From the first sketch to production-ready — Steadfast Innovation provides chartered mechanical engineering for SMEs and product companies who need senior resource without the overhead. Concept, prototype, develop, manufacture.
Whether you need one piece of the puzzle or the whole thing — we can step in at any stage of product development and take it forward.
From requirements capture through to detailed 3D CAD and manufacturing drawings — structured, rigorous design process that gives you something buildable at the end.
Enquire →Finite element analysis and structural calculations to validate your design before you cut metal — reducing expensive surprises at the prototype stage.
Enquire →Managing and supporting the prototype build — helping you iterate quickly, learn from the hardware and de-risk the design before committing to tooling or production.
Enquire →Test protocols, physical and analytical validation, and documented reports — giving you and your customers confidence the product does what it says.
Enquire →Design for Manufacture reviews, tolerance analysis, supplier engagement support and production documentation — bridging the gap between prototype and volume manufacture.
Enquire →Engineering rigour applied to early-stage innovation — feasibility studies, technical risk assessment and R&D support to explore novel solutions before committing resource.
Enquire →We can join at any stage — or take the whole thing from start to finish. Here's how a full engagement typically flows.
Requirements captured, options explored, concept designed in 3D CAD.
FEA and calculations to check the design before it becomes hardware.
Build managed and supported — fast iteration, real-world learning.
Structured testing, documented results, design refined to pass.
DfM reviewed, suppliers engaged, documentation ready for production.
You know what the product needs to do — you need a chartered engineer to make sure it can actually be built, validated and manufactured without expensive surprises along the way.
You're running projects but don't have a senior chartered mechanical engineer on staff. You need someone who can step in, add rigour and deliver — without the overhead of a hire or large consultancy.
Hourly rate with a defined limit of liability — ideal for ongoing support, reviews or exploratory work where flexibility matters more than a fixed scope.
A fully scoped work package at an agreed fixed price, delivered via a formal proposal. Best for well-defined projects where cost certainty is the priority.
Ongoing engineering resource on a retained basis — discounted rate in exchange for committed time. Works well for SMEs who need regular senior input across multiple projects.
Tell us where you are in the project and what you need. We'll come back to you quickly with an honest view of how we can help and what it'll cost.
