Mechanical Engineering

Designing complex systems and hardware is one thing. Bringing them successfully to the market is a different ballgame. At Comate, we turn ideas into tangible, manufacturable and scalable solutions.

We guide your project through every stage: from early concepts and simulations to detailed 3D design and complete technical construction. Our team combines mechanical design expertise with production know-how and a strong supplier network.

Whether it’s a first prototype for a start-up, a research spin-off or large-scale production for a multinational, we have successfully done it before. Our proven methodology always balances functionality, cost and quality. The outcome: solutions that don’t just work on paper but perform in the real world.

The challenge

Mechanical design is often underestimated. Every decision from concept to production affects cost, quality and timing. Along the way, teams often face challenges such as:

  • Designing with production in mind, aligning assembly and supplier integration from the start.
  • Keeping cost drivers (BOM, CAPEX, NRE) under control before they escalate.
  • Ensuring manufacturability without overengineering.
  • Embracing iteration, knowing that most solutions evolve through testing and refinement, not ‘first time right’.
  • Ensuring smooth integration between mechanics, electronics and software.

Our approach

We follow a structured process with one clear goal: bringing your product successfully to the market. Clear requirement management, open communication, consistent quality and transparent budget control are key pillars of our methodology. Independent from suppliers and manufacturing capabilities, we always keep the focus on the product itself.

What sets us apart is the balance between engineers and product developers. Also, because we develop electronics and software in-house, we can design clear system architectures from the very beginning. This short, iterative loop ensures integration across disciplines. It allows us to predict and address potential problems long before they can slow down your development.

Proven track record

We have helped start-ups, scale-ups and multinationals turn ideas into successful hardware products and machines:

Compliance & standards

Mechanical engineering projects must comply with a wide range of product- and industry-specific regulations. When a product or machine enters the market, it is always the responsibility of the manufacturer to prove compliance. Identifying the right regulations can be complex without the necessary expertise.

At Comate, we integrate these requirements early in the design process, in close collaboration with our dedicated compliance team. We take the burden off your shoulders and ensure a smooth market introduction.

Relevant standards include:

  • Low Voltage Directive
  • Machine Directive
  • IEC 60601 – Basic safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment
  • IVDR – In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation
