How we engineer
Four principles we design by.
01
Right first time
We correlate models to test data, then iterate virtually so the design passes its standard before parts are made.
Ceiling-fan CFD: 90+% correlation with physical tests02
Lighter, with proof
We take weight out only where the analysis shows the safety margin stays intact.
Motor housing: up to 10% lighter with a similar factor of safety03
Simpler beats added parts
We look for geometry and layout changes before adding mechanisms, mass or parts.
Crane stability solved with an articulated-joint design, not added counterweight04
Designed for total cost of ownership
We weigh installation, operation and service effort, not just part cost.
Stacker reclaimer: commissioning work time reduced by two thirds

Why Timetooth
Selectively hired, continuously trained engineers.
We hire selectively and train continuously, and low turnover means the engineers who learn your product stay on it. Teams bring us in when projects stack up, when they need expertise they don't have in house, or simply to augment their own group.
Selective hiring
Highly trained engineers, with continuous training across design, simulation and test, led by a co-founder who previously led multibody simulation applications at Altair.
Deep specialist bench
Specialists in FEA, CFD, multibody dynamics, NVH and mechanical design, who work in your CAD, solver and report template wherever possible.
Low turnover
A steady pipeline of work keeps the team together, so the engineers who learn your product stay on it. Catch issues in simulation before you pay for prototypes and retests.
Certified processes
AS9100D (including ISO 9001:2015) and ISO 13485 certified quality management. Member of NAFEMS, including technical working groups building multiphysics and multibody benchmark collections.
