DartUp Design Services offers mechanical engineering design services tailored to your individual requirements. Whether you need start-to-finish product design development, or task-oriented mechanical engineering design solutions, our highly experienced mechanical engineers can help you.
Mechanical Engineering Design Services include:
- Creating static or dynamic CAD designs, part and assembly models, and engineering or manufacturing drawings using software such as Solidworks and Pro-E.
- Setting dimensions and tolerances applicable to the project to ensure accurate tooling and machining.
- Demonstrating how individual components fit together, how moving parts will perform, including ranges of maneuverability.
- Reverse engineering products or prototypes to provide complete, up-to-date documentation.
- Advising on materials most suitable for the product and most efficient for the manufacturability of that product (e.g. metals, ceramics, polymers, composites).
- Identifying mechanical or thermal stress and wear locations, accounting for strain and degradation based on materials and processes used, and reinforcing those areas appropriately.
- Consulting on manufacturing processes to enable and improve the manufacturability of the product (machining, casting, molds, bending, etching, printing, cleaning, fastening, finishing, forging, extrusions, drawing, press & sintering, automation, etc).
Team Extension
At DartUp, we know you are racing full-speed toward that First-Article Inspection. We offer a range of services to help you get there. From entrepreneurs to seasoned engineers, start-ups to established companies, nobody succeeds alone. DartUp offers the services you need, from start-to-finish product development by professional mechanical engineers and designers, to temporarily teaming with your in-house staff for more task-specific jobs.
By adding DartUp to your design team, you not only get knowledgeable and experienced engineering-minded designers, you also get all the 3D CAD services we have to offer.
Let’s say your specialty is designing and manufacturing PCBs, but you need someone to design a console to encase those electronics, mount displays and connections. DartUp will work with you on a continual basis, from the original concept to the finished product. We work closely with our clients to understand their needs and anticipate their concerns. We’ll help you note potential problems in the design to save you time and money in the long run.
As part of your team, DartUp will conform to your formatting, titling, and document control standards.
Other examples of team extension services include: designing an individual component, an entire assembly, or a portion of a large or complex product; designing for component inclusion from a company’s CAD library; 3D component and product modeling.

Short-term Solutions
It’s a month before the deadline and you have two months worth of work. You need a cost-effective way to quickly eliminate the tasks on your project timeline that you needed done yesterday. Our engineers and designers have the diverse skill sets you need to handle all your extra tasks. In the field of 3D CAD design, there isn’t anything our professionals designers can’t do. Contact us for services and we will offer you solutions that meet your time and budget requirements.
Examples of typical short-term contract services include: 2D to 3D CAD conversions (e.g. AutoCAD to Solidworks) and inter-software conversions (e.g. Pro-E to Solidworks and vice versa); 3D product models; reverse engineering; rapid prototyping using our in-house 3D printer.
The benefits of Mechanical Engineering Design from DartUp Design Services
At DartUp, we have experienced mechanical engineers overseeing the design of your products. The experience of an engineer in design is critical to overcome obstacles, reduce production costs, and improve functionality. Our experienced mechanical engineers offer insight about manufacturability, materials, and finishing processes that is unrivalled by regular CAD designers. Often times small design changes resulting from the trained eyes of a mechanical engineer can dramatically reduce costs involved with production. After all, you may have the design for the world’s next greatest widget, but if it cost too much to manufacture, it will never reach its potential market.
Our professionals are here to help; we want you to think of us as your own personal engineering department. We try to get as much detail as possible about your manufacturing process and assembly planning in order to match our design with your production capabilities. We are interested in the type fasteners to be used, how much welding will be required, where adhesives will be used, and which finish coating or plating is most suitable. We are receptive to concurrent engineering strategies, problem solving, and continuous improvements of your products. As always, we understand how important timelines are and hold ourselves accountable to agreed upon deadlines.
