated design and manufacturing teams - the people who created your product are immediately available to resolve issues.
- Rapid change implementation - Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) processed quickly, with production re-validated and designs re-verified where required.
With TTP, you don’t just get manufacturing capacity, you get a joined-up, responsive team that keeps quality high, change fast, and production moving.
Cleanroom facilities for medical device manufacturing
We operate a robust QMS for IVD and medical device manufacturing. Our manufacturing facilities include ISO 6, 7 and 8 cleanroom facilities - all managed in compliance with relevant cleanroom standards (ISO 14644).
Our capabilities include:
- Part control and full traceability, tailored to your build
- Comprehensive batch records, product release documentation, and maintenance of all facility, equipment, training, and process records
TTP Manufacturing has produced tens of thousands of devices, building customer relationships that span more than a decade. When your business and market growth make the time right, we’re ready to guide you through transferring production to a full-scale CMO.
If you need to turn prototypes into qualified, production-ready products - designed for manufacture and supported as your market grows - we can help.
