IANNONE ECS Mechanical Design

Capabilities

Engineering support for products, equipment, and production

Practical mechanical design capability across products, tooling, equipment, reverse engineering, and manufacturing implementation.

Develop a mechanical product

Mechanical product development

Parts, assemblies, mechanisms, and product subsystems—from a single component to a complete machine subsystem. Concept through production drawings and release.

  • Mechanical parts, assemblies, sheet metal, weldments, plastics, elastomers
  • Product concepts, detailed design, design revisions
  • Machine components, mechanisms, tolerance and fit
  • Design for manufacturing and assembly
  • 3D CAD models, manufacturing drawings, bills of materials

Work example

Purpose-built production pressure-test stand with a pneumatic cylinder, water bath, and operator controls on a shop bench.

Build custom equipment

Custom machine and equipment design

Industrial equipment, machine modifications, and large custom assemblies developed with fabrication, operation, access, and maintenance in mind.

  • Custom equipment, structural assemblies, and modular systems
  • Machine modifications and equipment upgrades
  • Layout, alignment, and manufacturability planning
  • Guards, enclosures, and operator-access considerations
  • Assembly drawings, bills of materials, and production documentation

Test equipment

Design fixtures and test systems that securely hold components, apply controlled operating conditions, support repeatable inspections, and fit production workflows.

  • Pressure and functional test stands
  • Operator aids and production support equipment

Equipment example Test stand example

Two reverse-engineered overmolded components on a steel shop bench, showing the molded exterior and a cutaway of the internal steel insert.

Recreate a part or assembly

Reverse engineering

Recreation of undocumented or legacy parts and assemblies through measurement, inspection, CAD modeling, and manufacturing documentation.

  • Legacy component and assembly reconstruction
  • Sectioning, measurement, and manufacturing sequence analysis
  • CAD recreation of internal features and interfaces
  • Replacement-component documentation
  • Drawing packages suitable for machining and production

Component recreation example Cooled-mold example

Aluminum production machining fixture on a mill table, locating a component with toggle clamps for a machining operation.

Solve a manufacturing problem

Tooling, fixtures, and production support

Fixtures, tooling, and mechanical equipment for production, assembly, inspection, and testing. Fabrication, repeatability, operator use, and wear considered in the design.

  • Assembly, inspection, and test fixtures
  • Production tooling, workholding, and locating strategies
  • Fixture assemblies, drawings, bills of materials, and setup documentation

Fixture example

Documentation

GD&T and production documentation

Clear manufacturing communication through drawings, tolerances, assembly views, and supporting documentation that shops and suppliers can use.

  • Manufacturing drawings with GD&T
  • Assembly sections, exploded views, and bills of materials
  • Tolerance definition and fit communication
  • Vendor drawing packages and revision control
  • Documentation cleanup and backlog reduction

Plant support

Manufacturing engineering and plant support

Production issues, engineering changes, implementation support, and ongoing design needs. For companies that need experienced capacity without a full-time hire.

  • Production issue support, engineering changes, drawing corrections
  • Supplier communication and vendor drawing packages
  • Design for manufacturing reviews and cost-reduction design
  • New product introduction and production launch support
  • Project-based or scheduled part-time engineering hours
