Engineering support from idea to implementation.

When this is the right fit

You need a part or mechanism designed (or redesigned) so that it works, can be manufactured, and fits your cost and assembly constraints.

Approach

1. 01Requirement gathering — function, envelope, interfaces, environment, quantity
2. 02Concept development and evaluation against the requirements
3. 03Detailed design with the manufacturing method in mind
4. 04Drawing / model preparation with a clear revision process

What you can expect

• Concept evaluation against your requirements
• Detailed drawings and/or 3D models
• Material and process recommendations for review
• Revision-controlled design documentation

When this is the right fit

A part or assembly exists but no longer does what you need — a fit issue, a duty change, an obsolete component, a cost reduction target.

Approach

1. 01Understand the current part and why it is the way it is
2. 02Define what must change and what must not
3. 03Develop and evaluate modification options
4. 04Document the agreed change clearly for manufacture

What you can expect

• Assessment of the current design
• Modification options with trade-offs
• Revised drawings or models
• Clear documentation of what changed and why

When this is the right fit

A drawing needs to be proven in the real world — fit, function, assembly, or service behaviour — before or during production.

Approach

1. 01Define what the prototype must demonstrate
2. 02Select the simplest manufacturing route that answers the question
3. 03Produce prototype part(s)
4. 04Review findings and plan the next iteration or release

What you can expect

• Prototype part(s) per agreed scope
• Inspection of prototype against the design
• Findings review and recommended next steps

When this is the right fit

You have a part or idea but not the documentation: sketches instead of drawings, a sample without dimensions, or legacy drawings that need modernising.

Approach

1. 01Gather the source material — sketches, samples, old drawings
2. 02Define what the documentation must support (manufacture, quotation, records)
3. 03Produce drawings and/or 3D models with proper dimensions and tolerances
4. 04Review with you and issue revision-controlled documents

What you can expect

• Dimensioned 2D drawings
• 3D models where useful
• Revision-controlled documentation
• A document set a manufacturer can quote and build from

When this is the right fit

You want confidence that a design will carry load, move as intended, or survive its environment before committing to hardware.

Approach

1. 01Define the questions the analysis must answer
2. 02Build an appropriate model of the design and its loads
3. 03Run structural, motion or thermal assessments as applicable (for example finite-element or flow analysis, where relevant to the question)
4. 04Interpret results and feed back into the design

What you can expect

• Analysis-ready CAD model
• Analysis results with interpretation
• Design change recommendations where indicated
• Summary suitable for design review

When this is the right fit

A machine or line has parts from many suppliers — mechanical drives, motors, sensors, controls — that must work together reliably.

Approach

1. 01Document what the system must do, step by step
2. 02Map the mechanical, electrical and control interfaces
3. 03Engineer the integration — including programmable-controller logic where applicable
4. 04Verify the system behaviour against the requirement

What you can expect

• System requirement definition
• Interface documentation
• Integration engineering per agreed scope
• Verification against the agreed behaviour

When this is the right fit

An existing machine, fixture or process underperforms — reliability, cycle time, ergonomics, or a recurring quality issue.

Approach

1. 01Observe and document the current state, with data where available
2. 02Identify the constraint or failure mechanism
3. 03Propose improvement options with trade-offs — including structured, data-driven methods such as Six Sigma-style approaches where suitable
4. 04Implement with your team and verify the result

What you can expect

• Current-state assessment
• Improvement proposal(s) with trade-offs
• Implemented changes per agreed scope
• Verification against the original problem
