Q5D is an innovative company with a mission to automate the manufacture and assembly of wiring looms. We are developing machinery and processes for the Automotive and Aerospace industries to gain the highest level of accreditation. The benefits our products and process provide will be clearly visible in vehicles and consumer products of the future.

Our unique technology allows wiring looms to be integrated with existing cosmetic or structural parts already in the assembly, removing fasteners and features that are needed to keep the wire in the correct locations. This integration allows savings in weight, assembly time and gives greater design freedom.


Q5D combines the knowledge, IP and skills of two highly innovative UK high-tech companies. Together they have the experience to be able to rapidly drive this new technology to market.

The two companies were brought together at meetings of the Bessemer Society an organisation made up of the founders and CEOs of UK manufacturing companies. CEL-UK had developed a clever 5-axis platform that incorporated a 3D printer and silver based printed electronics, but they were frustrated that the silver paste needed to be cured in an oven. M-Solv had developed a technology that could cure and sinter much less expensive copper inks using a laser, so no separate ovens. It was a perfect match not only technically, but also in outlook and personality; in April 2019 Q5D was created.
