End-to-end consulting capabilities

Our consultants combine scientific expertise, engineering depth, and programme discipline. Whether you are refining a single component or orchestrating a cross-site product launch, PAC CAD LTD provides structured, evidence-driven guidance.

CAD Design & Drafting

Comprehensive CAD design & drafting

We produce precise CAD models and engineering drawings for complex assemblies and components across multiple sectors. Our consulting support spans CAD standards definition, template libraries, configuration strategies, and drawing control to ensure that your design data remains consistent, traceable, and production-ready.

  • CAD workflow audits and improvement roadmaps
  • Model-based definition and digital thread readiness
  • Drawing release governance and change control

Engineering Analysis

Engineering analysis solutions

Unlock deeper insight into product performance with advanced simulation and analytical services for structural integrity, fluid dynamics, and thermal analysis. We help you define the right loading scenarios, boundary conditions, and acceptance criteria so that simulation outputs become reliable design evidence.

  • Review and validation of existing simulation models
  • Methodology development and analysis templates
  • Design optimisation based on quantified safety margins

Project Planning

Technical project planning

From ideation to delivery, we orchestrate technical projects with rigorous planning, milestone tracking, and risk management frameworks. Our consultants align stakeholders, define realistic engineering work packages, and build transparent schedules that balance innovation with compliance and manufacturability.

  • Requirements capture and traceability structures
  • Milestone architecture, gateways, and acceptance criteria
  • Risk registers with mitigation and contingency planning

Prototyping, product development & scientific advisory

Our experts sit at the intersection of design, test, and regulation. We support you from first prototype through to compliant, manufacturable products with a clear evidence trail.

Prototyping Support

Prototyping support services

Accelerate innovation through rapid prototyping, physical model evaluation, and iterative design optimisation under expert supervision. We ensure every prototype build delivers targeted learning, feeding directly into your design and verification plans.

  • Prototype strategy aligned to project risks and unknowns
  • Build oversight and design-for-test recommendations
  • Structured feedback loops into CAD and analysis updates

Product Development

Product development consulting

We guide you from conceptualisation to market launch with strategic input on material selection, manufacturability, and compliance standards. Our consultants help you balance performance, cost, and regulatory constraints while keeping the design intent intact.

  • Concept feasibility and technology down-selection
  • Design-for-manufacture and design-for-assembly guidance
  • Compliance pathways for sector-specific standards

Scientific Advisory

Professional scientific advisory

Rely on our specialists for in-depth technical guidance, regulatory review, and R&D consultation tailored for scientific and engineering organisations. We bring structured thinking and traceable reasoning to complex, multi-parameter decisions.

  • Independent review of technical evidence and reports
  • Support for standards interpretation and regulatory submissions
  • R&D strategy input, experimental design, and data interpretation

Client success stories

Read how our consulting expertise has empowered businesses to overcome technical hurdles, innovate products, and achieve market success. Each engagement is structured around measurable outcomes, transparent assumptions, and documented decision paths.

Stabilising a complex assembly before tooling investment

An industrial manufacturer approached PAC CAD LTD with a multi-part assembly showing tolerance stack-up issues. Through targeted CAD review, parametric rebuild, and supporting structural analysis, we identified critical contributors, rebalanced tolerances, and generated a drawing set suitable for tooling sign-off. The client reduced change orders during ramp-up and met launch dates without compromising reliability.

De-risking a prototype programme with structured testing

A technology start-up required guidance to progress from concept to field-ready prototype under tight time constraints. We defined a staged prototyping and test plan, prioritised failure modes, and embedded design-for-test principles into the CAD models. As a result, the team converged on a robust configuration with fewer physical iterations and clear evidence for investors and partners.

Transparent process & collaboration

Experience seamless engagement: from requirements analysis and solution design to progress reporting and knowledge transfer. Our consulting process is designed to be clear, predictable, and aligned with your governance model.

  1. 1. Requirements & context analysis

    We begin with structured discovery workshops, reviewing your objectives, constraints, existing data, and stakeholder expectations. The outcome is a concise definition of scope, assumptions, and success criteria.

  2. 2. Solution design & planning

    Our consultants formulate a technical approach, select relevant tools, and define a delivery plan with milestones and decision checkpoints, integrating with your internal teams and suppliers where needed.

  3. 3. Execution, reporting & knowledge transfer

    We execute the agreed work packages with regular progress updates, design and analysis reviews, and traceable documentation. Final outputs include clear recommendations, supporting data, and lessons learned for future projects.
