Projects
Few of many projects we've worked on.
Take a look at how we helped these two companies to achieve their desired result in product development. We've been working closely with these clients for a long time now, and there is many more projects under Non-Disclosure Agreements we can't talk too much about.

Linear motor suspension dyno
This suspension dyno was built around two 24 kW linear motors. Baldwin worked from the required machine performance and customer input into the mechanical concept, detailed design and support for the first build.
Starting point
Performance targets and customer requirements
Hardware

Prototype support and production startup
What Baldwin worked on
1
Set the mechanical layout around the required machine performance and the two linear motors.
2
Turn the customer requirements into a workable mechanical concept and packaging.
3
Develop and detail the mechanical parts needed for prototyping.
4
Stay involved through prototyping and the start of production.

Engineering of a hydraulic system
A customer operating at the highest level of motorsport had an idea to improve corner exit. Several possible solutions were considered, including a new version of an existing hydraulic device that required additional functionality.
There were multiple mechanical and hydraulic ideas for achieving this, but each had disadvantages: they were too heavy, too large, too complicated or raised concerns about durability. Working from a defined set of demands, Baldwin selected the two best options and started developing the concepts. During this process, the design that was initially least expected to succeed proved to be the better solution.
The resulting hydraulic device was used for a full racing season without issues.

•
Define the project demands and map the required functions.
•
Sketch, appraise and select the most suitable concepts.
•
Evaluate and modify the available packaging.
•
Perform all system calculations and FMEA analyses for the design.
•
Create the 3D models and perform FEM strength calculations to optimise the parts.
•
Produce detailed 2D drawings according to the customer’s standard.
•
Communicate with suppliers, team members and the test department.
•
Lead the project during the sourcing of prototype components.
Machine building · Diesel powered water pump
MPP diesel-powered water pump
My Parts Place needed a complete design for a diesel-powered water pump, with the major components already specified by the customer. Together, we studied existing machines on the market, defined clear design targets and developed the first sketches.
The design was then refined through FEM calculations and several design review meetings. From there, Baldwin created the final 3D models and production drawings. At the customer’s request, all purchased components were fully specified, excluding standard bolts, nuts and washers, with all ordering information compiled into a single PDF booklet.

On-budget delivery
The project was completed within the estimated hours, keeping development costs predictable.
Material optimisation
Combining functions across several parts reduced the total amount of material required and lowered weight and cost.
Streamlined sourcing
All procurement information was collected into one easy-to-use ordering booklet.
First-time fit
The machine was manufactured directly from the first set of drawings and assembled without issues. No redesign was required for the first build.
What Baldwin worked on
1
Study existing machines together with the customer and define clear design targets.
2
Develop the initial concepts and refine the design through several design reviews.
3
Use FEM calculations to support and optimise the detailed design.
4
Create the final 3D models and production drawings.
5
Fully specify purchased components and compile the procurement information into one ordering booklet.
