Mechanical Design

Mechanical Design focuses on the physical components that make up a product. The shape of components, the selection of appropriate materials and the use of appropriate manufacturing and assembly methods are critical to profitability and can spell the difference between a highly profitable product and a failure.

Many factors are key to good mechanical design including intended production volumes, environmental factors, applied loads, the speed of movement, cost and statutory regulations. All of these need to be considered in order to produce a design that is optimal.

Testing and verification of components and assembled products minimises the risk of product failure or recall. A good mechanical design will reliably deliver the functionality demanded of a product at the lowest overall cost.
