Mechanical Product Design
Mechanical Product Design
At JVA Engineering, we transform concepts into practical, manufacturable mechanical products. We define requirements, develop concepts, create detailed 3D models, and validate performance to ensure designs are safe, reliable, and compliant. As an engineering consultancy and fabrication firm, we balance performance, cost, standards, timelines, and real-world manufacturing constraints. The result is a complete design package ready for prototyping, certification and production.

Types Of Mechanical Design
-
3D CAD Modelling
JVA Engineering has qualified welding inspectors, welders and boiler makers which allows us to accurately 3D model designs for fabrication that reflect real-world fits, tolerances, and assembly requirements. These models serve as the single source of truth for prototyping, manufacturing, and design reviews.
-
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
We deliver detailed FEA simulation reports to support structural verification and certification. Our capabilities include stress analysis, topology optimisation, fatigue life prediction, and safety compliance verification for critical components such as vehicle parts and lifting equipment. Our reports demonstrate a level of detail and accuracy grounded in the extensive industry experience of our qualified engineering team.
-
Concept Development
Our qualified professional mechanical, mechatronic and civil design engineers generate and assess multiple design concepts, evaluating trade-offs in performance, cost, risk, and manufacturability. We work directly with the client to provide accurate and project specific solutions being detailed and as accurate as possible. This structured approach ensures the most effective design path is selected early.
-
Design for Manufacture (DFM)
With experience of over 35+ years in fabrication and manufacturing processes we optimise designs for real manufacturing processes including machining, fabrication, casting, moulding, and sheet metal work. This reduces production issues, improves quality, and shortens lead times.
-
Prototyping
Our engineers and fabricators are able to develop functional prototypes to validate fit, performance, and usability. With the use of plasma cutting, laser cutting, manual machining and 3D printing, our team can produce any form of early-stage concept. Early testing allows issues to be identified and resolved before production, reducing cost and risk.
-
Material Selection
Our team also specialises in material selection with years of experience in petrochemical and food industry we understand how to select materials based on mechanical performance, corrosion resistance, temperature limits, wear characteristics, availability, and cost. Proper material selection improves durability and compliance without unnecessary expense.
-
Reverse Engineering
Our specialised team of engineers accurately recreate existing components as detailed CAD models using measurement and scanning methods. This is ideal for legacy parts, replacements, upgrades, or when original documentation is unavailable.
-
Technical Documentation
We produce clear, manufacturing-ready documentation including detailed drawings, GD&T, bills of materials, specifications, and assembly instructions.
-
Retrofitting & Design Upgrades
As professional engineers and fabrication experts we are able to redesign and adapt existing equipment to meet new performance requirements, constraints, or compliance standards. This extends asset life and improves capability without full system replacement.
