Comprehensive Design Services

Our experienced engineering team provides end-to-end design services for cable assemblies and wire harnesses. From initial concept to production-ready documentation, we ensure your designs are optimized for performance, reliability, and manufacturability.

Concept Development

Transform rough ideas into viable designs. We work with your requirements to develop optimal solutions for your application.

Electrical Schematics

Detailed electrical schematics with wire routing, pin assignments, and connection specifications.

3D CAD Modeling

3D models for visualization, fit checks, and integration with your mechanical assemblies.

Technical Documentation

Complete BOM, assembly drawings, test procedures, and quality inspection criteria.

DFM Analysis

Design for Manufacturing review to optimize designs for cost-effective production. If you already have a released drawing, use our engineering drawing review service to check BOM, pinout, tolerance, label, and test readiness before build.

Prototype & Testing

Build prototypes for validation, conduct testing, and refine designs before production.

Real Project SnapshotIndustrial ยท South Africa ยท 2022-Q1 ยท Scope: wire harness

A real industrial brief we delivered against

The brief. An industrial equipment integrator needed to update their wire harness design from V2.0 to V2.1 while simultaneously enforcing strict safety certifications for their end market.
The hard bit. The customer required a mid-production design iteration (Harness 499 V2.0 adjusted to 1289 V2.1) and mandated UL certification for the wire harnesses, requiring strict material compliance and documentation without disrupting the urgent delivery schedule.
What we did. Engineering teams coordinated closely on the V2.1 drawing updates, specifically confirming label content and end-treatment specifications. Sourced and verified UL-certified wire and components to meet the stringent safety standards requested by the customer's electronic engineering team.
How it landed. Seamlessly transitioned production to the V2.1 specification without lead time penalties, delivering fully UL-certified harnesses that met the customer's rigorous safety and quality standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What design services do you provide?โ–ผ

We provide complete custom design services including electrical schematics, mechanical drawings, 3D CAD models, Bill of Materials (BOM), manufacturing documentation, and testing procedures. Our team handles everything from concept to production-ready designs.

Do I need to provide complete specifications?โ–ผ

No. We can work with various levels of detail - from rough concepts to fully detailed specifications. Our engineering team will fill in the gaps and provide recommendations based on industry best practices and your application requirements.

Can you reverse engineer existing cable assemblies?โ–ผ

Yes, we offer reverse engineering services. Send us a sample and we can recreate the design, improve upon it if needed, and manufacture replacements or enhanced versions.

How long does the design process take?โ–ผ

Simple designs typically take 3-5 business days. Complex designs with multiple connection points, custom connectors, or special requirements may take 1-2 weeks. We provide estimated timelines during the initial consultation.

Do you provide design validation and testing?โ–ผ

Absolutely. We build prototypes for design validation, conduct electrical testing, mechanical stress testing, and environmental testing as needed. We ensure designs meet all specified requirements before production.

What file formats do you accept and provide?โ–ผ

We accept and provide various formats including PDF, DXF, DWG, STEP, IGES, STL for mechanical drawings, and standard electrical schematic formats. We work with most CAD systems including SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and Altium.

Is there a charge for design services?โ–ผ

Design fees depend on complexity. Simple modifications are often included with prototype orders. Complex custom designs may have engineering fees, which are typically credited toward production orders. Contact us for a detailed quote.
