When mechanics, motion, electronics, and control meet, the highest risk is often in the interfaces. A plastic enclosure may look simple, but it has to hold tight tolerances, protect electronics from heat and the environment, and still be manufacturable at volume. Motion and actuation add more complexity through loads, wear, and long-term reliability.

Many teams have strong capabilities in one discipline, but projects slow down when coordination across disciplines is fragmented. In peak periods, the right specialists are also not always available in-house. The result is late design changes, unexpected tolerance issues, or designs that work in prototypes but become costly in production.

Plastics and Mechatronic Design helps you develop integrated, production-ready solutions under one technical lead. We design plastic parts and mechatronic systems as one coherent product, so mechanics, electronics, and motion are developed together from the start. This improves fit, function, thermal behavior, and manufacturability while reducing rework caused by hidden interface gaps.

Our Plastics and Mechatronic Design services include:

• Plastics design of parts, housings, and enclosures with additive and conventional manufacturing constraints in mind.
• Mechatronics integration for electro-mechanical systems where mechanics, electronics, and control must align.
• Motion systems for lifting, handling, and animatronics, including bearings, motors, belt connections, and load paths.
• Electrical design support, including PCB design and automation design in close interplay with the mechanical design.
• Thermal management and environmental protection of electronics, including airflow, sealing concepts, and heat paths.
• Structural, drop, and impact analysis of plastic components to verify robustness and reduce failure risk.
• Tolerance chain analysis and DfM/DfA to improve assembly yield, serviceability, and production readiness.
• Tool-supported development using SolidWorks, Inventor and Vault, ANSYS Mechanical, ANSYS Icepak, Maxwell, and multibody dynamics.

By bringing cross-disciplinary development into one integrated flow, you gain fewer interface gaps between mechanics, electronics, and motion. You get more reliable motion systems with higher uptime and availability. And you move forward with designs that are ready for production – with extra specialist capacity when you need it.

With an integrated mechatronic and plastics design approach in place, development can progress with fewer surprises and faster decisions. Together, we turn complex electro-mechanical challenges into robust products built for real industrial environments.
