Design the product. Design the facility that builds it.

Great manufacturing starts on the drawing board. We support design of the product you want to manufacture, and the factory or data center layout around it — so what you build can actually be produced, tested and maintained.

Two tracks

Product design and facility design, together.

Designing both at once avoids expensive rework: the product is shaped by how it will be made, and the factory by what it will make.

Product design & engineering

For the product being manufactured.

  • Requirements, concept and architecture
  • 3D CAD, simulation and tolerance analysis
  • Design for manufacturing and assembly (DFM / DFA)
  • Component selection and bill of materials
  • Prototype build and test planning
  • Drawings, specifications and work instructions

Facility design

For the factory or data center around it.

  • Factory layout, process and material flow
  • Utilities, power and compressed-air planning
  • Data center power, cooling and rack design
  • Tier and redundancy targets
  • Equipment lists, bill of materials and cost planning
  • Software and data architecture for operations

From idea to production

How design work flows into production.

  1. STEP 01

    Define

    Requirements, use case, constraints and success criteria.

  2. STEP 02

    Design

    Concept, CAD and simulation, with DFM reviewed early.

  3. STEP 03

    Prototype

    First units built and assessed, ahead of tooling decisions.

  4. STEP 04

    Test & refine

    Test, measure and iterate until the design is ready.

  5. STEP 05

    Plan production

    Production equipment, line layout and bill of materials.

  6. STEP 06

    Build & hand over

    Production facility built and equipped through our turnkey service.

Deliverables

What you receive.

Design work produces documents and models your team, suppliers and regulators can use.

  • CAD models, drawings and specifications
  • Bill of materials with sourcing options
  • Prototype units and test results
  • Factory or data center layout plans and equipment lists
  • Work instructions and quality checkpoints
  • A costed route to production
Good to know

Design questions.

Can you design a product from scratch?

Yes. We can take a concept through requirements, CAD, prototyping and testing, or review and improve a design you already have for manufacturability.

Do you design the factory as well as the product?

Yes. Designing both together means the production line is shaped around the product and the product around the production line.

Who owns the design?

Intellectual property terms are agreed in writing at the start of every engagement.

Can you build the prototype too?

Yes. Our prototype and assembly service builds first units, and we can scale that into a production facility.

Have a product or facility to design?

Tell us what you want to build. We will outline the design route, prototypes and path to production.
