Product development SME offers lightweight design, engineering optimisation, prototyping and pilot production expertise for collaborative R&D projects

A Türkiye-based product development and engineering SME offers expertise for collaborative R&D projects focused on lightweight product design, engineering optimisation, prototyping and pilot production.

The company’s core competence is transforming early-stage concepts, new materials and manufacturing ideas into manufacturable and functional products. Its capabilities include mechanical and electromechanical product development, design for manufacturing and assembly (DfMA), part-weight reduction, selected structural CAE, plastic part and injection mould design, Moldex3D flow and warpage analysis, technical documentation, prototyping, additive manufacturing and low-volume/pilot production.

Within lightweighting projects, the SME can contribute to the redesign and optimisation of components and products by reducing material usage, improving geometry, evaluating manufacturability and adapting designs to alternative materials or production processes. It can also support the development of functional demonstrators and prototypes for validation and application testing.

The company is particularly interested in projects where universities, research organisations, material developers or technology providers are developing novel lightweight materials, sustainable alternatives, additive manufacturing approaches or new manufacturing concepts, and where these developments need to be transferred into real product applications.

Potential contributions include:

• lightweight product and component design,

• geometry and part-weight optimisation,

• DfMA and manufacturability assessment,

• selected CAE and injection moulding simulation,

• adaptation of designs to new materials and manufacturing routes,

• additive manufacturing and rapid prototyping,

• development of functional prototypes and demonstrators,

• pilot and low-volume production,

• technical documentation and supplier coordination,

• support for engineering validation and iterative product development.

The SME is seeking international R&D partners and consortia where its product development and industrialisation capabilities can complement expertise in advanced materials, sustainability, additive manufacturing, digital engineering and lightweight manufacturing technologies.

Beyond component-level engineering, the company has experience in system-level product development involving mechanical structures, enclosures, electromechanical integration and manufacturable assemblies. Its project background includes EV charging systems, simulator cabins, smart assistive products, autonomous devices and complex functional demonstrators. This enables the SME to contribute not only to lightweight component optimisation, but also to the redesign and integration of lightweight solutions at subsystem and complete-product level.
