Engineering That Moves Products Forward
At MILIVOJA, we don’t just design parts. We engineer mechanical systems that form the structural and functional core of innovative products. Whether it’s a compact actuator housing, a high-load bracket system, a thermal structure, or a multi-part mechanical assembly, we design every component with one goal in mind: make it work, make it last, and make it manufacturable.
Mechanical engineering is where ideas become tangible, where tolerances matter, materials perform, and constraints must be solved under pressure, over time, and across environments. Our team blends analytical rigor with hands-on experience to create systems that deliver under real-world conditions. This isn’t about theory, it’s about building mechanical solutions that stand up to everything your product will face in the field.
We support clients from concept to production, embedding ourselves in your development process and helping you move fast without compromising on reliability. When the stakes are high, tight packaging, harsh conditions, or high-performance requirements, we’re the ones who get called in to solve the complex problems.
From Concept to Confidence
Mechanical engineering at MILIVOJA is never a handoff; it’s embedded in every decision. From the first sketches to the final 2D drawings, our engineers collaborate with designers, electrical engineers, suppliers, and test teams to ensure each product isn’t just functional it’s manufacturable, serviceable, and ready to scale.
Our job is to balance forces, constraints, regulations, and budgets without losing sight of usability or aesthetics. From robotics actuators to electric vehicle enclosures, from consumer-grade plastic housings to ultra-precise metal mechanisms, our work is defined by precision, practicality, and long-term thinking.
We ask the questions others skip
- How will this be assembled?
- What happens when it drops from a meter?
- Can it survive 10,000 cycles in 40°C heat?
- Will the fastener vibrate loose?
Because those are the questions that matter when your product hits the real world.
Built to Solve. Designed to Scale.
Mechanical systems can be complex, but our development process is built for clarity. Every phase has a purpose. Every step moves us closer to production.
Requirements and Research
We start by grounding ourselves in reality: What’s the product’s mission? What environments will it face? What constraints exist on budget, tooling, materials, and regulatory?
This stage involves defining performance goals, gathering benchmarks, identifying risks, and proactively addressing potential mechanical edge cases before they become problems. Whether it’s understanding drop test thresholds or preparing for IEC compliance, this foundation sets the tone for smart, focused development.
We also conduct competitor and system-level analysis looking for ways to reduce weight, increase strength, or improve durability without adding cost.
Concept Development
We explore how the system could work with multiple approaches, each weighed for tradeoffs. We sketch linkages, block assemblies in CAD, simulate forces across different materials, and define interface surfaces. It’s where engineering meets creativity, and constraints spark innovation.
We explore
- Load paths and stress concentrations
- Packaging and internal clearances
- Material compatibility
- Motion complexity vs. reliability
- Serviceability and disassembly
Feasibility isn’t just technical, it’s commercial. That means evaluating assembly time, tooling cost, and supply chain friction right alongside strength and stiffness.
Detailed Design and Analysis
With the best concept locked in, we go deep into design. Every component is modeled with accurate tolerances and manufacturing considerations. Mating parts are aligned, interfaces are cleaned, and edge cases are solved before they reach the prototype.
We use tools like
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA) for structural validation
- Thermal simulation for heat transfer and dissipation
- Motion and kinematic analysis for linked mechanisms
- Tolerance stack-ups for tight-fit assemblies
We pay close attention to
- Fastening strategy
- Safety factors
- Weight reduction
- Thermal venting and expansion
- Cost of goods (COGS) targets
Prototyping and Real Testing
CAD can’t catch everything. That’s why we build. We generate 2D drawings, 3D CAD exports, BOMs, and detailed specs to move into fast prototyping. Whether it’s a quick-turn 3D print, machined aluminum part, or molded sample we put it in hand and get it tested.
We validate
- Fit and tolerance
- Assembly process
- Functional stress performance
- User interaction and ergonomic behavior
- Deformation, wear, and fatigue under real use
We iterate fast, build, test, and adjust. Our lab and prototyping partners enable us to cycle quickly and maintain high momentum.
DFM and Production Support
Once the prototype is proven, we prepare for manufacturing. That means cleaning up for scale.
We provide
- 2D technical drawings with tolerances and finishes
- Material specs and callouts
- Assembly instructions and exploded views
- Suggested tooling approaches (injection mold gating, CNC passes, etc.)
We work closely with your suppliers to optimize the design for yield, cost, and assembly speed. We support design-for-automation, lean manufacturing strategies, and setup for long-term supply chain success. And when production begins, we stay available for engineering validation, tooling feedback, and first article inspections because shipping a product doesn’t mean shipping the problem.
Because We Care About More Than Just Looks
We’re not theoretical. We’re tested. Our engineers have delivered mechanical systems for:
- Electric drivetrains
- Robotics linkages
- Consumer electronics housings
- Medical device frames and mechanisms
- Thermal and structural components in EVs and mobility systems
We know what works and what breaks. That saves you time, cost, and reputation risk.
Simulation That Actually Informs Design
We don’t just run FEA for compliance. We use simulation to find better answers early. It’s about optimization, not just verification. It’s how we reduce prototyping loops and catch failure points before they cost you.
Integrated Thinking
We don’t throw CAD over the wall. We collaborate with your ID team, your EE team, and your manufacturing partners. The result? A system that works holistically and hits spec the first time.
Manufacturing-Smart, From Day One
We think like builders. If a design needs a custom fixture, odd fastener, or 7-axis machining, there had better be a good reason. Otherwise, we’ll find a cleaner way. Efficient manufacturing isn’t an afterthought. It’s baked in from the beginning.
Clear Communication, No Guesswork
We work with clients of all sizes, from startups to global OEMs, and they all say the same thing: “You make this easy to follow.” We’re transparent, organized, and deadline-driven. No surprises. No chasing.
Let’s Build What Others Won’t Touch
Complex products need accountable engineering. That’s what we do. Whether it needs to move, withstand pressure, resist fatigue, or dissipate heat we design for the real world.
