Being a product development firm offering world-class mechanical design services, MAKO Design + Invent has seen many innovative and market-disrupting product ideas come from our home inventors. Many clients will provide us with some form of design files, including CAD files, but the vast majority are not designed for manufacturing and lack fundamental elements of mechanical design.
Why Do I Need Mechanical Design Services?
In short, mechanical design services provide the necessary components and framework to achieve the product’s intended functions. Many industrial design firms can design the exterior of the product with impressive 3D renderings, but, although they can look great, the functional requirements are often not accounted for. In addition, manufacturers will often reject these files, which can create costly redesigns and engineering down the road. All of this can be minimized from the start by utilizing a professional design and engaging their mechanical design services.

Combining Mechanical Design with Industrial Design
Durability is defined by different materials, fasteners, assembly components, etc. Function is achieved through gears, circuit boards, and other mechanisms at play within the invention. An experienced mechanical designer can identify points of breakage in an industrial design and plan out the necessary internal workings to ensure the product will last while effectively performing its functions. Thus, it is more effective to combine mechanical and industrial design simultaneously to develop an aesthetic, durable and functioning prototype.
Take that thought a step further- does your invention require electrical components? Consider mechanical design services that incorporate industrial, electrical, mechanical, and prototyping using a streamlined and efficient process.
The MakerArm was mechanically designed by MAKO Design + Invent. Without mechanical design, the MakerArm would not be able to perform critical tasks such as precision cutting, CNC milling and 3D printing.
