Engineering Analysis

Engineering Design validation we would confirm through the use of rigorous analysis tools including, FEA (Finite Element Analysis – Structural, Modal, Thermal), FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), DFM/A (Design For Manufacture / Assembly) and Geometrical Tolerance Analysis.

Product Realisation

We have in house 3D Printing capability including both SLA and FDM processes for prototype parts. For other formats, MJF, SLS, DMLS, we work closely with a number of external rapid prototyping companies. We also work with trusted manufacturing partners in the UK and abroad to provide a full turnkey solution to get your product to market.

How we work

Successful outcomes are fundamentally determined by clearly defined project requirements.

Our approach is based on the Double Diamond process, shown below, developed by the UK Design Council.

discover define develop deliver

Stage 1: Discover

Seek to understand, rather than assume. In the initial discovery phase we spend time with people who are affected by the issues or gaps to ensure the problem being solved is the correct one and capture this in a requirements brief.

Stage 2: Define

Work up potential solutions to the problem and assess their viability against the requirements established in stage 1.

Stage 3: Develop

Seeking inspiration from elsewhere and co-designing with an appropriately skilled cross functional team, the preferred solutions are developed into working designs.

Stage 4: Deliver

Depending on the scope of engagement, delivery may involve testing out different solutions at small-scale with prototypes or the full support of final production parts with formal qualification.

Associate Network

We work with a trusted network of associates, all of whom are highly experienced and share our passion for excellence. This ensures that our clients can be confident they are dealing with time served specialists with proven credentials.
