RD8’s mechanical engineering consultants apply robust design methods across the full product lifecycle - helping you reduce complexity, improve performance, and design more sustainable, cost-effective products.
How our consultants create impact
From product reviews to full design execution, our consulting services integrate seamlessly into your workflow to help you build better products.
New Product Development
What we do
We develop complete product platforms, modules, and systems using our metric-driven robust design process. From concept to CAD, we optimize for reliability, cost-efficiency, and manufacturability.
What you get
• Transparent, data-driven development
• Faster time-to-quality
• Scalable designs with modular flexibility
• Right-first-time product performance
Product Redesign
What we do
We re-engineer existing products using RD8’s Robust Design approach to eliminate complexity, improve performance, and drive down cost.
What you get
• Reduction in CO₂ emissions
• Reduction in production scrap
• Increase in product lifetime
• Fewer risks and greater robustness
Design for Sustainability Optimization
What we do
We use Robust Design methods to systematically reduce environmental impact - optimizing materials, energy use, and production processes while improving performance and reliability.
What you get
• CO₂ reduction via material substitution
• Less energy loss in dynamic systems
• Lower emissions from improved processes
Product Reviews: Design Assessments, Benchmarks, Teardowns
What we do
We review mechanical designs using our proprietary metrics that quantifies robustness and complexity based on your 3D CAD using our inhouse developed software.
What you get
• Objective benchmark of your product’s design quality
• Visibility into hidden risks and overconstraints
• Data-backed recommendations for improved robustness and profit
• A trackable KPI to guide future development

Why work with RD8 consulting?
Because complex mechanical design challenges demand more than generic solutions. RD8 brings deep engineering expertise to help you.
Our consultants offer expert guidance on manufacturability, value engineering, tolerance design, and root-cause analysis, so you can make the right decisions from the start.
Whether you're launching a new product or troubleshooting a critical issue, our on-demand coaching helps you navigate the toughest moments in development.
We focus on your most urgent and recurring issues, using robust design methods to deliver lasting improvements - not just quick fixes.
Tolerances as a Service
Need help with tolerancing? Lacking the time or the overview?
Don't worry - RD8's experts can assist you or your project team. We utilize our inhouse developed tolerance software and experience from over 800 projects.
Setup and documentation of tolerance chains to predict performance of critical functions. Get to know if you will meet specifications or not and what can be done to improve.
Ensuring quality and predictability of tolerance chains. We utilize our software to detect ambiguities to clarity if you can trust calculations.
Our experts always acts as a team player and have focus on how to improve the design to ease demands and improve the performance.
