Mechanical Engineering Design

This service provides the technical background and reasoning behind how a system should be made. In order to meet certain performance criteria, physical constrains and other specifics, products must be built in certain ways. The engineering design governs this and provides the foundational requirements which later iterations of the product can build upon.

This service is offered:

  • To businesses or individuals looking to outsource design work

  • As part of the full solution development process within Vale Industrial Design - from Concept Development to Prototype

I offer the below:

  • Fully documented and traceable mechanical design report

  • Access to, and experience with the below Computer Aided Design (CAD) packages

    • Autodesk Fusion 360

    • Solidworks

    • PTC Onshape

  • Experience with the below CAD packages:

    • Catia 3DX

In order for suitable component design and selection to take place, and for required safety levels to be met, Vale Industrial Design ensures a record of technical decisions is maintained in a secure design report. Attributes such as scope changes, critical design decisions and workings are recorded in here to provide an information repository which can be referred to at any point.

A modern necessity in any product development process includes CAD modelling. This helps the engineer check technical details like fit, form and function, and conveys a refined visual to the customer on what the end product may look like. It also informs following manufacturing stages.

Customers benefit from seeing a “real-life” version of their solution.

  • Parametrically designed for model flexibility

  • Design For Manufacture (DFM) is considered throughout

  • Configurations ensure options are accounted for, right from the start
