Equipment & Capability

Equipment & Capability

Mechatrons FX combines specialist practical effects equipment with bespoke mechanical, electronic and computer-controlled systems developed for production requirements.

Every build starts from the same in-house capability: a Dublin workshop equipped for fabrication, electronics and mechanism testing, backed by the practical SFX equipment a production expects on set.
