OR3D

A proud moment for OR3D last month 🏴️‍☠️

Our MD James Earl was invited to AMRC Cymru to meet Adam Price MS, Cabinet Minister for Enterprise, Connectivity and Energy, alongside other companies who've received funding through the Flintshire and Wrexham Investment Zone.

A really valuable visit - hearing directly from the Minister about Welsh Government's plans to support Welsh businesses, and meeting other Investment Zone-backed companies across the region doing brilliant things in advanced manufacturing.

The Investment Zone funding is enabling our OR3D CT team in Chirk to work towards EN4179 aerospace accreditation – on track to become the first company in Wales, and the UK's only independent industrial CT services provider, to work to this standard.

Thanks to AMRC Cymru for hosting, and to Wrexham County Borough Council, Ambition North Wales and the Investment Zone team for the continued support.

Proud to be part of what's being built in Wales 🙌

A proud moment for OR3D 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

OR3D CT is on track to become the first company in Wales – and the UK's only independent industrial CT services provider – to gain the EN4179 aerospace accreditation.

What does that mean? In short, we'll be qualified to inspect parts for the UK aerospace supply chain – including flight-critical components used in modern aircraft manufacturing.

It's been made possible by an Accreditation grant from the Flintshire and Wrexham Investment Zone, awarded by Wrexham county borough council. And this week the story was picked up by Aerospace Manufacturing magazine.

A huge thank you to Cllr Nigel Williams (who visited us in Chirk on 30th July), Amanda Holmes and the whole Investment Zone team at Wrexham County Borough Council, Ambition North Wales, and everyone who's helped get us this far.

Proud to be based in Chirk. Proud to be Welsh. And proud to be showing what a Welsh SME can do with the right backing.

Diwrnod balch i ni yn Chirk

Mae OR3D CT ar y trywydd i ddod y cwmni cyntaf yng Nghymru, a'r unig ddarparwr gwasanaethau CT diwydiannol annibynnol yn y Deyrnas Unedig, i ennill yr achrediad awyrofod EN4179.

Beth mae hynny'n ei olygu? Yn fyr, byddwn yn achrededig i archwilio rhannau ar gyfer cadwyn gyflenwi awyrofod y Deyrnas Unedig, gan gynnwys cydrannau sy'n hanfodol i hedfan, a ddefnyddir wrth weithgynhyrchu awyrennau modern.

Mae hyn wedi bod yn bosib diolch i grant Achredu gan Barth Buddsoddi Sir y Fflint a Wrecsam, a ddyfarnwyd gan county borough council. Ac yr wythnos yma, cafodd y stori sylw yng nghylchgrawn Aerospace Manufacturing.

Diolch o galon i'r Cynghorydd Nigel Williams (a ddaeth draw i'n gweld ni yn Chirk ar 30ain Gorffennaf), Amanda Holmes a thîm cyfan y Parth Buddsoddi yng Nghyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Wrecsam, Ambition North Wales, a phawb sydd wedi'n helpu ni i gyrraedd y fan hon.

Balch o fod wedi'n lleoli yn Chirk. Balch o fod yn Gymry. A balch o ddangos beth all busnes bach a chanolig Cymreig ei wneud efo'r gefnogaeth iawn.

Another great event with Adrenaline Events at the Chirk 10k! 🏃

OR3D are a proud sponsor of Sporting Events for 2026, and were delighted to support this year's race, superbly organised by Alan Lewis and his brilliant team.

Flying the OR3D flag this time: James Ear, Leanne Jones and Thomas Feilden - a scorcher of a day with plenty of hills to climb, so real kudos to everyone who took part!

Big shout out to Alexis Earl, who volunteered on the day handing out medals to every finisher. 🙌

A special mention to - Caffi Wylfa too - we registered there before the race and headed straight back afterwards for some very well-earned coffee and breakfast. The team handled the rush brilliantly! ☕

We're delighted to welcome Hashim Ahmed to OR3D as our new Sales Manager for CT.

Hashim joins us with seven years of experience supporting customers across multiple industries with inspection and metrology systems, including CT and X-Ray.

His focus will be CT scanner sales across the UK and Ireland for RX Solutions, the manufacturer behind the EasyTom, UltraTom, Metrology and FAB Series of industrial CT systems. He'll also work hand-in-hand with our analysis and inspection partners - Volume Graphics by Hexagon, Dragonfly, Deben and CactuX - to make sure every customer gets the right solution end-to-end, not just the right machine.

Hashim arrives at a genuinely exciting moment for OR3D, and we couldn't be happier to have him on the team.

If you're considering industrial CT - whether that's your first system or expanding what you already have - Hashim is your first point of call. Drop him a message via the OR3D page or reach out directly.

Welcome, Hashim 👏

BBQ season has begun at OR3D! 🔥 First one down, plenty more to come. The team knows how to celebrate after a successful CT Open Day!
