We work closely with your team to ensure every component is not only functional but manufacturable and assembly-friendly. From flat pattern development to final finish, our fabrication process is tuned for efficiency and repeatability — no matter the scale.

Materials & Thicknesses:

• Mild Steel – 0.9 mm to 6 mm (standard grades like CR4, S275, etc.)

• Stainless Steel – 304, 316 grades, brushed or polished

• Galvanised & Pre-Galv Steel – for corrosion resistance in damp environments

We select materials and processes based on your usage, environment, and industry requirements.

Built to Fit. Built to Last.

Whether it’s a single component or a full kit of parts, our fabricated steelwork is designed to integrate into your workflow with minimal effort — and maximum reliability.

In-House Design – Practical Solutions, Engineered Right

At ElektraMech, our in-house design service is where every successful project begins. Whether you’re starting from a concept sketch or providing detailed specifications, we turn ideas into fully manufacturable solutions — efficiently, accurately, and with your end-use in mind.

With a focus on functional, high-quality steelwork and enclosures, our design process ensures that every part is fit for purpose, simple to assemble, and ready for production.

What We Offer in Design:

Collaborative Concept Development

We work closely with you to understand your requirements — from the intended environment and mechanical constraints to installation preferences and finish expectations. Our team is experienced at refining rough ideas or prototypes into production-ready designs.

CAD Design & Drafting

Using industry-standard CAD software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor, etc.), we develop detailed 2D and 3D models, including:

• Fully dimensioned technical drawings

• Flat patterns for laser or CNC profiling

• Bend lines, hole positions, and welding guides

• Exploded views or assembly drawings, if required

These digital assets ensure accuracy during fabrication and smooth communication with your team.

Design for Manufacturability (DFM)

We don’t just design what looks good — we design what works. Our in-house team optimises every part for cost-effective and consistent manufacturing by:

• Reducing unnecessary complexity

• Choosing standard tooling and material sizes

• Minimising waste and secondary processes

• Considering assembly sequence and access

Rapid Prototyping & Iteration

Need a prototype before committing to full production? We can produce a one-off or short-run version of your design to test for fit, form, and function — allowing for refinements before scaling up.

Problem Solving & Customisation

We frequently help clients solve practical challenges:

• Fitting new components into legacy systems

• Improving enclosure access, cable routing, or airflow

• Designing secure, tamper-resistant housings

• Adapting designs for IP ratings or safety compliance

• Matching aesthetic or brand guidelines

Supporting All Project Stages:

• Initial concept & consultation

• 3D modelling & digital rendering

• Technical drawing & revision control

• Prototype production & testing

• Final design approval for manufacture

Why In-House Design Matters

Keeping design under one roof means faster response times, tighter quality control, and seamless communication between design, fabrication, and finishing teams. It also means we can adapt quickly when requirements change — without delays or miscommunication.
