MECHANICAL DESIGN SERVICES
Design for Manufacturing, Built In
A design that is hard to make is expensive for as long as you build it. We check tolerances, materials, finishes and assembly steps against real fabrication processes as we design, not after. Our long-standing supplier network lets us confirm cost and lead time early, and deliver prototypes and small production runs when you need parts in hand.
- Tolerances and fits sized to the manufacturing process
- Material and finish selection for cost, durability and compliance
- Part-count reduction and assembly sequence review
- Supplier feedback on cost and lead time before release
Our Process
How a Mechanical Design Project Works
1. Scope and NDA
A call to understand the problem, constraints and timeline. We sign your NDA or ours before you share details.
2. Concept and layout
Sketches, layouts and options, reviewed with your team before detailed work starts.
3. Detailed design and DFM
3D CAD, simulation where it pays, and manufacturability checks with suppliers.
4. Drawings, prototype, hand-off
Released models and drawings, prototypes if needed, and support through production.

What Engineering Managers Say
INDUSTRIES
Mechanical Design for Your Industry
Our engineers have expertise packaging electronics into many different types of substrates and enclosures. We understand how to design for electromagnetic shielding, radio frequency isolation, fluid ingress protection, thermal cooling, product vibration and a host of other requirements to the appropriate standards. Our mechanical engineers work closely with electrical engineers and designers to capture mechanical outlines and components for PCB layout and cabling harnesses. We also understand the need to be cost effective and on schedule in fast paced and highly competitive electronic industries.
We have the necessary skills to design, engineer and validate your next custom machinery project. We have years of mechanical engineering experience including designing and commissioning machinery for process-based manufacturing, technology research, and product development testing. Our deep supplier network and trusted engineering partners allow us to deliver reliable equipment with exceptional speed and economy so your custom solution can start working for your business fast. We are also happy to assist your project engineering team with independent analysis and reporting for industry compliance to technical standards and safety.
We design the mechanical side of medical devices: enclosures, mechanisms, thermal management and working prototypes for products that integrate electronics. Our engineers work with your electrical and clinical teams to take a device from concept through design, simulation, documentation and prototype.
At CAElliott, we provide mechanical engineering and design solutions tailored to the demands of the transportation industry. With expertise in computational fluid dynamics, structural analysis, thermal analysis, and mechanism dynamics, our engineers ensure that every project is optimized for performance, efficiency, and safety.
