Engineering Analysis
To support robust design decisions, we provide FEA and CFD analysis. Reducing risk, optimising performance, and validating mechanical systems before prototyping or manufacture.Finite Element Analysis (FEA)Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)Structural validation and optimisation
Prototyping & Testing
Refine and verify your designs with hands-on testing and functional evaluation. Our workshop facilities support physical prototyping, test builds, and troubleshooting to ensure designs are production-ready.Workshop-based assemblyPrototype testing & refinementDesign validation before production
Why Choose CNR for Engineering Design and Support
CNR brings over 35 years of hands-on mechanical engineering design experience to every project. We work across aerospace, defence, automotive, energy, and university research — sectors where precision, reliability and technical rigour are non-negotiable.
What sets our engineering design and support service apart is the combination of analytical capability and practical manufacturing knowledge. Designs are not just modelled and drawn — they are validated through FEA, refined through prototyping, and developed with real-world production constraints in mind. The result is engineering design work that moves efficiently from concept to production without costly late-stage revisions.
Whether you need embedded design resource to support your existing team, or a fully managed programme from initial brief through to final documentation, CNR scales its involvement to suit your project. Our ISO 9001:2015 certification and Cyber Essentials Plus accreditation reflect the standards we hold ourselves to on every engagement.
