Good mechanical design is not just a good idea on paper - it is a solution that works on the factory floor, holds up under real loads and can be manufactured efficiently without unnecessary iterations. At Felthaus Engineering we build function, strength and manufacturability in from the very first draft.
With a background as a trained machinist and qualified engineer, we know both the theory and the practical reality of the workshop. This gives us a unique starting point for designing mechanical solutions that are robust, reproducible and cost-effective to manufacture.
Our approach
- Concept development and technical feasibility analysis
- Dimensioning and material selection based on load scenarios
- Early integration with CAD and FEM calculations
- Design with manufacturability in focus (DFM)
- Prototype follow-up and iterative optimisation
Digital accuracy - up to ±0.02 mm
With advanced 3D scanning, we build a precise digital foundation for both small components and large structures.
Documented strength
All critical components are documented with calculations covering safety, accuracy and relevant requirements - through both hand calculations and FEM analyses.
Same team all the way
You work directly with the same team through design, documentation and verification. This minimises knowledge loss between phases and ensures coherence from prototype to full-scale production.
