Mechanical Product Design – Brunson Machinery Tools
Start a project
Project snapshot
We needed to design a line of excavator attachments. The construction equipment design we provided for Brunon Machinery equipped them with materials and prototypes needed for approaching investors.
The LA New Product Development Team delivered Mechanical Product Design – Brunson Machinery Tools. The work sits in our industrial equipment experience, where we take an idea from concept through design, prototyping and manufacturing readiness.

Equipment design project at a glance
| Scope | Mechanical design of industrial tooling and machinery |
|---|---|
| Engineering | Load cases, material selection, tolerance stack-ups, weldment design |
| Deliverables | CAD assemblies, fabrication drawings, BOM, assembly instructions |
| Typical timeline | 6-16 weeks depending on assembly size |
Designing for the shop floor, not the screen
Industrial equipment is judged by the people who fabricate, operate and repair it. Every design decision gets checked against how it will be welded, how a technician reaches a fastener, and what happens when a part is abused in the field. Drawings that a machine shop can quote without a phone call are the actual deliverable.
How we work
- Requirements gathered on site, including duty cycle and failure history
- Concept layouts reviewed with operators and fabricators
- Detailed CAD with analysis on the load paths that matter
- Fabrication drawings, weld callouts and a quotable BOM
- Build support through first article and field trial
Frequently asked questions
What does industrial equipment design cost?
Single tools and fixtures typically run $5,000-$20,000; full machine assemblies generally run $40,000-$150,000.
Can you redesign existing equipment that keeps failing?
Yes. We reverse-engineer the current design, find the actual failure mode and re-engineer the affected sections.
Do you supply fabrication drawings?
Yes - dimensioned drawings, weldment details and BOMs suitable for direct quoting.
Capabilities used on this project
Rapid prototyping services
3D printing, CNC machining, urethane casting and functional prototype builds with published materials, tolerances and lead times.
Concept design
Sketch exploration, form studies and CAD concepts that turn an idea into a buildable direction.
Prototype design and engineering
Design for the prototype itself: CAD, tolerance stacks, material choices and assembly detail before anything is built.
