Project overview

  • Mechanical design
  • Prototyping

01

Challenge

The client had a concept and a demo date. There was no drawing package, no supplier list and a payload that kept changing.

02

Approach

We froze the interfaces first, then built the chassis around a bolt pattern that could carry any payload the client might choose.

03

Solution

A five-piece aluminium chassis with a standard payload plate, delivered with a full drawing package and a build guide.
