Precision begins in the detail

Mechanical development

Whether an implant, diagnostic system or laboratory device – behind every medical technology product is a precisely thought-out mechanical system. At B&W, we develop these mechanical solutions with a focus on functionality, manufacturability and regulatory safety. Our engineering teams combine decades of experience with modern CAD and simulation technology and support you from the initial idea through to series production.

For our customers in the medical technology and device technology sectors, this means resilient designs, reliable interfaces, efficient processes and products that prove themselves in the field. Our aim is to create the mechanical basis for your innovation.

Our services at a glance

A good product starts with the right question. Firstly, we clarify what is technically feasible, economically viable and regulatory realisable. Our concept and feasibility studies lay the foundation for this – data-based, methodical and always with the requirements of your industry in mind.

Typical services:

  • Technical requirements analysis and function definition

  • Evaluation of mechanical concepts for feasibility

  • Material selection taking into account operating conditions, biocompatibility and standards

  • Tolerance analyses and risk assessment for critical assemblies

  • Economic feasibility studies and lifecycle analyses

Our design processes are geared towards efficiency, functionality and manufacturability. Using state-of-the-art 3D CAD systems, we develop components and assemblies that fit seamlessly into your technical and regulatory requirements. In doing so, we keep an eye on both ease of assembly and subsequent series production.

Typical services:

  • 3D CAD design of individual parts and complex assemblies

  • Technical drawings in accordance with applicable ISO and GD&T standards(geometric dimensioning and tolerances)

  • Development of production-ready, assembly-friendly designs

  • Integration of electromechanical interfaces

  • FEM analyses, thermal calculations and flow simulations

Visualising function before it goes into series production: In our in-house prototyping department, we produce prototypes and functional samples that correspond to the later product in terms of design, feel and mechanics. This allows us to recognise weaknesses at an early stage, implement adjustments directly and shorten development times in a targeted manner.

Typical services:

  • Rapid prototyping with 3D printing, CNC machining or injection moulding

  • Assembly and testing of mechanical functional samples

  • Verification of fit, haptics and function

  • Carrying out initial load and environmental tests

Before a product goes into series production, it has to prove that it works under real conditions. In our test processes, we simulate loads, environmental influences and long-term stresses – systematically and documented in line with the specifications and requirements and with a comparison of regulatory requirements. In this way, we ensure that every component fulfils its function and that all requirements are demonstrably met.

Typical services:

  • Mechanical function tests (e.g. service life, load, vibration)

  • Climate tests and environmental simulations under realistic conditions

  • Verification in line with specifications and requirements

  • Validation at system level in accordance with regulatory requirements

A good design does not end in the CAD system. We support your development through to series production – with structured handovers, clear designs and reliable partners. Our experience in DFM (Design for Manufacturing) and DFA (Design for Assembly) ensures that your products can be produced efficiently and assembled safely. For the handover, we create complete production documents, parts lists and test concepts, coordinate with suppliers and provide support for pilot series and the start of production.

Typical services:

  • Design optimisation for series production (DFM/DFA)

  • Preparation of production-ready drawings, documents and parts lists

  • Selection and technical support of manufacturing partners

  • Support with pilot series, production start-up and troubleshooting

  • Quality assurance through harmonised test concepts and devices

In regulated markets such as medical technology, compliance with standards is not an option, but a prerequisite. We develop designs that are not only technically convincing, but also regulatory compliant.

Typical services:

  • Design in accordance with relevant standards (e.g. ISO 60601)

  • Support with technical documentation and CE conformity

  • Implementation and documentation of standard-compliant risk analyses (ISO 14971)

Technical products need to evolve – whether due to new requirements, changes in standards or the need to optimise production and cost structures. We support you in analysing existing designs in a targeted manner, developing them further and revising them in such a way that they remain future-proof, economical and adaptable.

Typical services:

  • Analysis of mechanical weaknesses and optimisation potential

  • Cost optimisation through targeted material and production adaptation

  • Miniaturisation and adaptation to new requirements

  • Modularisation and development of variant-capable systems

We are B&W – Our philosophy in mechanical development

Good mechanics are the result of dialogue. We listen, ask the right questions and think beyond the design. What counts is the interplay between experience, technical understanding and a clear view of what really works.

Our customers value this kind of co-operation. Because it’s not just about components, but about trust. And the secure feeling of having a partner at their side who takes responsibility – right from the start.
