Mechanical Design Services
Since the time of the invention of the wheel, man has been creating things with purpose and to meet specific needs. Almost all man-made objects that we see around us have an engineering design component. Take the simple example of a spoon: it can come in various sizes and materials, but its basic function remains unchanged. While their aesthetics may vary, all spoons have a common engineering design component that makes them useful for serving and eating food.
What is mechanical design?
Mechanical design is the process of designing a system or component, or the process of meeting a set of desired requirements to solve a mechanical problem. It is a decision-making process (often iterative) in which engineering science and mathematics are used to apply resources to meet a defined purpose.
Mechanical design involves the design of machines and systems of a mechanical nature, i.e. machines, products, structures, tools, and equipment. It uses mathematics, materials, and engineering mechanics.
Mechanical engineering design includes all of mechanical design, and additionally considers aspects of mechanical engineering such as thermal fluids and heat transfer science. Still, since engineering design has so much in common with the mechanical design process, any mechanical engineering design project begins with the same basic design steps: needs identification, defining the problem, and information gathering. These steps are usually carried out by a dedicated mechanical design services team.
Needs identification
The first step in the mechanical design process is to establish the final objective of the project. This objective usually arises from a client's general description of dissatisfaction with a current situation. Needs identification is often a very sensitive task, as it is sparked by the feeling that something is not right. For this reason, sensitive people are usually more effective at needs identification.
Defining the problem
Defining the problem is one of the most important stages of the design process. There is a recurrence between the definition of a problem and the recognition of a need. Often the actual problem is not what it seems to be at first.
Whereas a need may be general, a problem is specific. For example, if the need is for cleaner air, the problem may be to reduce the amount of smoke created by a power plant, or monitor the emissions of motor vehicles, or ensure that factory flue stacks are kept clean.
The definition of the problem should include all specifications about the thing that has to be designed. Each specification necessarily restricts the designer's freedom of choice.
Information gathering
Information gathering is a never-ending process for the best design engineers. Either no information can be easily found, or there is too much information, which needs to be evaluated and sifted through.
Because modern technology is so complex, it is now impossible for an individual to handle product design and development single-handedly. It takes a team of designers and specialised engineers to successfully manufacture a new product. To be successful, the design process must be executed carefully and according to plan. In addition, the engineering design process necessarily integrates many different aspects of design, and so most CAD / CAE software available today is highly complex.
