Concept design
We capture requirements, operating conditions, target cost and production quantity, then develop and compare mechanism and layout concepts before committing to detail.

Mechanical Design & CAD Services
Aarianantha Solutions turns rough ideas, sketches and problem statements into complete mechanical designs: concepts, 3D CAD models, assemblies and production drawings that a workshop can actually build. We work with founders, small manufacturers, agricultural machinery makers and product teams across Kerala and India.
What’s included
What our mechanical design service covers
Mechanism design
Linkages, cams, gears, chain and belt drives, rotary-to-linear motion, folding and sliding mechanisms, sized for the motion, load and life your product needs.
3D CAD modelling
Parametric part and assembly models, interference checks, motion studies and exploded views, organised for easy revisions later.
Production drawings
Fully dimensioned 2D drawings with tolerances, fits, GD&T where needed, material and finish callouts, and welding symbols for fabricated parts.
Bill of materials
Structured BOMs with standard parts such as bearings, fasteners and motors specified by catalogue number, so purchasing is straightforward.
Design review & redesign
Already have a design or an existing machine? We review it for strength, wear, manufacturability and cost, and redesign the weak points.
Design for manufacture
Designed for the shop floor, not just the screen.
A good-looking CAD model is not the goal. A part that fits, lasts and can be made at the right cost is. Every design is checked against these points before drawings are released.
- Manufacturability (DFM)Processes and tolerances that local fabricators and machine shops can actually hold.
- Assembly (DFA)Fewer parts, a clear assembly sequence, and no fasteners that can’t be reached.
- Strength and lifeLoads, vibration, wear and fatigue checked at the critical points.
- ServiceabilityParts that wear can be inspected and replaced in the field.
- CostStandard sections, sheet sizes and bought-out parts wherever possible.
Process
How a design project runs
Understand
Requirements, constraints, target cost, operating conditions and quantity.
Concept
Two or three options compared, then one direction agreed with you.
Detail
Full 3D CAD, calculations and design reviews at agreed checkpoints.
Release & support
Drawings, BOM and files your vendors need, plus support through prototype and production.
Industries & recent work
Where we design.
Products designed and developed in-house include:
- Precise rotary-to-linear mechanism: an economical way to hold a straight-line stroke.
- Seed Pellet System: biodegradable seedling pellets and a manual press (patent pending).
- Smarty Boy: a lift-top coffee table with storage, charging and lighting.
- Agricultural and farm machinery
- Industrial machinery and machine components
- Jigs, fixtures and workholding
- Sheet metal and fabricated assemblies
- Consumer and hardware products
- Mechanised furniture and interiors
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you start from just a sketch or an idea?
Yes. Many projects start with a hand sketch, a photo of an existing machine, or a verbal description. We capture the requirements and constraints first, then develop concepts before moving to detailed CAD.
What files do I receive at the end?
Typically native 3D CAD files, neutral formats such as STEP, 2D production drawings in PDF and DWG/DXF, a bill of materials, and exploded or assembly views. The exact deliverables are agreed at the start.
Do you work with clients outside Kerala?
Yes. Design work is done digitally and reviewed over calls and shared files, so we work with clients across India. Clients near Thrissur can also meet in person and arrange prototype trials locally.
Will the design be ready for manufacturing?
Yes. Designs are checked for manufacturability, assembly, standard parts and realistic tolerances, so the drawings can go directly to fabricators, machine shops or vendors.
Who owns the design files?
Ownership and confidentiality are agreed in writing before work begins. We are happy to sign an NDA for new product development.
