Our 4 - Step Engineering Design Processour process

Mterqubee company specializes in providing practical, commercial, and innovative engineering designs for manufacturing. With expertise in simplifying complex solutions, the key to success lies in a collaborative approach, working closely with clients through each stage of a well-established design process. A tailored step-by-step proposal is developed after thoroughly understanding the project requirements, offering support for either a single phase or the entire project duration. The flexibility of the design process allows adaptation to the specific needs and product types of each project.

Define / Exploration

On the right path to achieve success.

The initial phase of a project is crucial, as time invested in defining needs, requirements, and objectives sets the foundation for success. Expertise and knowledge are applied to help outline a strategy to meet these goals. Recognizing the significance of thorough project definition and planning, a commitment is made to apply passion and experience to ensure alignment with the path to success.

Preliminary research is conducted to grasp the market landscape, evaluate potential competitors, explore intellectual property opportunities, and pinpoint technologies or materials pertinent to the project. A variety of design concepts are then developed through sketches, early 3D CAD, and models. The optimal concept is selected based on factors like budget constraints, market research, and feedback from testing, ensuring that the project moves forward with the most viable design.

Design / Development

Researching and generating concepts and designs

The project plan and specifications serve as a foundation for applying specialized knowledge and passion to transform challenges into innovative and practical solutions. Through collaborative "team design sessions," concepts and preliminary designs are generated, which are then rigorously evaluated to enhance their development, ensuring they meet cost-effectiveness and manufacturability criteria.

Progressing from the most promising concepts, the selected designs are further refined using 3D CAD, incorporating mechanical and electrical engineering principles, ergonomics, material specifications, and compliance with relevant standards and regulations. This phase also includes prototyping, which is crucial for testing, evaluating, and validating the design against mechanical performance and user feedback. It provides insights into production costs, intellectual property opportunities, certification requirements, and contributes to a more defined business model. Additionally, branding, product information, and packaging are integrated at this stage, rounding out the development process.

Deliver / Refinement

Finalising the detailed design.

This next stage is all down to us, with the design agreed and signed-off we’ll start finalising the detailed design such us fasteners, finishes, quality assurance and checking to bring everything together, ready for delivering it to you.

We know every project is different and so are its requirements, the final outputs could be anything from simple 3D models to complete components or fully installed machines.

Design refinement is a critical phase in product development, serving as the bridge between conceptual design and market launch. It involves meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that the product not only meets design and performance criteria but also adheres to manufacturing, cost, and regulatory standards. This stage finalizes all aspects of the product, from its engineering specifications to its branding and packaging, setting the stage for a successful production run and market introduction.

Refine / Finalisation

Continuously develop and improve.

Embracing continuous development not only reflects a commitment to progress but also ensures that projects are executed with the highest standards of quality. Regular project reviews are instrumental in this process, offering a platform for reflection and learning. They enable teams to celebrate successes, identify best practices, and pinpoint areas for enhancement. This iterative process of review and improvement is essential for delivering exceptional service to clients. After validation testing, a thorough review of all documentation with the manufacturer solidifies the project's integrity. Addressing Quality Control Procedures and confirming production expectations and timelines are final steps that underscore the meticulous attention to detail and dedication to excellence that clients expect and deserve. This comprehensive approach to project management fosters a culture of excellence and client satisfaction.
