Engineering the Future, One Design at a Time
At Oxta Design Australia, we provide precise, production-ready mechanical engineering and CAD design services tailored to Australian innovators. Whether you’re a startup refining a prototype, a Sydney-based manufacturer scaling a product, or a national brand building complex assemblies—we’re here to bring clarity, structure, and reliability to your product development journey.
From initial concept to final technical drawings, our expert mechanical engineers and CAD designers ensure your product is not only functional and manufacturable but built to meet Australian standards and market expectations.
What is Mechanical Engineering & CAD Design?
Mechanical engineering in product development involves designing, analysing, and optimising the physical components and systems of a product. It focuses on ensuring functionality, durability, manufacturability, and performance.
CAD (Computer-Aided Design) is the digital toolset used to create precise 2D drawings and 3D models. It forms the backbone of modern product development, allowing for virtual prototyping, testing, and documentation long before production begins.
At Oxta Design, we combine mechanical design and CAD modelling to build products that are ready for real-world manufacturing—be it injection molding, CNC machining, die casting, or sheet metal fabrication.
Why Mechanical Engineering Matters in the Australian Market
Australia’s diverse manufacturing sectors—spanning mining, agriculture, consumer electronics, construction, and medical devices—demand products that are tough, safe, efficient, and regulation-compliant. The success of your product hinges on solid engineering design that holds up under real-world conditions.
By working with a local mechanical engineering and CAD partner like Oxta Design, you get:
Faster communication and collaboration
Alignment with Australian compliance standards (e.g. AS/NZS)
Supplier-ready drawings optimised for Australian tooling and fabrication
Access to Sydney and Melbourne-based prototyping facilities
Ongoing support from concept through to production
Our Mechanical Engineering Services
We work across all stages of the product development cycle, tailoring our process to your industry, budget, and manufacturing method. Our team operates out of Sydney and works with clients throughout Australia, from Brisbane to Perth and beyond.
1. Engineering Analysis & Design Review
We begin by reviewing your concept or early-stage design for structural integrity, functional logic, and manufacturability. This includes initial calculations, load estimations, material selection, and tolerance planning.
2. 3D CAD Modelling
Our engineers create detailed 3D CAD models that serve as the foundation for prototyping, simulation, and production. We use industry-standard software like SolidWorks, Siemens NX, and Fusion 360 to ensure compatibility with your manufacturing partners.
3. Mechanical Component Design
We design enclosures, mechanisms, internal frames, joints, locking systems, fasteners, and custom mechanical components. Every detail is developed with assembly ease, cost-efficiency, and user experience in mind.
4. Material & Manufacturing Strategy
We align your design with appropriate materials—metals, polymers, composites—and manufacturing techniques based on cost, durability, and environmental factors. Our network includes local Australian suppliers and offshore partners.
5. Technical Documentation
We produce full manufacturing documentation, including:
2D technical drawings
Exploded views and assembly guides
Tolerance and GD&T callouts
BOMs (Bill of Materials)
Revision control documents
6. Design for Manufacture (DFM)
Our engineering team works closely with local manufacturers to reduce production challenges. We optimise your product design for machining, moulding, bending, welding, and assembly—ensuring a seamless handoff to production.
7. Compliance & Safety
Products designed for the Australian market must comply with national standards. We help identify and design for AS/NZS codes, electrical and thermal safety, structural limits, and regulatory labelling.
Specialised CAD Services
We offer advanced CAD modelling services tailored to both simple and complex projects.
Parametric Design: Allows for easy modification of dimensions, relationships, and configurations.
Assemblies & Sub-Assemblies: Large assembly management with motion studies, interference checks, and exploded views.
Surfacing & Organic Modelling: For complex curves, ergonomic shapes, and design aesthetics.
3D Rendering & Animation: Communicate your product visually to clients, stakeholders, or investors.
What Sets Us Apart in Australia?

Why Us ?
At Oxta Design Australia, we don’t just design products — we engineer bold, meaningful solutions through a structured, collaborative approach. Our phased process transforms your initial idea into a refined, market-ready innovation designed to thrive in the Australian and global markets.
01. Collaborate
True innovation begins with collaboration. At Oxta Design Australia, we believe strong partnerships are built on trust, openness, and shared vision. We integrate with your team from the outset through dynamic workshops and ongoing discussions to unpack your goals and pinpoint areas where design can truly make a difference.
02. Immerse
We dig deep into user needs, industry context, and behavioural insights through multi-dimensional research. Whether it's ethnographic observation, stakeholder interviews, or macro trend analysis, we gather the insights needed to design for people — not just products.
03. Create
With insights in hand, we move into concept development. Here we translate strategy into form — exploring multiple design directions and narratives that reflect your brand values and resonate with your audience. Visual storytelling through expressive sketches, CAD mockups, and early models ensures every idea is grounded in feasibility and inspiration.
04. Refine
We take promising concepts and evolve them into robust, engineered solutions. Our industrial designers and mechanical engineers collaborate to iterate, prototype, and test every detail. From CAD development to full CMF (colour, material, finish) refinement and physical rig testing — nothing is left to chance.
05. Deliver
When your product is ready for launch, we make sure it's ready for real-world production. We work with trusted Australian and global manufacturers to bring your product to life at scale — managing everything from tooling and compliance to visual assets for investors, trade shows, and product launch campaigns.
Support
Our partnership doesn't end at delivery. We continue to provide post-launch support, technical guidance, and iteration assistance based on market feedback. Whether it’s scaling production, updating designs, or assisting with marketing materials — we’re here to back your success long-term.
