Industrial product development
I turn a need into equipment that can be built: concept, calculations, 3D design, shop drawings and quality documentation, for one-off or series production.
Engagement options
- Full development of new equipment
- Redesign or upgrade of existing equipment
- Documentation for certification
What's included
From idea to workshop, with the standards covered.
Concept and feasibility
Requirements, solution options and cost estimate before design starts.
3D design and calculation
Modelling in SolidWorks and Rhino and verification by finite element analysis.
Fabrication documents
Shop drawings, welding and inspection procedures and bills of materials.
Quality and certification
Procedures to EN 1090, API 650, ASME or AWWA, and support with workshop certification.
Who it's for
- Steel fabrication shops that want to launch their own product.
- Plants that need a bespoke solution not available off the shelf.
- Manufacturers seeking EN 1090 certification or working to petrochemical codes.
- Companies with a piece of equipment that keeps failing and needs redesigning.
What you get
- 3D model and fabrication drawings
- Calculation report
- Fabrication and inspection procedures
- Quality dossier
- Technical support while the prototype is built
