01Companies & design offices
An engineer who has designed and managed, on your project.
For industrial SMEs, design offices, technical managers and project engineers: methods proven in nuclear and aerospace environments (definition files, technical reviews, quality follow-up), from scoping to agreed deliverables.
FIG. 02 — Study & drawings
-
P.01
Mechanical design & CAD
3D modelling, detailed drawings, definition files, on your software.
-
P.02
Special machines & welded assemblies
Frames, machine bases, conveyors, lifting: from concept to workshop drawings.
-
P.03
Integration in constrained environments
Sensors, wired equipment, mechanical and electrical interfaces.
-
P.04
On-site reverse engineering
Survey and 3D scan at your premises, CAD model and manufacturing drawings.
-
P.05
Costing & technical proposals
Specification analysis, feasibility, quotes.
-
P.06
Project management & manufacturing follow-up
Planning, subcontractors, workshop, testing, acceptance.
A few days or several months, at your premises or remotely on your tools: every assignment starts with a discussion to scope the need, deliverables and deadlines.
02Individuals & enthusiasts
The rigour of an industrial design office, at the service of your passion.
A part that can't be found, needs reproducing, improving or inventing: the approach is that of a design office, applied to cars, motorcycles, boats, aircraft or any other technical pursuit. You come with a mechanical problem and leave with a part designed for the way you use it.
-
01
Unavailable part
Discontinued, broken or overpriced: the part is measured, redrawn and remade, either identical or with its flaws corrected.
-
02
Classic cars & vintage motorcycles
A part not made for years: surveyed, redrawn and remanufactured to get the vehicle back on the road.
-
03
Boat parts
Fittings, brackets, deck hardware: parts designed for their exact location and to last in a marine environment.
-
04
Custom, improved or personalised part
Reinforce a weak area, lighten, adapt, personalise: a part designed for your machine and your use.
-
05
Reverse engineering
Starting from the original part — measurements, surveys, 3D scanning — a clean, reusable CAD model is rebuilt.
-
06
Drawings & strength calculation
A dimensioned drawing for the machinist or fabricator, and a check that the part will hold.
-
07
Prototype of an invention
An idea for an object or mechanism: designed in 3D, then turned into a working prototype.
To get started, you often only need:
- a few photos of the part or where it goes, from several angles;
- one or two reference dimensions (a ruler next to the part is enough);
- the vehicle or machine concerned, and the intended use.
03Method
From need to deliverable, with nothing left unclear.
Every step is shared with you. You know what is being done, why, and what comes next.
-
01
Discussion
We define the need: use, constraints, budget, timeline.
-
02
Analysis
Existing parts, drawings, specifications, measurements or 3D scanning.
-
03
Design
CAD modelling and technical choices, approved with you.
-
04
Approval
Drawings, 3D model and, if needed, a prototype.
-
05
Execution
Manufacturing followed through to the finished part, or handover of the deliverables.
04Projects
They didn't exist anywhere. Now they're on the road.
Adaptations and custom parts: each time, a part that didn't exist, designed and then made for a specific vehicle.

Motorcycle · Honda NX650 Dominator
Rear disc guard, Honda NX650 Dominator
A rear disc guard designed for the Dominator, 3D-printed in carbon-filled polyamide, and now available in the shop.

Car · rally
Spacers for ApRacing brake calipers, rally car
Fitting ApRacing calipers to a rally car required spacers that didn't exist: they were custom-designed, then machined.

Car · 1992 BMW
Adapter plate for pencil ignition coils, BMW M42
The owner of a 1992 BMW wanted to convert his M42 engine to pencil ignition coils. The part to mount them didn't exist: it was custom-designed, then laser-cut.
