Mechanical design for technical development in industry and automotive
From the initial idea through to production
Our mechanical design service turns an idea into a product that can actually be built. Enginext supports companies in defining mechanical components, assemblies and sub-assemblies. We work both on the creation of new projects and on the optimisation of existing systems.
What Enginext’s service includes
The design procedure follows a structured, sequential workflow. We split the work into four clear phases to keep the outcome fully under control.
Feasibility study (preliminary design)
The process begins with an analysis of the client’s requirements. We assess the specific needs and provide guidance on how to bring the idea to life. This preliminary analysis defines the technical foundations of the project.
Fine-tuning and calculation
The initial study is ofrectly linked to the verification activities. Through calculation and simulation work, we test the component virtually. The results let us refine the part and solve any structural issues.
Detailed design
Once the changes are approved, we move on to the design proper. We produce the 3D drawings and the construction drawings needed for manufacturing. We define every detail so the component is ready to be physically produced.
Verification and design review
Before moving into production, a documentary check is required: we verify that all the regulatory conformity certificates are in place. This final step helps prevent slip-ups and keeps the work consistent.
How to get started with mechanical design
Our service is suitable for:
Design from scratch
of components and systems.
Post-simulation correction
we step in with a targeted approach to modify and fix products that did not pass the calculation and simulation tests.
Everything through a single
point of contact
For complex products or systems, we work as project manager for the entire development. We coordinate the different work sub-groups and manage the whole process centrally. The company then deals with a single contact, avoiding any waste of time or resources.
Who we work with
We act as a fully-fledged outsourced engineering office for companies that do not have an in-house design department. The service is aimed at:
Industrial and automotive companies
Manufacturers of vehicles, agricultural machinery and mechanical components.
Small and medium-sized enterprises
Businesses that outsource the entire design cycle, from the feasibility study through to the final construction drawings.
Companies looking for optimisation
Businesses that need a targeted intervention on existing components to solve issues that have emerged during production or calculation.
Why choose Enginext
Frequently
asked questions
How much does it cost?
The cost depends on the complexity of the project. Building a single component requires a different budget from developing a complex system. We assess each request to provide a tailored quote.
How long does it take?
Timelines depend on the scope of the work and the iterations required. Running multiple calculation cycles to refine the part has a direct impact on the overall project duration.
When is the best time to do it?
Design must come before any production phase. Planning development upfront avoids material waste, helps prevent costly mistakes and reduces the risk of downstream hold-ups.
What documentation do you deliver at the end of the project?
We deliver 2D drawings and construction drawings. This documentation defines the details of the component and is required to start physical production correctly.
Does the design also include structural verification?
Yes, we integrate the initial feasibility study with calculation work. This iterative process lets us refine the part and solve any issues before the detailed design phase itself.
Do your designs follow ISO or UNI/DIN standards?
We confirm compliance with the safety standards applicable to each product. That said, we take a flexible, tailored approach: we assess the technical specifications at the preliminary stage to adapt the work to the client’s real needs.
