Close-To-Market Design Teams

Macauto understands that design is the critical initial phase of the product development cycle.

We have located our expert product design teams close to all key markets for your convenience.
This proximity enables us to respond rapidly to modifications and reviews through face to face design reviews in our clients’ markets.

All of the designs are entirely customized and individually developed for each model.

Design Team Locations:

  • Europe
  • China
  • Taiwan

The design phase often includes re-design or upgrade of existing or past products to include new functionality and updated features for new model ranges.

Our design strength allows us to provide a huge range of options for our customers to create cutting edge products for the latest models.

Software Simulation

Our design team initially carries our software simulation using CAE and other tools to verify that the design parameters fully meet specified performance requirements.

At this stage our local teams can rapidly accommodate customer modifications and recommend simplifications to designs, add new functionality or change geometry and style to suit evolving model requirements and specifications.

Prototyping & Testing

After software simulation, we then create design pattern prototypes for testing using CNC machining and 3D printing. We then use these to confirm the following:

  • Functionality and operation characteristics.
  • Mass production feasibility, assembly & process.
  • Materials testing and confirmation.
  • Durability and stability of prototype mechanism.

Intellectual Property Protection

Macauto has a wealth of patents to cover the key design aspects of all of our products and these are regularly updated and increased.

This provides our customers with peace of mind for the production and sales process that products will not be copied by competitors.

As we encounter innovations requiring protection for the customer we will apply for the relevant IP protections during the development process.
