Mechanical Design
Mechanical and industrial design have been at the heart of Wideblue since the company was founded as a spin-out from Polaroid Europe.
Mechanical design isn’t just about the box. It encompasses everything from the way the user interacts with the product, the internal architecture for hi-precision components, to ensuring efficient, repeatable assembly on the production line. Every detail is engineered with purpose.
Even seemingly simple sub-assemblies are often comprised of several detailed components. Each must be carefully designed and manufactured using the right materials and processes to achieve the required performance, reliability, and longevity. Our team excels at managing this complexity, translating ambitious concepts into robust mechanical solutions.
Our designs are supported by rigorous engineering analysis. We employ advanced calculations and simulation techniques, including computational stress analysis (FEA) and computational fluid / thermal simulations (CFD). This allows us to validate performance, reduce risk, and optimise designs early in the development cycle.
Our mechanical engineering expertise includes:
- Advanced 3D CAD modeling
- Prototype method selection and rapid tooling
- Additive manufacturing and 3D printing
- Opto-mechanical design
- Engineering simulation and analysis (FEA & CFD)
- Manufacturing process selection
- Precision mechanism design
- Design for Assembly (DFA)
- Design for Manufacture (DFM)
By combining innovation, analytical rigour, and real-world manufacturing knowledge, we deliver mechanical designs that are not only technically excellent, but ready to succeed in production and in the market.
