Product Design & Engineering
High-performance mechanical product design that meets industry standards while staying manufacturable, durable and cost-efficient. Over ten years of work for industrial manufacturers, food and beverage, packaging, pharmaceutical and oil and gas.
Every stage, in order
Requirement gathering & feasibility study
Every mechanical product starts with understanding what it must do and what limits it. We identify the functional, form and environmental requirements, then run technical feasibility studies against constraints, material choices and available manufacturing methods. Market research establishes realistic cost factors, and a defined scope with budget and timeline guides the build from concept to completion.
Principle design & ideation
We investigate multiple design possibilities before settling on one — concepts through sketching and CAD mockups, then basic 3D models to check structural intent early. Materials and components are evaluated on mechanical properties, weight and cost. Low-fidelity functional prototypes test practicality, simulation predicts performance before commitment, and detailed cost reporting shows the financial consequence of each iteration.
Detailed 3D modelling & CAD design
- Parametric 3D modelling, so later changes stay cheap
- Assembly design covering multi-component interaction and moving parts
- Motion study and kinematic analysis
- Tolerance stack-up analysis for real-world fit and function
- SolidWorks, Creo, CATIA, AutoCAD, Inventor
Engineering analysis & design validation
- Finite element analysis (FEA) for stress, deformation and fatigue life
- Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for airflow, heat dissipation and fluid behaviour
- Thermal and vibration analysis against operating conditions
- Design optimisation — weight reduction, cost minimisation, performance
- ANSYS, HyperMesh
Design for manufacturing & assembly
- Material selection across plastics, metals and composites
- Process selection — CNC machining, injection moulding, sheet metal, casting
- Tooling and fixture design
- GD&T for standardised precision and fit
Prototype development & functional testing
- 3D printing and rapid prototyping for quick validation
- CNC machining, injection moulding and sheet metal fabrication for functional prototypes
- Physical stress, impact and operational testing
- Design iteration driven by test data
Manufacturing support & documentation
- Production-ready annotated 2D drawings and bill of materials
- Assembly and maintenance manuals
- Vendor coordination for procurement and supplier selection
- Compliance with ISO, ASME, ASTM and other standards
Post-production support
Our commitment runs past manufacturing. We handle design revisions and updates, failure analysis and troubleshooting, and obsolescence management when components go end-of-life — plus continuous value engineering to reduce cost without giving up performance.
