Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineers blend physics, mathematics, and material science to create robust products and mechanical systems. We aim to deliver exceptional solutions to any design challenge, creating safe, efficient, and reliable outcomes.
​
-
Concept to Completion: From ideation to realization, we craft solutions leveraging CAD tools and available technologies.
-
Research and Development: Through R&D, we explore new materials, techniques, and technologies, pushing the boundaries of what's possible in mechanical engineering.
-
Prototyping and Building: We excel in creating detailed prototypes that pave the way for full-scale production. Our prototypes are not just models but functional representations that, once created, undergo rigorous evaluation before final production release.
-
Testing and Inspection: To ensure every system meets our stringent quality and performance standards, we conduct comprehensive testing and inspection.
Voices of Innovation: What Our Clients Say
Caztek did an outstanding job for my company, Nuwellis, on one of very complex product development efforts. Caztek engineers acted with a high level of professionalism, provided creative solutions, and completed their efforts on time and within budget. It was truly a great collaboration between an OEM and a contract design house. I would not hesitate to use Caztek again on future projects.

Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA) for Accelerated Time-to-Market
DFMA combines Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) to optimize the production process. At Caztek, we implement these methodologies to ensure our customers' products are efficiently manufactured and easily assembled, minimizing labor costs.
​
-
Early Collaboration: We know engaging with manufacturers to refine part designs before production is essential for long-term production success.
-
Streamlined Production and Efficiency: We are focused on reducing production costs while maintaining high-quality standards.
-
Quality Assurance: Ensuring designs meet stringent quality standards to guarantee proper function, safety, and prevent assembly issues is central to a positive outcome for clients and Caztek. We stand by all our engineering solutions.
Predicting Real-World Performance with Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a powerful method for predicting how a product reacts to real-world conditions and physical effects. At Caztek, we utilize FEA early in the development process to forecast part behavior under forces, vibration, heat, and make necessary design adjustments.
​
-
Early Implementation: We believe applying FEA early in the engineering process is essential to anticipating part behavior and making informed design choices.
-
Structural Integrity and Load Testing: We will analyze and optimize the structural integrity of designs to ensure durability in a variety of load cases.
-
Predictive Simulations: Conducting simulations to ensure reliability and safety under a wide range of conditions is a must to deliver a high-quality solution.
-
Material Optimization: FEA insights allow part optimization, reducing material use and ultimately lowering overall product costs.
-
Design Validation: We ensure that our designs are validated through detailed analysis to reduce the risk of failure.
Advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for Precision Engineering
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses computer software to analyze the behavior of fluids and physical systems. At Caztek, we utilize advanced tools and our extensive industry expertise to predict and optimize system performance for factors such as volumetric flow rate, mass flow rate, dynamic viscosity, heat transfer, and pressure drops before prototypes are built.
Using detailed simulations, we focus on improving efficiency and performance. We assess thermal management and heat dissipation to enhance system reliability. Additionally, we integrate fluid dynamics with other physical needs for a holistic system analysis.
