Precision engineering, start to finish
From initial CAD geometry through environmental qualification — we cover every phase of the mechanical engineering lifecycle.
3D CAD Modeling
SolidWorks · OnshapePrecision mechanical modeling is the foundation of every successful hardware program. We work from early-stage sketches and requirements documents to deliver fully constrained, production-ready 3D models and assemblies. Whether you need a single custom component or a complete multi-level assembly, every model is built with downstream manufacturing and testing in mind.
- Part and assembly models (SolidWorks or Onshape)
- Detailed engineering drawings with GD&T
- Bill of materials (BOM)
- Revision-controlled design files
Structural FEA
Static · Modal · Fatigue · VibrationBuild confidence in your design before committing to hardware. Finite element analysis lets us simulate real-world structural loads — vibration, shock, static forces, and fatigue cycles — identifying failure modes and margin of safety early in the design process. We scope simulations to match your qualification standards, from commercial IEC requirements to MIL-STD environmental profiles.
- FEA simulation reports with safety margins
- Mesh convergence and methodology documentation
- Design recommendations and iteration support
- Qualification test correlation
Fluid & Thermal Simulation
CFD · Thermal Modeling · Airflow OptimizationHeat is the silent killer of high-density electronics. We use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and thermal modeling to map airflow paths, identify hot spots, and validate cooling solutions before you commit to sheet metal. From server chassis thermal characterization to edge compute enclosure design, we engineer to your thermal budget.
- CFD flow visualization and analysis reports
- Junction temperature predictions for key components
- Airflow impedance and pressure drop analysis
- Design optimization recommendations
DFA & DFM
Design for Assembly · Design for ManufacturabilityThe most elegant design is worthless if it can't be built efficiently. We review assemblies for manufacturing feasibility and assembly sequence — catching issues like blind fasteners, tolerance stack-ups, and tooling conflicts that drive up unit cost and build time. These reviews are most valuable early in the design process, but we can engage at any stage.
- DFA/DFM review report with annotated findings
- Tolerance stack-up analysis
- Recommended design changes ranked by impact
- Engagement with your contract manufacturer if needed
Design Review
Risk Assessment · Technical Audit · Peer ReviewA structured design review by an independent mechanical engineer surfaces problems that internal teams — close to the work and under schedule pressure — can miss. We review drawings, 3D models, and test data against your requirements, identifying structural risks, thermal concerns, tolerance issues, and compliance gaps with a fresh set of experienced eyes.
- Formal design review report
- Prioritized risk register with mitigation recommendations
- Requirements traceability review
- Verbal debrief and Q&A session
Test Planning & Prototyping Support
Test Protocols · Environmental Qualification · ValidationWe help you validate your design with confidence — developing test plans, defining pass/fail criteria, and supporting prototype builds from first article through environmental qualification. On-site or remote support is available depending on your location and test facility setup.
- Test plan documentation (vibration, thermal, shock, etc.)
- Prototype build support and first-article inspection
- Test execution support (on-site or remote)
- Test report and design closure documentation
