Design

Cost of manufacture should be minimised without compromising the performance of the product. A detailed understanding of the client’s problem is crucial to the building of an effective design specification.

The skills to utilize the latest design tools effectively are pre-requisite to both achieving the best solution as quickly as possible, and to communicating the ideas behind that solution in the most effective way. Everyone involved needs to fully understand what is being proposed and why.

Enthusiasm, talent, and a belief that almost anything can be improved, helps to drive our team to try to always produce innovative ideas. We pride ourselves that more than one client has been able to apply for patents as a result of our work. We also like to work in the real world where cost is very important. We are used to providing cost breakdowns of all the components, as well as the cost of assembling the parts. Some areas where we feel we are particularly strong are the design of welded structures, castings and forgings, mechanisms and hydraulic circuits
