Engineering Services

Focused support for practical design work.

CAD, product development and technical documentation for a defined task or several stages of development.

01

3D CAD Modelling

Accurate parts and assemblies created from sketches, measurements, reference images or existing components.

  • Parts and enclosures
  • Mechanical assemblies
  • SolidWorks, STEP and STL
View details Hide details

Examples and applications

  • Product parts and components
  • Enclosures and housings
  • Brackets, mounts and fixtures
  • Replacement parts
  • Mechanical assemblies
  • Hinges, clips and simple mechanisms
  • Prototype geometry
  • Parts recreated from physical measurements

Possible deliverables

  • SolidWorks part and assembly files
  • STEP
  • IGES
  • Parasolid
  • STL
  • Other agreed CAD formats

SolidWorks parts and assemblies can also be converted into front, top, side, isometric, section and detail drawing views. Formats and drawing content are agreed for each project.

02

2D CAD & Layout Drawings

Clear layouts, plans, profiles and dimensioned drawings prepared from sketches, PDFs, measurements or existing files.

  • Equipment and site layouts
  • DWG and DXF drawings
  • Cutting profiles
View details Hide details

Examples and applications

  • Equipment and machinery layouts
  • Workshop, workspace, site and space layouts
  • General arrangement drawings

  • Product enclosures and cases
  • Clips, hinges, lids and locking features
  • Component interfaces and internal layouts
  • Assembly design
  • Ergonomic and usability considerations
  • Design refinement
  • Design for prototyping and manufacturing
  • Modification of an existing concept or product

Starting information

  • A written idea or functional requirement
  • A hand sketch
  • Reference products
  • An existing prototype
  • An incomplete CAD model

Possible deliverables

  • Concept and revision models
  • Design alternatives
  • Functional CAD assemblies
  • Prototype-ready files
  • Manufacturing drawings
  • Final agreed CAD files
04

3D Printing & CNC Support

CNC support

  • DXF or DWG cutting profiles
  • Flat component geometry and CNC-ready outlines
  • Hole and slot layouts
  • Panel and sheet component preparation
  • Basic nesting preparation where appropriate
  • Adjustment for available tools, cutters or material thickness

Physical printing or cutting may be available or arranged depending on material, dimensions, quantity, finish and machine availability. Production is reviewed and quoted separately.

05

Technical Drawings, Visualisation & Engineering Analysis

Technical documentation, design visuals and preliminary analysis to support review, prototyping and supplier communication.

  • Manufacturing drawings
  • Renderings and exploded views
  • Preliminary FEA
View details Hide details

Drawings and visual communication

  • Dimensioned part and assembly drawings
  • Orthographic, section and detail views
  • Exploded and general arrangement drawings
  • Drawing notes, specifications and basic tolerances
  • Bills of materials
  • Technical illustrations
  • Product renderings and presentation images

Preliminary analysis

  • Finite element analysis for agreed design comparisons
  • Identification of potential high-stress or high-deformation areas
  • Geometry refinement to support design development

Analysis scope, loads, restraints, materials and assumptions must be agreed before work begins.

Preliminary engineering analysis does not constitute statutory certification or independent engineering verification unless specifically agreed and completed by an appropriately qualified professional.

Who we work with

Supporting individuals, students, makers, start-ups, small businesses and product developers.
