Development and mechanical design for technical products and systems
NEERTEX develops and designs mechanical products, assemblies, fixtures, machines and technical systems for companies in a wide variety of industries – from the initial idea through CAD and FEM/FKM to production-ready documentation.
For the initial assessment, the task description, time frame and existing CAD data or drawings are sufficient.
Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks and Creo for parametric parts and assemblies.
Specialized modeling of unique freeform surfaces.
Documented static and cyclic strength analyses for fatigue strength.
From idea to robust technical solution
NEERTEX can handle the entire development process or selectively participate in individual work packages. Design, verification, manufacturing coordination, and data handover are all considered holistically.
From the initial requirement to the concept and finally to the release-ready technical data set.
Load cases, boundary conditions and assumptions are documented for the strength verification.
Machine safety according to DIN EN ISO 12100 is incorporated into technical decisions at an early stage.
Development and design with clear results
NEERTEX takes on complete development projects or individual work packages and integrates into your existing CAD, PDM and release processes if required.
Assemblies, individual parts and mechanisms
Parametric 3D models are created in Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, and Creo. Design space, interfaces, assembly, maintenance, and variants are considered from the outset.
Frames and welded structures
Machine frames and substructures are structured in the Autodesk Inventor frame configurator and prepared for drawing derivation and manufacturing.
Devices and equipment
Assembly, testing, welding and handling devices with a focus on safe operation, repeatability and economical manufacturing.
Design for manufacturability
Materials, tolerances, joining processes and machining access are coordinated with manufacturing, assembly and procurement.
Retrofit, reverse engineering and inventory data
3D scans and point clouds are converted into surfaces and parametric CAD models. Rhino3D adds special freeform surfaces.
Drawings, parts lists and transfer data
Manufacturing and assembly drawings, parts lists, exchange formats and revision levels create a common basis for purchasing, manufacturing and quality assurance.
From the initial idea to the finished construction
NEERTEX undertakes independent development and design projects as well as clearly defined packages within your existing process.
This way, companies without their own mechanical engineering department also receive a technical partner for mechanics, verification and manufacturing-ready documentation.
Development needs clear requirements and decisions.
- New products and functions must be technically specified and translated into robust geometry.
- Function, installation space, loads, manufacturing and safety all influence each other.
- Unclear requirements and interfaces create queries, loops, and data breaks.
Development and design from a single source
- NEERTEX accompanies the process from task clarification through concept and CAD to the release-ready data set.
- Defined review points and deliverables make decisions, deadlines and responsibilities transparent.
- Collaboration is possible remotely, at your location or at the manufacturer's, and can be integrated into existing processes.
When a development partner takes responsibility
NEERTEX can manage a project from task clarification to technical handover or specifically strengthen your internal team in individual phases.
01develop a technical product or system
02Capacity peaks in construction
03Frame or welded assembly becomes complex
04Strength verification according to FKM guideline
05Retrofitting and reverse engineering for existing plants
06The manufacturer needs unambiguous data.
Tools for development, design and verification
Crucial are structured models, controllable changes, documented evidence, and data that can be further processed internally.
Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks and Creo
Parametric parts, assemblies, and drawings are created in the agreed-upon CAD system. Profile and frame structures are built in the Inventor frame configurator as needed.
Rhino3D for special freeform surfaces
Freeform surfaces and complex transitions are modeled in Rhino3D and transferred to the further data flow via agreed interfaces.
Strength verification according to FKM guideline
Static and cyclic strength analyses document load cases, boundary conditions, assumptions, and results. Findings regarding stresses and fatigue strength are incorporated back into the design.
Connectable data structure
Naming, model logic, references, variants and exchange formats are adapted to the agreed process.
Defined deliverables instead of open CAD states
The scope of delivery, test points, and approval status are agreed upon before the start. This ensures that it is clear at handover which data has been checked and which points still remain open.
Structured 3D models
- Native CAD data and agreed exchange formats
- Traceable assembly, reference and variant structure
- Defined interfaces and change statuses
Drawings and parts lists
- Manufacturing and assembly drawings
- Tolerances, materials and test characteristics
- Bills of materials for purchasing and work preparation
FEM results according to FKM guidelines
- Documented load cases, boundary conditions and assumptions
- Static and cyclic strength verification for fatigue strength
- Verifiable documentation and technical recommendations for action
From request to releaseable data set
NEERTEX structures independent development projects and follows your existing processes for integrated work packages. Additional structure is only created where necessary for coordination, traceability, and approval.
Clarify goal and requirements
Define function, operating environment, installation space, loads, standards and deliverables.
Setting up interfaces
Connect CAD, PDM, review and communication channels to your team.
Construct
Develop models, assemblies, drawings and parts lists iteratively.
Testing strength and safety
Assess operational reliability, manufacturability and relevant safety requirements before release.
data transferred
Agreed release status with evidence, change status and open points handed over.
Design doesn't end at the CAD screen.
Function, verification, safety and manufacturing are considered together – not just at the point of handover.
What can be manufactured, assembled, and operated safely determines the project's success.
Therefore, in addition to geometry and function, accessibility, joining methods, testing characteristics and safe operation are also taken into account.
Machine safety according to DIN EN ISO 12100
A risk assessment that complies with standards helps to systematically consider hazards, protection concepts and safety-related functions already in the layout and detailed design.
Conformity assessment included
Risk assessment, relevant safety standards and technical documentation are aligned with design decisions early on.
Quality inspection directly at the manufacturer
Experience gained from quality inspections at international contract manufacturers sharpens the eye for tolerances, welding details, surfaces and unambiguous drawings.
