From the initial concept model to a supplier-qualified release package, delivered as scoped work packages at whichever stage you require. Each stage below sets out what it covers and the programmes it was delivered on.
GeoTolerance provides senior engineering capacity across the full design-make-verify lifecycle, with manufacturing and quality expertise embedded at every stage.
You engage the whole chain or a single stage, and the work is led throughout by an engineer who has held design authority and signed off first article inspection.
Concept through released definition: architecture, requirements capture, 3D modelling, assemblies and drawing production, held under full configuration and change control.
The stage where cost and risk are committed, and where they are cheapest to design out.
Parametric part and assembly modelling across SolidWorks, Inventor, NX, Creo and CATIA, to your standards, templates and PLM.
Production-ready 2D drawings and/or model-based definition with PMI, to ASME Y14.5, 14,41, ISO GPS or BS 8888.
ECN/ECR governance, product breakdown structures, BOM build and technical baseline integrity maintained across the release.
GD&T interpretation, inspection planning, first article inspection and supplier conformance to ASME, ISO and AS9100 requirements.
Validating the design before it is commenced to production.
Structural, thermal and dynamic analysis, tolerance stack-ups, pressure calculations, and the verification documentation your V&V and FAIR processes consume.
Commonly the first workload an analysis-led team subcontracts when it exceeds capacity.
Structural, thermal and dynamic analysis to validate designs against load, fatigue and environmental requirements. Pressure-system design and calculation to ASME and DEF STAN.
Worst-case and statistical stack-ups that catch interference and fit failures before assembly, when a fix is at its most expensive to rectify.
OrcaFlex dynamic analysis of subsea systems under fatigue, pressure cycling and marine loading, with design-integrity assessment. MATLAB/Simulink analysis.
Making the definition manufacturable: DFM and DFA before over-specification inflates every quote, process and material alignment, and the manufacturing documentation that carries a design cleanly onto the shop floor.
NPI packages from concept and feasibility through prototype, material sourcing and production release.
Process, material and feature review against the intended manufacturing method, taking cost out before it is committed in tooling.
Part-count reduction, accessibility and error-proofing so the build is efficient and does not invite misassembly.
Manufacturing specifications, process layouts, work instructions and tooling definition to support production and handover.
Assuring the design meets requirement and can be proven to: FAIR, inspection planning, NCR and concession management, root-cause corrective action, and the quality documentation that closes a programme out.
FAIR to AS9102 with balloon mark-up, dimensional report review and GD&T conformance sign-off on critical components.
Full NCR lifecycle from raise and containment through disposition, concession approval and corrective-action close-out.
8D, 5 Whys, Ishikawa and DMAIC from containment through systemic correction, feeding lessons back into design standards.
CMM and FARO-arm data interrogation, GD&T verification, gauge R&R and measurement-system analysis to ISO/IEC 17025.
Engagement is always scoped: a defined package, defined acceptance, a defined fee,
