Whether you need a single part designed, a full product developed, or a prototype in your hands — 14 North Engineering delivers precise, practical mechanical engineering without the agency overhead.
Mechanical Design & CAD Development
3D CAD modelling, engineering drawings, and design optimisation for manufacturable mechanical systems.
Rapid Prototyping
Concept and functional prototypes to validate designs and support iterative product development.
Industrial Engineering Design
End-to-end engineering support from concept generation through to prototype and design refinement.
Product Development Support
Engineering support from initial concept through to design development and prototype delivery.
HOW WE WORK
Simple, Clear Process
No jargon, no lengthy procurement. You talk to an engineer from day one.
Step 01: Brief
Tell us what you need. A call, an email, a sketch on paper — we work from whatever you have and ask the right questions to define the scope.
Step 02: Proposal
You get a clear fixed-fee proposal and timeline. No surprises, no open-ended day rates unless you prefer that model.
Step 03: Design
We get to work. You're kept in the loop at agreed review stages — not bombarded with updates, but always informed and in control.
Step 04: Deliver
CAD files, drawings, prototypes — delivered in the formats you need. Ready for your manufacturer or for the next stage of development.
WHO WE HELP
Your Design Department. Without the Headcount.
Most NI manufacturers under 50 people don't have dedicated design engineering resource — they rely on one or two experienced people wearing multiple hats. We give them professional mechanical design capacity without the overhead of a full-time hire.
SME Manufacturers
You make things but don't have engineering resource in-house. We become your design department — on demand, when you need us.
Product Inventors & Startups
You have an idea, we have the engineering. We take concepts from sketch to prototype so you can test the market before investing in production.
Agri-Tech & Food Processing
NI's largest industry. Custom machinery, jigs, fixtures and equipment modifications — designed and prototyped to your exact requirements.
Engineering Firms & Contractors
Need overflow design capacity or a specialist to handle a specific project? We work as a trusted subcontractor to other engineering businesses.
Got a Project or Design Challenge?
Tell us what you're working on. We'll come back to you within one working day with an honest assessment and, if it's a fit, a clear proposal.
No obligation. No sales pitch. Just engineering.
