01What engineering services does Unicron Engineering Corporation provide?+
Three connected service lines: product engineering and 3D CAD design (SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, Fusion 360) with FEA/CFD validation; manufacturing engineering covering tooling, fixtures, Special Purpose Machines, hydraulics and inspection planning; and AI-driven optimisation including topology optimisation, predictive failure analysis and digital twins. A single team carries a programme from concept sketch to a released, DFM-checked production drawing package.
02Which CAD, simulation and optimisation tools do you work in?+
Design in SolidWorks, CATIA V5, Siemens NX and Fusion 360. Simulation in ANSYS Mechanical, ANSYS Fluent and ANSYS Discovery for structural, fatigue, thermal and flow behaviour. Optimisation in nTopology, SolidWorks Topology and custom Python/scikit-learn pipelines. Drawings are released to ASME Y14.5 GD&T, and we can deliver in the native format your supply chain already uses.
03Can you take a project from concept all the way to manufactured hardware?+
Yes. A typical end-to-end engagement runs: requirement capture and concept studies, detailed design, FEA/CFD validation, design reviews, DFM and tolerance stack-up, GD&T production drawings, vendor development and RFQ support, inspection and qualification planning, then first-article support on the shop floor until the part is signed off.
04Do you work as an extension of an existing in-house engineering team?+
Frequently. We plug into your PLM/PDM workflow, follow your drawing standards and review gates, and take ownership of a defined work package — a sub-assembly, a simulation campaign, or a full drawing release — so your core team stays on the critical path.
05How is a typical engagement priced and structured?+
Three models: fixed-scope deliverable (drawing package, simulation report, tooling design), monthly dedicated-engineer retainer for continuous programmes, and milestone-based development for full product programmes. Every proposal states scope, deliverable format, review points, revision allowance and timeline before work begins.
06How do you handle confidentiality and IP on defence programmes?+
All engagements run under NDA. Design data is held on controlled storage with access restricted to the assigned engineering team, and all IP generated during an engagement is assigned to the client unless the contract says otherwise. Export-controlled and classified work follows the customer's prescribed handling procedure.
