What We Do
As mechanical innovators, the combination of 3D design, computational analysis and verification, prototyping, and failure assessments are something that our mechanical engineering team excel at.
Mechanical Design and Analysis
Our Mechanical Design and Analysis services are foundational to our engineering work. We specialise in 3D CAD modelling, machine component design, sheet metal design, drafting, and engineering strength analysis (FEA). Our expertise ensures designs that meet all relevant standards and perform reliably under real-world conditions.
Product Development and Innovation
We bring your ideas to life through our Product Development and Innovation services. From concept and design to prototyping and production, we ensure your products are both innovative and market-ready. Whether you're a startup, an established company, or looking to improve an existing product or system, we provide the support needed to turn concepts into successful solutions.
System Optimisation and Component Replication
We can assist in fine-tuning existing mechanical systems to improve performance and extend their lifespan. If any parts are worn out or no longer available, we use advanced 3D laser scanning to create accurate replacements. This ensures your systems stay operational and reliable.
Failure Analysis, Investigation, and Reporting
Our Failure Analysis and Investigation services delve into the root causes of issues, using advanced techniques such as fatigue analysis to predict past and prevent future failures. We provide comprehensive reports detailing our findings and recommending corrective actions, helping you make informed decisions to improve system performance.
Manufacturing Support
Our Manufacturing Support services encompass the entire production process, from material sourcing to final assembly. We conduct thorough design reviews using methodologies such as DFMA and DFMEA, ensuring your designs are optimised for cost and reliability. We also assist in setting up strict quality control processes to guarantee that your products meet the highest standards. Our goal is to streamline the manufacturing process, helping our clients reduce unnecessary expenses and focus on innovation.
Compliance and Documentation Services
Our Compliance and Documentation services include design validation, certification, and independent design reviews. We also create detailed operational manuals, maintenance schedules, and other essential documentation to support the effective management and operation of machinery or systems, ensuring your project meets all regulatory requirement
