Detail in Every Design

Our detailed design process is thorough and meticulous, ensuring every aspect of the product is planned for performance and manufacturability. We consider all factors, including ergonomics, materials, cost implications, and environmental impact.

Design Validation

We translate early design concepts into viable, manufacturable solutions. Our design engineers ensure the product is structurally sound, ergonomically viable, and technically feasible.

Performance & Reliability

It is important to validate how a product will perform under real-world conditions, reducing the risk of failure. Our engineers can conduct stress, thermal and fatigue analysis (e.g. FEA simulations), and test prototypes for functionality, durability, and safety.

Design for Manufacturing (DFM)

Bridging the gap between design and production by optimising for cost-effective, scalable manufacturing.

Iterative Prototyping and Testing

We prioritise early prototyping to quickly validate ideas and uncover opportunities for improvement. This stage is where our engineers dive in, reviewing functionality, refining details, and evolving the design into its most effective, high-performing version.

What our clients say

"We've worked together with 4D Products on a number of projects and every time they've exceeded our expectations of what we'd imagined.

Our industry moves quickly, so having a design partner like 4D who knows the market is huge. As suchm the X17 machine has enjoyed strong sales globally. And the powerful DCX and featherlight Air versions followed soon after."

Technical expertise from decades of experience

Our engineers utilise state-of-the-art CAD tools and simulation software to ensure precision and efficiency, helping you reduce time to market and achieve optimal product functionality.

Engineering for Performance
We focus on the core mechanical aspects that make your product work effectively. From optimising component interactions to ensuring smooth movement and operation, our mechanical engineering team thinks through every detail.

Smart analysis of stress points, material behaviour and mechanical loads creates robust, reliable solutions that perform consistently in real-world conditions.
Performance Testing
Performance testing at 4D Products is rigorous and replicates real-world usage conditions to validate the design and functionality of your products.

We can conduct tests including durability, stress, and operational testing, to ensure that every product meets the highest standards of quality and performance before hitting the market.
Reverse Engineering
Our reverse engineering services are ideal for clients looking to innovate based on existing successful products. We analyse the structure, function, and systems of existing products to identify opportunities for refinement and enhancement.

This process can provide cost saving and reduce time to market.

Engineering the future, one product at a time

Mechanical engineering shapes the products we use every day, blending innovation with practicality to create solutions that stand the test of time.

Do mechanical engineers do product design?

Yes, they do! Mechanical engineers play a crucial role in product design. They bring technical expertise to the table, ensuring that products are not only functional but also manufacturable.

By focusing on the mechanics, they help turn concepts into tangible products that work seamlessly in the real world.

What is the difference between mechanical engineering and product design engineering?

Mechanical engineering focuses on the technical and structural aspects of a product, like how it moves or withstands forces. Product design engineering, on the other hand, combines this technical know-how with aesthetics and user experience. 

It’s about creating products that are not only functional but also appealing and user-friendly.

What is an example of a mechanical product design?

Think of something like a high-performance bicycle. Mechanical engineers design the frame to be lightweight yet strong, ensuring it can withstand various stresses while providing a smooth ride.

They also work on the gears and braking systems, making sure everything operates efficiently and safely.

How do mechanical engineers contribute to the product development process?

Mechanical engineers are involved from the very start, helping to shape the initial concept with their technical insights. They work on prototyping, testing, and refining designs to ensure everything functions as intended. 

Their expertise is vital in making sure the final product is reliable, efficient, and ready for production.
