CAD Design & Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical design at Hikade Technologies is not isolated 3D modelling. It is a system-level decision that affects precision, stiffness, mass, assembly, serviceability, cable routing, thermal behavior and testability from the first concept.

Conceptual modelling and product design
Parametric modelling and assembly management
Tolerance-aware engineering and interface design
Design for manufacturing (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA)
Payload integration and mechanical packaging
Serviceability and maintainability design
3D rendering and manufacturing documentation
Precision mechanical assemblies

Computational Analysis

Simulation and computational analysis reduce design risk, speed up development cycles and help verify structural decisions before the first prototype. Analysis is used to optimize mass, verify stiffness, find critical load paths and identify failure modes.

Static structural and stress analysis
Strain, displacement and buckling analysis
Contact and dynamic analysis
Modal and harmonic analysis
Thermal analysis and thermal management
Topology optimization
Kinematics and mechanism analysis
Mechanical system optimization

Rapid Prototyping

Rapid prototyping at Hikade Technologies means the complete development cycle — not just printing a part. It includes design, manufacturing, assembly, bring-up, functional testing, iteration and next prototype. The goal is a working functional system in the shortest possible time.

Fast development cycles and iterative design
3D printing for functional and structural models
CNC machining and precision milling
Surface treatment and finishing
Laboratory assembly and integration
Functional bring-up and integration testing
Prototype refinement and iteration
Early customer validation

Embedded Control & Firmware

Embedded control is developed as part of the complete mechanical-electrical system, not as a separate software task. Control architecture, communication interfaces, safety logic and actuator integration are designed together with the mechanical structure from the start.

Embedded firmware development
Real-time control and state machines
RS-485, Ethernet and other communication interfaces
Watchdog logic and safety / fault-state handling
Data acquisition and signal processing
Communication with drives and sensors
Control interfaces and bootloader concepts
Hardware-software integration and commissioning

Mechatronics & System Integration

Mechatronic integration means bringing mechanics, electronics, firmware, software, sensors, actuators and cable routing together into a single working system. This is where isolated engineering decisions become real products.

Custom test stands and measurement devices
Single-purpose machines and automated workstations
Actuator and sensor integration
Motor control and drive integration
Control cabinet design and wiring
Harness and cable routing integration
Safety logic implementation
System commissioning and functional testing

Technical Documentation

Complete technical documentation is part of every project deliverable. We produce documentation that enables the customer to operate, maintain, understand and further develop the delivered system.

Analytical reports and risk analysis
Test reports and validation documentation
Installation and user manuals
Maintenance and service instructions
Manufacturing and assembly documentation
Customer handover documentation
Validation packages (where applicable)
Validation-Oriented Engineering

Validation is part of the design logic, not the final step

Hikade Technologies designs systems with testing and validation in mind from the beginning. For aerospace-relevant, HAPS, vacuum, clean-environment and industrial R&D systems, validation is not a final formality but part of the design logic.

This means testability, access to critical measurement points, sensor placement, calibration strategy, documentation and process repeatability are considered during the design phase — not after the prototype is assembled.

Testability
Calibration strategy
Sensor placement
Process repeatability
Access to critical points
Environmental considerations
Documentation traceability
Validation scope planning
