EngineeringPals® Consulting

Prototyping & Machine Design

From machines for mixing, nitrogen purging, and injecting chemicals for plastic production, to advanced automated lines for electrostatic powder deposition of carbon fibre tows, our team has designed countless prototypes and reliable bespoke machines.

We support startups, research groups, and manufacturers building machines, fixtures, rigs, and product prototypes. Our in-house skills span from materials and mechanical design, to thermal management and electrical control systems.

Typical engagement 1–10 weeks (scope dependent) Deliverables Weekly updates and detailed final report. Confidentiality NDA-friendly. Secure file handling. Commercial Projects from £3.5k (scope dependent)

WHY ENGINEERINGPALS

  • Accountable technical lead — A named technical lead holds responsibility for scope control, delivery planning, weekly status reporting, and final technical sign-off.
  • Multidisciplinary team — Mechanical design, electronics, embedded/software, sensing/instrumentation, and test automation capability to deliver a working prototype as a system.
  • Manufacturability-focused outputs — CAD, drawings, tolerances/fits, BOM, and assembly/commissioning notes suitable for supplier quotation, build, and inspection.
  • Assembly and verification considered in the design — Interfaces, access, reference features, and inspection approach are carefully considered in all designs.

How We Work

Our projects are delivered thoroughly and systematically. EngineeringPals' typical delivery process is provided below:

  • Intro call (free, 30 min): Discuss goals, time constraints, available data/materials, and IP/NDA agreements.
  • Scope confirmation email: Within 3 business days, you receive a 1–2 page Scope Confirmation document, detailing deliverables, inputs required, assumptions/exclusions, timeline, price, and change control.
  • Statement of work (SoW): Once you approve the Scope Confirmation, we issue the Statement of Work for signature and confirm the start date. IP and NDA agreements are also finalised at this stage.
  • Kickoff (60 min): Technical handover to share files, confirm methods/standards for implementation, and finalise delivery plan details not contained within the SoW.
  • Delivery (phased): Delivered in short phases with a weekly written update: completed, next steps, questions, and risks.
  • Review pack: Draft review pack: inputs log, assumptions register, analysis/test method, results summary, verification/correlation evidence (where applicable), and recommended next actions.
  • Final handover: Final report + deliverables bundle (analysis files, scripts, CAD, datasets—per scope), with release notes and a handover call to confirm how to reproduce/extend the work.
