DESIGN IT BEFORE YOU CUT IT.

Motorsport engineering and design for components, systems and packaging problems that need to work in the real car — not just on the screen.

FUNCTION FIRST

SOLVE THE PROBLEM BEFORE MAKING THE PART.

Good engineering starts with the actual requirement. Packaging, loads, interfaces, manufacturing, service access and the way the vehicle is used all shape the final solution.

ENGINEERING CAPABILITIES

FROM CONCEPT TO MANUFACTURE.

Dorifab can develop individual components, solve packaging problems and support larger systems where design and fabrication need to meet cleanly.

01

CAD & COMPONENT DESIGN

TURN THE REQUIREMENT INTO GEOMETRY.

Development of custom motorsport components around function, interfaces, packaging and the way the part will actually be manufactured.

02

PACKAGING & SYSTEM LAYOUT

MAKE EVERYTHING FIT BEFORE IT FIGHTS FOR SPACE.

Resolve component placement, clearances, access and interfaces before fabrication or installation makes the layout expensive to change.

03

DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURE

DESIGN THE PART YOU CAN ACTUALLY BUILD.

Develop parts with material, process, tooling, assembly and fabrication requirements considered from the beginning.

04

MOUNTS & INTERFACES

CONNECT THE PARTS CLEANLY.

Engineering of brackets, mounts, adapters and interfaces where fit, load path, packaging and service access all matter.

05

SYSTEM DESIGN

LOOK PAST THE SINGLE COMPONENT.

Design support for assemblies and vehicle systems where several components must work together rather than being treated in isolation.

06

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

ITERATE UNTIL THE SOLUTION MAKES SENSE.

Refine existing concepts or components when the first version needs better packaging, manufacturability, serviceability or integration.

DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

DESIGNED AROUND THE REAL CONSTRAINTS.

The objective is not to create the most complicated part. It is to create the right part, with the geometry, interfaces and manufacturing decisions resolved before it reaches the car.

01

DEFINE THE REQUIREMENT

Establish what the component or system must do, what it connects to and the constraints that cannot be ignored.

02

RESOLVE THE PACKAGING

Work through dimensions, clearances, movement, access and surrounding components before committing to the geometry.

03

DESIGN FOR THE PROCESS

Shape the solution around the material and manufacturing method so the design can move cleanly from CAD into a real part.

04

REVIEW THE INTERFACES

Check mounting, assembly, service access and how the finished component interacts with the rest of the vehicle.

DESIGN OUTPUT

USEFUL OUTPUT, NOT JUST PRETTY CAD.

The required output depends on the job. Some projects need a finished manufactured part; others need design data or documentation that can move into the next stage.

01

3D CAD MODELS

COMPONENT / ASSEMBLY DATA

Digital component and assembly geometry developed around the agreed engineering scope.

02

MANUFACTURING DRAWINGS

DIMENSIONS / DETAILS / OUTPUT

Drawings and manufacturing information where the project requires controlled dimensions or clear production data.

03

FABRICATION-READY DESIGN

DESIGN INTO HARD PARTS

Engineering developed with the fabrication method, material and assembly sequence considered so the part can move into production cleanly.

04

FINISHED COMPONENTS

DESIGN + MANUFACTURE

Where appropriate, Dorifab can carry the engineered solution through into a finished fabricated or manufactured component.

WHEN ENGINEERING HELPS

WHEN GUESSING GETS EXPENSIVE.

Engineering is most useful when the project has real constraints, multiple interfaces or a part that needs to be developed before fabrication or manufacture begins.

NOTHING OFF THE SHELF FITS

The vehicle needs a purpose-built component or interface because available parts do not solve the packaging or functional requirement.

SEVERAL PARTS SHARE THE SAME SPACE

Packaging is becoming the problem and the component layout needs to be resolved before more fabrication or installation happens.

A CONCEPT NEEDS TO BECOME MANUFACTURABLE

You know what the solution needs to do but the geometry, material, interfaces or production method still need to be worked through.

THE FIRST VERSION NEEDS IMPROVEMENT

An existing part works in principle but needs better fit, access, strength, assembly or integration before the next version is made.

ENGINEERING ENQUIRY

SHOW US WHAT NEEDS SOLVING.

Send through the vehicle or project, the problem, what already exists and what you need at the end of the job.
