MECHANICAL DESIGN AND ENGINEERING
Mechanical Engineering Design Services
As a multidisciplinary mechanical engineering firm, we integrate CAD, simulation, and manufacturing-ready outputs. We then deliver fit-for-purpose, tolerance-controlled designs that meet compliance standards and support risk analysis across applications.
Make It Right, Before You Make It Real
Our engineers can turn even ambiguous ideas into tested and true hardware by pairing subject matter expertise with fabrication experience.
Tools for Mechanical Design Engineering
Mechanical Design Capabilities
FEA Design
Non-linear, fatigue and thermal stress simulations validate strength, cut weight and lock safety factors before tooling.
Electro-Mechanical Integration
CFD Simulation
Airflow, pressure and heat-flow studies optimise cooling, mixing and drag to ensure real-world performance.
Custom Machine Design and Build
Expert mechanisms and frames engineered for uptime, maintainability and scalable manufacturing.
Motion Control Engineering
Servo sizing, kinematics and control-loop tuning deliver precise, repeatable automation and robotics.
Rapid Prototyping
3D printing, CNC machining and laser cutting turn ideas into fit-for-function parts in days.
Key Clients
Louis Manuge, P.Eng.
Lead Engineer – Mechanical Team
Lou leads Enginuity’s Mechanical Team and is a native of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Lou has always been curious about how and why stuff really works (or doesn’t).
Lou has 10+ years of experience in fabrication, mining, marine, automation, offshore, oil & gas, aerospace, defense, civil, and medical sectors.
He has worked in various roles such as CNC operator, draftsman, design engineer, and lately as discipline lead. Lou has previously worked for companies such as Atlantic Hardchrome, INCO, CVRD, and RKO steel. He graduated in 2008 from Dalhousie University with a degree in BEng Materials Engineering.
Lou has broad expertise in engineering fundamentals with a focus on structural FE. He has a proven track record of success in applying technical rigour and FE methods to highly constrained design problems using tools such as Femap and Ansys. Lou is also a highly capable CAD user proficient with Inventor, Solidworks, SpaceClaim.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you sign an NDA before we share details?
Which industries do you typically work in?
Our specialisation spans aerospace and defence, product development, marine engineering, smart manufacturing, and research and development programmes.
Can you take my idea from concept all the way to mass production?
Do you have in-house prototyping capabilities?
Do you offer support with vendor sourcing or supply chain coordination?
Do you incorporate Design for Manufacturing into a project’s cost and schedule?
We run DFM checks at every milestone so cost and lead times stay clear and under control.
Can you help us modernize or redesign existing mechanical systems?
Which fabrication methods can you provide, and when do you recommend each?
We design for CNC machining, casting, sheet metal, weldments, injection molding, hydro-forming and composite lay-up. We help you choose the best fit for your geometry, volume and budget based on your unique project requirements.
Which CAD and simulation tools do you use day to day?
Inventor and SolidWorks for modeling; ANSYS, Femap and Nastran for FEA; Ansys Fluent for CFD.
Can you engineer products to meet certifications like CE, FCC, UL, ISO or FDA?
Yes. As part of our process we identify the exact code sets—CE, FCC, UL, ISO, FDA, or sector-specific—that apply to your target market. Those requirements drive the design from day one, and we can oversee and guide you through each step of the certification process.
Our engineers have already delivered compliant hardware for medical devices, marine systems, industrial automation, and defence programmes.
