Typical project triggers
When clients bring us in
Machinery projects reach Fabrixon at different stages. These are the four situations that most often start the conversation.
A concept needs engineering development
A sketch or early CAD model needs its mechanisms, structure, interfaces, drawings, BOMs, validation needs and handover requirements defined before quotation or fabrication.
Design assumptions need to be validated
Loads, deflection, fatigue risk, frame stiffness, thermal behaviour, flow behaviour or access requirements need review before material is ordered or fabrication begins.
Internal engineering capacity is stretched
New equipment, machine variants, drawing updates, validation studies and supplier requests are moving faster than the internal team can support.
Documentation needs control before release
Drawings, supplier information, guarding interfaces, validation evidence and project-specific documentation need to be aligned before the design is issued.
Engineering approach
How we engineer the machine
The engineering lifecycle behind a machinery package, from defining the requirement through validated design and controlled documentation.
Requirements and concept
We capture the duty, loads, interfaces, operating conditions, constraints and applicable standards, then develop the mechanism and concept around those requirements.
Mechanical design development
CAD assemblies, mechanisms, frame design, access requirements, interfaces and manufacturing details are developed around the agreed engineering basis.
FEA and CFD validation
Where required, analysis reviews load paths, stiffness, deflection, fatigue risk, thermal behaviour or flow behaviour, with assumptions and interpretation documented.
Manufacturability and DFM
The design is reviewed for fabrication method, assembly sequence, access, supplier input, tolerances and cost drivers before late-stage changes become expensive.
Documentation release and supplier support
Drawings, BOMs, validation reports and supporting documentation are issued under revision control, with agreed support for supplier queries and design updates.

LinkedInHow engagements work
From requirement to controlled handover
A clear engagement path keeps the technical and commercial basis defined without turning the service page into a process manual.
Share the requirement
Share the machine requirement, design problem, validation need, available information and expected outcome so we can understand the engineering scope.
Scope the engineering basis
Agree the inputs, assumptions, deliverables, review points, timing and delivery model before detailed engineering work begins.
Design, analyse or review
Develop, analyse or review the agreed scope through defined technical checkpoints, raising issues and decisions as the work progresses.
Controlled handover
Issue models, drawings, reports and agreed records under revision control, with clarification and follow-on support provided as scoped.
Two ways to engage: defined engineering projects for a clear scope and endpoint, or dedicated engineering capacity for recurring workload and changing priorities.
Typical deliverables
A controlled engineering package
Deliverables are agreed around the scope and manufacturing route, so the information needed for review, procurement and supplier handover is developed as part of the engineering work.
CAD · drawings · validation evidence · BOMs · DFM notes · handover information
Engineering drawings
GD&T, assembly, detail and weldment drawings issued as controlled packages for internal and supplier review.
CAD files
Native CAD files where agreed, with STEP, IGES, DXF and DWG exports for downstream use.
Validation reports
FEA or CFD reports documenting the model, assumptions, key results, interpretation and recommendations where scoped.
BOMs and procurement data
Structured BOMs, material specifications, purchased-part references and supplier information aligned with the released design.
Interface and handover notes
Mechanical interface notes, revision records, supplier comments, assumptions and project-specific handover information where required.
DFM and design review notes
Manufacturability, tolerance, assembly and cost-driver observations with practical redesign recommendations where review is included.
Questions technical buyers ask
Frequently asked questions
What does industrial machinery design engineering include?+
Industrial machinery design engineering develops a machine from a concept, requirement, existing CAD model or production problem into a controlled mechanical engineering package. Scope may include machine architecture, mechanisms, frames, fixtures, CAD assemblies, drawings, BOMs, validation where required, DFM review and supplier handover.
Can you work from a concept, sketch, existing CAD model or existing machine?+
Yes. Fabrixon can begin from a written brief, sketch, rough CAD model, legacy drawing, supplier information, site photographs, an existing machine or a production issue. The first step is to confirm the duty, loads, interfaces, constraints, standards, available inputs and required deliverables.
Can you redesign or improve an existing machine?+
Yes. We support redesign of machines, components, frames, weldments, mechanisms, access features and documentation. The work may include DFM changes, drawing updates, supplier feedback, and FEA or CFD where structural, thermal or flow performance needs to be checked.
Do you provide FEA and CFD validation for machinery designs?+
Yes. FEA can assess load paths, stiffness, deflection, fatigue risk, frames, brackets and weldments. CFD can assess airflow, thermal behaviour, pressure drop and flow distribution. Reports document the model, assumptions, boundary conditions, key results, interpretation and recommendations.
Do you provide GD&T drawings, BOMs and supplier handover documentation?+
Yes. Deliverables can include GD&T drawings, assembly and weldment drawings, structured BOMs, material notes, revision-controlled files, CAD exports, supplier information and project-specific handover notes. The level of detail is agreed around the manufacturing route and supplier requirements.
How do you coordinate with electrical, controls, fabrication and commissioning teams?+
Fabrixon owns the agreed mechanical scope. Electrical, controls, fabrication, certification and commissioning remain client or specialist led. We coordinate mechanical interfaces, access, mounting provisions, layouts, routing allowances and documentation so the connected disciplines remain aligned.
How long does an industrial machinery design project take and how is it priced?+
Timeline and pricing depend on design maturity, complexity, deliverables, analysis needs, review cycles and supplier involvement. Small redesign or drawing scopes may take days; larger machinery programmes may take several weeks or longer. The proposal confirms the delivery model, assumptions, exclusions, schedule and price before work begins.
