Services

End-to-end engineering clarity: From a single component to the entire production line.

Four specialized engineering disciplines tailored to your real-world targets. Engage a single service for a specific challenge, or scale seamlessly as your project evolves.

How we work

Engineering consultancy first. Analysis when it adds value.

The engineering question first

We start by defining what your component or system must achieve—whether you are validating a new concept, reducing material costs, upgrading performance specs, or resolving a field issue. Once the physical requirements are clear, we select the leanest, most effective analysis path to deliver clear answers without unnecessary complexity.

Fit-for-purpose methods

From advanced open-source FEA/CFD to streamlined hand calculations, we deploy the precise level of analysis required: no more, no less.

Accessible high-end services

By eliminating five-figure software licence overheads, we make advanced engineering analysis affordable and high-ROI for growing industrial SMEs.

Open-source FEA Open-source CFD

Combined when it makes sense

Services that fit together. None that come bundled.

Much of the work overlaps, so projects often combine several services. Every step below is also offered on its own.

A new plastic part

  1. Part and assembly design
  2. Design for injection moulding
  3. FEA to confirm strength and stiffness
  4. 3D-printed functional prototype

Or only the FEA. Or only the DfM review.

A new injection mould

  1. DfM review of the part model
  2. FEA where the part design needs checking
  3. Toolmaker selection and sign-off of the tool design
  4. Supervision of sampling and corrections until release

Or only the supervision of a mould already ordered.

A production project

  1. Tender and customer-audit support
  2. Quality and production procedures
  3. Assembly line, fixtures and automation
  4. Control and monitoring software

Or only the fixtures. Or only the software.

Track record

Three decades on the factory floor, and at the head of the company.

Founder · Consulting engineer

I spent my career inside a custom manufacturer: first in maintenance and technical management, then running the company. The advice I give is shaped by what actually happens on a moulding machine, in a tool shop and on an assembly line.

Discuss your engineering problem.

Tell us what you are developing, changing or trying to fix. We first look at the engineering question, then say plainly what is worth doing: a calculation, a design review, a test, a simulation, or a combination.
