Mechanical engineering at outerspace focuses on precision design, detailed CAD development, and practical engineering for performance, usability, and reliability. We design mechanisms, enclosures, and assemblies that meet technical, ergonomic, aesthetic, and commercial goals.
We take product concepts and engineer every component to function reliably and be produced efficiently.
We define product architecture, materials, and manufacturing processes early in the design cycle. Using SolidWorks and simulation tools, our team develops detailed CAD, performs tolerance and stress analysis, and creates test plans to validate performance.
We collaborate closely with suppliers, manufacturers, and our clients’ engineering teams to ensure design intent is maintained through prototyping and testing while meeting BOM and COGS targets.

A developer of interactive fitness equipment with integrated gaming software, needed to develop a new combination spin and exercise bike for the boutique gymnasium and home gym markets.
They wanted to develop a never-seen-before bike that had two distinct modes of operation – spin and exercise bike mode to be housed in one hardware system, operated by a touch screen and supported by their software.
Outerspace’s multidisciplinary team worked with the managing director of LRM Technologies and researchers at DST Group, to design the 1mK thermal camera that quantifies the stresses that cause metal fatigue in aircraft. LRM, a distributor of lasers and thermal imaging cameras, own the licence to apply Defence Science and Technology group software to a thermal camera product idea. LRM’s managing director had a very clear idea about what the DST Group technology could achieve and needed a clear product roadmap to a successful physical product outcome. Outerspace collaborated with LRM and DST Group to clearly identify and plan the product format and pathway needed to create this revolutionary thermal camera.
Many communities in remote regions lack reliable access to clean drinking water, relying instead on unsafe or expensive systems. Water Source Australia set out to change this with Brolga, a remote-controlled micro water treatment plant designed to provide safe, continuous drinking water anywhere in the world.
Outerspace partnered with Water Source to take an early-stage prototype and transform it into a manufacturable product. Our role included developing the architecture, electronics, firmware, and mechanical systems, while working closely with Water Source’s software and water treatment experts. Together, we shaped a system capable of producing up to 30,000 litres of safe drinking water a day, suitable for installation in the toughest environments.
