Engineering review

An independent engineering opinion before you commit to production

A thorough review of the design: DFM, tolerances, materials, assembly, risks and costs, before the serious money goes out.

What you get A full readiness report DFM, tolerances, materials, assembly and risks

ISO 9001:2015
Independent of the production supplier
NDA signed on request

Even with a development team, a second pair of eyes pays

The review is built for cases like these:

The team knows the product so well that it no longer sees the problems in it.
The design was done by an outside supplier and there is no way to verify its quality.
You are facing a large investment in tooling or a production line.
A client or a regulator wants proof that the design was checked properly.

Exactly what you get

A full DFM check Whether the design suits the chosen production method, and where it fights against it.
Tolerance analysis Whether the requirements are realistic, and how much they are inflating production cost needlessly.
Material and assembly check How well the material matches the operating environment, and how the assembly order works in practice.
A risk and cost report What could fail, what it would cost, and the order in which to fix things.

How it works

1 Hand over the design package CAD files, drawings, requirements and standards.
2 The engineering review An engineer with production experience works through all of it systematically.
3 Report and a joint walkthrough We go over the findings together with your team.

A good fit if

You have a development team or a design supplier
You are facing a significant production investment
You need a professional second opinion
You work in medical or defence

Less of a fit if

You only need a quick check before tooling A production readiness score is cheaper and faster. Details →
The only question is how to manufacture it A manufacturing feasibility check is focused on that. Details →
You need ongoing engineering capacity A monthly engineering retainer suits better. Details →

Frequently asked questions

Will this offend our development team?

Quite the opposite. In most cases the team welcomes the report, because it gives professional backing to points they have already been trying to raise.

Do you work to standards?

We work to ISO 9001:2015. If there is a standard specific to your field, mention it when you get in touch and we will address it in the review.

Does the information stay confidential?

Yes. We work regularly with medical and defence companies and sign an NDA on request.

Do you also fix the findings?

We can, as a separate stage. The report stands on its own and can be implemented with anyone.
