Services
CAD Design
Our CAD design services utilise leading software platforms to create precision engineering models and production drawings. We implement knowledge-based engineering techniques to maximise design efficiency while ensuring compatibility with client PDM systems. Our approach optimises data reuse and automates downstream processes for improved project delivery.
Mechanical Analysis
We conduct comprehensive finite element analysis for stress, strain and fatigue prediction using Inventor Nastran. Our analysis extends to thermal, harmonic and computational fluid dynamics assessments, providing critical insights for design optimisation of welded and fabricated structures in demanding applications.
Prototyping
Through strategic manufacturing partnerships, we deliver prototype development with full integration of hydraulics, electronics and control systems. Our real-world design approach ensures prototypes meet regulatory requirements and production feasibility standards while maintaining cost efficiency.
Welded Structures
Specialising in highly-stressed welded assemblies, we combine finite element analysis with manufacturing expertise to optimise material selection and production processes. Our designs comply with British and Swedish weld classification standards, ensuring structural integrity and cost-effective fabrication.
Mechanism Design
We develop precision mechanisms using CAD simulation and mathematical modelling. Our approach integrates load analysis and kinematic optimisation to ensure reliable operation, with applications ranging from industrial machinery to specialised mechanical systems requiring CE marking compliance.
