Engineering Design

Mechanical design with manufacturing baked in from day one. Solid + surface modeling, FEA, and release-to-production drawing packages — produced by the same engineers who source the tooling and supervise the build.

Capabilities
  • Solid + surface modeling
  • Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
  • Tolerance stack analysis
  • Release-to-production drawing packages
  • Manufacturability reviews
  • Reverse engineering
Manufacturing focus
  • Production drawings
  • Tooling support
  • Design validation

  • PPAP support

Design that anticipates the factory. Every tolerance, surface, and dimension is decided with manufacturing in mind — before production begins.

Engineering process

Engineering Design in 3 phases

A structured engineering workflow — same team across every phase, no handoffs.

  1. 1

    Discovery & constraints

    Pull the brief apart — performance targets, manufacturing constraints, cost ceiling, and packaging assumptions stated up front.

  2. 2

    Modeling & analysis

    Solid and surface modeling with FEA validation, tolerance stack-ups, and DfM review baked into every revision.

  3. 3

    Release-ready drawings

    Drawing packages prepared to vendor standards — fully toleranced, materially specified, ready to quote and tool.

Featured case study

Lucid Wedge

A full mechanical design taken from hand sketch through load analysis, surface modeling, and production-ready tooling.

Lucid Wedge
Challenge
Translate a hand sketch into a production-ready geometry that survives real loads, tolerances, and tooling realities — without handoffs between design and manufacturing.
Engineering solution
Full in-house mechanical design: hand-sketch capture, solid + surface modeling, finite element analysis, released drawing package, then production tooling. M² owned the chain from concept through tooling, so DfM was baked into every iteration.
Manufacturing outcome
Drawing-to-part with no handoffs. Production tooling delivered ready to run — the signature program showing how M² engineers complete programs end-to-end.

Why M² engineering

Why companies trust M² Engineering

  • Engineers, not modelers

    Two veteran mechanical engineers — owner-operators. No designer-to-PM-to-vendor handoff.

  • DfM from line one

    Tooling, draft, gating, and undercuts thought through before the first surface is modeled.

  • One throat to choke

    Same engineers carry the program through tooling, first articles, and production sign-off.

  • Direct access

    Communicate directly with experienced engineers throughout the project.

  • 3Decades of combined experience
  • $120MManufacturing company built
  • 25+Years engineering leadership
  • 100%Direct founder access
