Engineering Design
From concept to manufacturable product, supporting a niche industry innovator through design, prototyping, and production.
The challenge: a manufacturable design for a new-to-market tool
A customer we had worked with for several years devised a new product concept for their niche industry. They knew what the tool needed to do functionally and what it should look like dimensionally, but they lacked the expertise to design it from an engineering and manufacturing perspective. With the potential to bring a new-to-market product to their sector, a functioning and manufacturable design was the critical first step.
Collaborative design from brief to prototype
One of our qualified mechanical engineers met with the customer to understand the full remit of the application, then went on to design the first iteration of the new tool. Our mechanical engineer produced a full CAD design, engineered for manufacturability, not just form, then used industrial 3D printing to rapidly produce physical iterations for field validation.
From prototype to ongoing production
Field testing confirmed the design met functional requirements. FJH Group went on to manage subcontract manufacture of the product, and continues to supply it. The client has since returned to develop additional products, using the same end-to-end design, prototype and manufacture process.
We have full confidence that their team understands what our business does and the products we are developing. They work with us to design and engineer the most effective product, to our specifications.
