RESULTS IN NUMBERS

What prototype sourcing has delivered

Prototype cost 80% lower −200 million yen / listed prime-market manufacturer
Prototype lead time 1month shorter by changing suppliers and processes
Injection-moulded prototypes 50parts sourced together across several suppliers

Simple × Tech ── Simptech

Making the complicated Simple.

Making a company lean means cutting away what is not needed. Design, prototype sourcing, disclosure — all of them can be made as complicated as you like.

We do the opposite.

SERVICE

What we do

Mechanical design outsourcing

── for development teams at established manufacturers

We bring a viewpoint from outside your company into your new development. Options that were hard to raise internally, precisely because they meet the design requirements, we can put on the table.

Details →

Prototype sourcing

── for small manufacturers and startups without a prototype shop

We take it from choosing the supplier through to delivery. We use the competitive suppliers that large manufacturers rely on, which brings both cost and schedule down.

Details →

Custom tool development

── for teams repeating the same calculation, the same check

Calculators and working tools that carry your own in-house standards — in a browser, as a Windows or macOS desktop application, or as an Office add-in. The five calculators we publish are the working sample.

Details →

Data conversion (STEP and drawings → SOLIDWORKS)

── for design teams with history-less STEP files, or parts that exist only as 2D drawings

We rebuild STEP files and 2D drawings as editable SOLIDWORKS models with a feature history — parts and assemblies, in large batches. Our mechanical design engineers build each model, comparing it with the original as they go.

Details →

Decarbonization support (Ecobene)

── for companies whose CDP score has stopped improving

We support your CDP and TCFD responses, and build the in-house capability to run them yourself from the following year.

Details (ecobene.jp, in Japanese) →

The calculations we use in our own design work are published as free mechanical engineering calculators.
Beam deflection and bending stress / bolted joints (preload and bearing pressure) / compression coil springs / slider-crank mechanisms / toggle mechanisms — five of them, no sign-up, usable right away.

CASE
