 We offer customized and complete design services by carefully planning and monitoring As a support to our designs we are capable to employ and
project stages and engineer’s workload to meet specifications and to achieve the highest manufacture parts for prototyping, functional testing, one-off
level of detail in the allocated timeframe. Our focus is on the final product and we believe projects up to small production volumes. Motorcycle styling bucks
® in simple and robust designs that will ensure quality, reduce costs and increase productivity. and initial testing bikes, assembly work stations and equipment,
jigs and fixtures are a few examples of projects that we can deliver
as part of the complete engineering services we offer,
Our main activity is in Automotive and Motorcycle Industry and from design to manufacture.
we have experience in the following engineering stages:

Benchmark evaluation, explore ideas and investigate engineering feasibility for the preferred
Concept solution, patent search, general 3D CAD layout and provisional packaging, first mock-up using
prototype parts as a functional test, identify areas that need changes and further investigation.

Styling For projects that require styling input engineering schemes will progress in parallel with
support styling sketches and clay models liaising with the styling house up to the detailing stage.

Timing plan and budget control, component specification, surfacing and 3D CAD modelling,
Scheming calculations, FEA work, clearance checks, tolerance stacks, scheme/assembly drawings to
highlight parts interaction.

Detailing Design reviews for sign-off, drawings release.

Testing First prototypes are made and tested using as many off tool parts as possible. Functionality
support and durability is monitored and evaluated to meet specifications.

Trial Build & We like to follow our designs into production stage and we give support for any
Production requirements arising.
