Mechanical design
At FRECON, we have extensive experience of developing complete projects and costing out your mechanical products.
A mechanical design that works in practice takes passion, technical proficiency, innovation, experience, efficiency, cost optimisation and above all, collaboration from our team of mechanical and technical engineers.
Every employee at FRECON is dedicated to finding the best mechanical solutions. And we all share the belief that your results are the only results that matter. And that is the basis of our work!
Our team of professional specialists supply everything, from the design of large, complex industrial equipment to small mechanical tools and components, and you can obtain advice for the development of complete projects and/or cost out analyses for your mechanical designs.
At FRECON, you get mechanical designs that are reliable and producible – new products or optimisation of your existing products.
Always with the simple solution in focus!
We are ready to help you with our extensive experience of working with different materials, such as composite materials, aluminium, steel, castings, and plastic. Our mechanical designs cover many different purposes and industries, e.g. wind turbines, special machines, automation, medical devices, transport equipment, safety equipment, test equipment, production and installation tools, and components, e.g. for cars, boats and buildings.
Examples of mechanical designs we have supplied:
- Crane solutions and lifting yokes
- Equipment for sandblasting
- Hydraulic blocks
- Pitch and yaw systems
- Machines for processing and handling foods
- Equipment for the road transport of wind turbine blades, nacelles, etc.
- Nacelle covers
This method can be particularly valuable to you.
For example, we have costed out projects where this approach has enabled us to reduce material thickness further than would have otherwise been possible given the process, time, and budget. Thus, significant savings were achieved, making a measurable difference to production costs and in large parts of the value chain.

3D/2D design
We work with all phases in a production development process, from outlining, visualising, and 3D modelling to the finished production basis, consisting of 2D drawings, BOMs, manuals, etc. We are experts in building skeleton models, parametric design, surface modelling of advanced surfaces and auto generation. We draw using:
- Creo Parametric
- Siemens NX
- Autodesk Inventor
- SolidWorks
- Autodesk
- AutoCAD or an equivalent CAD program as desired
To support the creation of valid and consistent documentation, we work with PLM/PDM applications such as Windchill PDMLink, Teamcenter and MDOC and other systems.
Supply of prototypes
In collaboration with a strong network of talented subcontractors, we also supply prototypes. For example, we supplied a frame made of steel and composite material for a wind turbine, a safety guard made from composite material for a nacelle, transport fixtures for special components weighing 50–65 tonnes, an assembly fixture for wind turbines, lifting yolks and different tools for production.
