Services

Agricultural engineering services

Support at a single stage, or all the way from a rough brief to a machine coming off the line.

What we do

Six areas of work. Most projects draw on two or three of them.

New machinery development

Taking an idea — sometimes a sketch, sometimes a competitor machine and a list of grievances — through to something your shop can build.

  • Requirements capture and concept development
  • 3D CAD parts, weldments and assemblies
  • Detail drawings, weld symbols and BOMs
  • Design reviews and prototype build support
  • Laser and profile-cut DXF preparation

Machine improvement & optimisation

For equipment already in production that is costing too much to build, coming back under warranty, or simply showing its age.

  • Reliability and failure-point review
  • Design for manufacture and assembly
  • Cost and part-count reduction
  • Serviceability and access improvements
  • Bringing legacy drawings up to date

Flexible design capacity

Additional experienced design resource without the cost, delay and risk of permanent recruitment.

  • Short and medium-term design support
  • Overflow work during busy periods
  • Jigs, fixtures and production tooling
  • Production documentation catch-up
  • Cover for holidays and vacancies

Reverse engineering

Turning physical parts into accurate, editable CAD — useful for obsolete components, worn patterns and machines that were never properly drawn.

  • Measured survey of existing components
  • 3D scan data to parametric SolidWorks models
  • Drawings created for parts that never had any
  • Obsolete part recreation for re-manufacture

Welding & fabrication design

Frames, chassis, hoppers, guards and structures detailed the way a fabrication shop actually wants to receive them.

  • Weldment design and weld detailing
  • Cut lists and flat patterns
  • Profile-cut and folded part preparation
  • Assembly and welding fixture design

3D printing & prototyping

Physical parts in hand early, so fit and ergonomics get checked before anything expensive is committed to.

  • Fit and clearance check models
  • Functional prototype components
  • Low-volume guards, covers and brackets
  • Concept models for design reviews
How we are engaged

Whatever suits the piece of work

Fixed-price package

Best where the scope is well understood — a defined drawing package or a specific component redesign.

Day rate

Suits exploratory or evolving work, and blocks of overflow capacity booked in advance.

Retained capacity

A set number of days each month for manufacturers who need predictable design support.
