Engineering Services: Design, Development & Manufacturing Support
Plan D Design provides practical engineering services from initial ideas and engineering problems through design, analysis, reverse engineering, prototyping and manufacture.
Engineering Design
Mechanical design, 3D CAD, detailed engineering and design for manufacture.
Product Design & Development
From early ideas and engineering problems through concept development, prototyping, testing and production.
Engineering Analysis, FEA & CFD
Structural, thermal and fluid analysis to understand behaviour, validate designs and support better engineering decisions.
3D Scanning, Reverse Engineering & Additive Manufacturing
Our in-house digital manufacturing capabilities allow us to capture existing components, recreate engineering geometry and rapidly produce prototypes, tooling and production parts.
3D Scanning
High-accuracy 3D scanning for dimensional capture, inspection, reverse engineering and the digitisation of existing components.
Reverse Engineering
Converting scan data and physical components into accurate, editable engineering CAD for reproduction, modification or further development.
3D Printing & Additive Manufacturing
Rapid production of prototypes, tooling, jigs, fixtures and functional components using a range of engineering materials and processes.
Engineering Experience Across Demanding Industries
Our experience spans Formula One and motorsport, automotive, aerospace, defence and complex industrial engineering — environments where performance, reliability and practical problem-solving matter.
Motorsport & Automotive Engineering
Engineering experience developed in Formula One, motorsport and automotive programmes, applying performance-led design, analysis and development methods to demanding engineering challenges.
Aerospace, Defence & Advanced Engineering
Design and development experience across aerospace, defence, composites and specialist engineering applications where weight, performance, reliability and manufacture must all be considered.
Industrial & Manufacturing Solutions
Practical engineering support for machinery, production equipment and industrial components — from solving failures and replacing obsolete parts to improving existing designs and manufacturing processes.
