EXPERTISE
Mechanical Engineering
Your most difficult mechanical engineering problems, solved
Developing a complex mechanical or electromechanical system from scratch is daunting. Adopting the wrong approach – or the wrong balance between analysis, exploration, physical prototyping and testing – could delay your programme, incur extra costs and jeopardise future investment.
Without the right development structures in place, you could overlook more creative solutions. That’s why product managers choose our mechanical engineers to help them solve difficult problems.
Our expert team has broad experience in designing intricate mechanisms, microfluidic systems, dynamic systems, and thermal management, through to complete laboratory instruments, consumer products and production and process equipment. They conduct numerical and virtual simulation, empirical analysis, and frequent prototyping and testing.
As a result, we develop fully operational solutions that help you overcome design challenges so that you can build products cost-effectively and release them to market quickly.
A smoother, faster, more efficient process
During each phase of a product development programme, you need different prototyping and production processes. That means that in addition to defining what a prototype needs to do, it’s essential to consider requirements for durability, accuracy, refinement and materials.
We understand every aspect of the mechanical design process, with experience across different types of businesses, from start-ups to established brands, and across various sectors, including medical, laboratory, consumer, and food and drink.
eg technology’s specialists approach your project with a focus on usability, risk mitigation, system integration and manufacturability. They uncover and de-risk the most complex problems early on, creating a smoother process that minimises project overspend and delays.
We also have the capability to assemble complex product prototypes in a controlled manner before working with external manufacturing partners to scale up manufacture as needed. And our clients rely on our extensive industry relationships to help them engage with local and global manufacturing partners, assisting with tooling commissioning, quality assurance documentation and market launch.
Blending analytical insight with creativity
Our mechanical engineers balance analytical and simulation processes with rapid, creative design and practical prototyping and testing, which helps them:
Identify risk
early
and tackle the uncertain elements of a mechanical system first. We prove design principles efficiently through simulation, physical prototyping and testing and risk mitigation tools such as failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA).
Deliver performance
and durability
by drawing on our manufacturing and production knowledge, while using creativity and analytical insight.
Design for assembly
and manufacture
to ensure the appropriate testing is carried out at the necessary stages, enabling design iteration if required.
A standalone or integrated service
Many products need more than one discipline at some stage of their development. And because our mechanical engineers work in cross-disciplinary teams with our other specialists, they consider every aspect of the end-to-end process.
That’s why we deliver mechanical engineering as both a standalone service and integrated with our other areas of expertise: electronics engineering, software engineering, industrial design, and usability and human factors.
