- "Gerry is one of my favorite engineers to work with. If you look up 'collaboration' in the dictionary, you'll find Morelli Engineering listed at the top. He totally gets it, that all the elements of a design have to work together to make a successful product, not just the mechanical bits. He is knowledgeable and insightful, focused and hard working, honest and pragmatic, and always open to alternatives. A refreshing change from engineers that immediately fall in love with their own ideas, and are looking out mostly for that next patent opportunity. My highest recommendation!"
Don Cramer, Sr. Electrical Engineer, WEDC
HOW WE WORK - FOR YOUR SUCCESS
We have several modes of working with you to meet your needs
o Work in parallel with your Mechanical team on a piece or pieces of the work.
o Provide full Mechanical design support on a project.
o Provide expert consultation to your design team through analysis or instruction.
o Handle the complete product design with our network of EE's, PCB layout and software experts.
o Be your "virtual" Mechanical engineering department: Drawings on your title block; manage your documentation on your server and ours; handle technical discussions and meet with your contacts.
o Review your product designs and approve as Licensed Professional Engineer.
If the task or specifications are well defined and the path to success is fairly clear these can be fixed cost. If there are many unknowns hourly billing is best. At some point we could look into whether a retainer is beneficial.
What this can look like
o Targeted product design tasks, such as the mechanical and thermal design for the power supply PCB and heat sinking, or the enclosure for this.
o Strategic Strike: let's re-design part of the system to cool this hot component, mitigate excessive vibration or reduce weight or cost.
o System analysis: how many fans and where to optimize cooling? Do we need a heat pipe? Options?
o Concept analysis: can this be done, and about how much will the product cost?
o Combined design and analysis: design a vibration fixture for a complex or large component and provide a report on the predicted vibration frequency response.
o Complete product design, start to finish.
o Develop sources of supply for product components.
o Aid or facilitate product testing and certification.
o Review and sign off designs.
o Our native design work is in the current release of SolidWorks. We can also work bi-directionally with previous releases of SolidWorks, as well as standard formats such as STP, IGES, dxf, dwg, Parasolid, and other CAD formats.
o We have "talked" to other CAD systems as well. It's worth looking at on a case by case basis.
