What we do
We turn concepts into manufacturable hardware.
For defence and UxV teams moving from concept to production, we engineer hardware for manufacturability - reducing redesigns, scrap and costly production delays.

Tell us what you’re building. We’ll define the path to production.
Answer two questions so we can understand the platform, development stage and engineering support required.

What we prevent
Costly mistakes - resolved before they reach production
Small design decisions can become tooling changes, scrap and missed deadlines. We identify them early, while they are still inexpensive to correct.
Excessive part variety increases unit cost
Too many custom parts increase BOM cost, tooling complexity and assembly time. We simplify and standardise before production is committed.
Assembly conflicts discovered too late
Interferences, tolerance stack-ups and sequence issues surface during integration. We resolve them earlier through proper fit and assembly planning.
Documentation gaps creating rework
Incomplete or inconsistent drawings and BOMs lead to fabrication errors and unnecessary rework. Production-ready documentation prevents them.
Engineering support services
Engineering support from concept to production. We start with manufacturability, then develop the drawings and documentation required to execute it correctly. Engagements are scoped per project and can be delivered as contractor, subcontractor or consultant support.
01
DFM/DFA & manufacturing readiness
We identify cost drivers, assembly risks and production issues before tooling or manufacturing is committed.
02
CAD design & production documentation
2D drawings, 3D models, assemblies, BOMs and CNC-ready files prepared for clear, repeatable production.
03
Technical review & engineering support
Senior engineering support for demanding projects, tight deadlines and critical design decisions.
04
Prototyping & design for assembly
We turn designs into functional prototypes, validate assembly and refine the design for reliable production.
AI integration
AI-assisted engineering - faster iteration, better decisions
We use AI where it adds measurable value: exploring design options, identifying DFM issues earlier and accelerating production documentation - with senior engineering judgement at every stage.
Explore more options
AI-assisted iteration broadens the design space, so more concepts can be evaluated before tooling.
Catch issues earlier
Automated checks flag cost, assembly and failure risks earlier in development.
Document faster
Models become drawings, BOMs and production documentation with less manual effort.
Engineering experience built in the field
More than 15 years of CAD and mechanical design experience, including seven years in aviation working directly with aircraft as both mechanic and engineer. Five years developing unmanned systems across air, ground and underwater applications have added full-cycle experience - from concept and CAD through manufacturing, integration and testing. D0 Engineering brings that experience into every engagement, supported by a trusted network of specialists when additional capability is required.

Where we add the most value
D0 Engineering is most effective when hardware is moving toward production, deadlines are tight, or specialist engineering capacity is needed without expanding the permanent team.
SCALING TO PRODUCTION
Prototype → Production
DFM, documentation and manufacturing support to move hardware forward without unnecessary redesign cycles.
FUNDED/CONTRACTS
Delivery under pressure
Additional senior engineering capacity to protect schedule, budget and technical quality during execution.
ENGINEERING CAPACITY
On-demand engineering
Experienced engineering support for overloaded teams, critical reviews and short-term capability gaps.
MANUFACTURING READINESS
Production readiness
We bring the DFM and production judgement needed to turn a promising design into manufacturable hardware.
How we work
From one part to production
Start with a focused technical review to identify manufacturability risks before committing to tooling or production.
01
Initial technical review
Share one production-bound component. We identify manufacturability risks and define the most valuable next steps.
02
DFM/DFA & production definition
We optimise cost, assembly and manufacturability, then develop the documentation required for production.
03
Production readiness
We refine the design for repeatable manufacturing and support the transition from prototype to production.
Reduce risk before production
Send one production-bound part for an initial technical review. We’ll identify manufacturability risks, cost drivers and potential production issues before they become expensive.
