7 Crucial steps in mechanical design and prototyping

#1 Specification

We create the specification prepared by our engineer or designer that outlines the requirements, parameters and details for how you should make a part.

It contains all the information and knowledge necessary to communicate what a product should be and how it should work, and it can also include marketing requirements. In other words, it’s the customer’s perspective of what the product should be. That’s why we always make sure that we follow your specifications when designing your product.

#2 Concept design

In the second stage of the mechanical design process, we create a concept for you and present it to you so that you can give us feedback on what works for your needs and what doesn’t.

For example, when entering the water, boats will usually have a V-shaped hull to glide through smoothly. This hull is designed with Solid Edge software, used by aerospace and mechanical engineering design industries. Afterwards, the model will be created using a laser router which burns into the foam for ease of injection into plastic.

#3 Electronics integration

Integrating the electronics and mechanical design into the original design from the outset is one of the ways we ensure the project is successful. Once a concept has been developed, the engineers will prepare an Electronic Specification Document that details the product’s functionality, motherboard components, PCB dimensions, and layout inside the product case.

After the electronic hardware design has been completed, we work with our developers to determine whether the cost of mass production is appropriate. From simple gadgets to complex machines and systems that consist of many different components, we can design electronic prototype products of any complexity.

#4 3D Design

We produce designs based on the latest technological advances, such as multilayered PCBs and high-speed designs. Starting from initial hardware design through prototyping to production, our capabilities encompass the entire design flow. Based on specific characteristics, we design customised board-level hardware solutions.

CNC milling machines are computerised tools to create three-dimensional shapes from different metals and materials. Using computer-aided design software, we can transfer their concept designs to the CNC milling machine, and the end product can then be milled into a physical object.

#5 Mock-up prototype (3D prints)

A mock-up prototype is a 3D printed model (SLS, SLA, FDM) that you can use to understand the look, feel and size before it’s produced. 3D printing is becoming a popular method of prototyping machines, parts and devices, as it’s low cost and allows for the design of complex organic parts.

The ability to design complex organic shapes can be attributed to today’s Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. When making 3D printed models for prototyping, there are three development technologies to choose from, Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Stereolithography Apparatus (SLA) and Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM).

#6 Testing and improvements

After the design process is complete, engineers may find that the individual components don’t fit together perfectly to meet their design specifications.

The engineers will create a new prototype using 3D computer modelling and then test and improve the design to adjust for these changes.

#7 Production

We can perform and supervise the small series production process for your presentations, tests or limited editions. Once the PCB layout is optimized and verified for correct operation, Intechhouse can provide support in supervising the production process with the manufacturer of your choice. Also, if you need mass production for your project with an extensive amount of products, we are happy to advise on proven development subcontractors.

Moreover, you will receive an originally designed product with modern materials to make your business great.

Our step-by-step mechanical design process?

Our systematic approach ensures the efficient and successful development of mechanical components and systems. Here’s an overview of our typical mechanical design process:

Initial consultation and conceptualization

Discovery meeting: We begin with a consultation to understand your project requirements, goals, and objectives. We encourage open communication to gather as much information as possible.

Conceptualization: In this phase, we work closely with you to develop a clear understanding of your concept. We may create rough sketches, conduct brainstorming sessions, and explore design ideas to align with your vision.

Feasibility assessment

Feasibility study: We conduct a feasibility study to assess the technical, economic, and timeline feasibility of the project. This involves evaluating factors such as materials, technology, and potential challenges.

Detailed design and engineering

Detailed design: Once the concept is refined and approved, we move on to detailed design. This phase involves creating comprehensive engineering drawings, 3D models, and specifications that provide a clear roadmap for the project.

Material selection: We carefully select materials based on project requirements, considering factors like strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness.

Finalization and documentation

Final design: Once the design is finalized and validated, we create detailed documentation, including engineering drawings, specifications, and assembly instructions.

Design refinement

Iterative process: If any issues or improvements are identified during testing, we iterate on the design to address them. This process continues until the design meets the desired performance standards.

Prototyping and testing

Prototype development: We create physical prototypes or models of the designed components or systems to validate functionality and design integrity.

Testing and validation: Prototypes are rigorously tested to ensure they meet the specified criteria. This may involve performance testing, stress testing, and simulation analysis.

Manufacturing and production support

Manufacturability sssessment: We collaborate with manufacturing partners to ensure that the design can be manufactured efficiently and cost-effectively.

Production support: During the production phase, we provide support to address any manufacturing issues and ensure that the final products align with the approved design.

Quality assurance and testing

Quality control: We implement rigorous quality control measures to verify that the manufactured products meet the required quality standards.

Testing and validation: Final products undergo comprehensive testing and validation to ensure they perform as intended.

Delivery and implementation

Delivery: We deliver the final products to your location or designated recipients, ensuring a smooth transition from design to implementation.

Post implementation support
