At Motovated, we deliver expert mechanical design services to clients across New Zealand and around the globe. With over 20 years in the industry, we combine deep technical knowledge with hands-on engineering experience to bring your ideas to life — from concept through to analysis, design, and manufacture.
Our team of engineers are handpicked for their specialist skill sets, offering not just design expertise, but robust engineering analysis and project support from start to finish. They challenge themselves to solve any engineering challenge, regardless of nature, by following the systematic and rigorous engineering problem solving process.
Explore our specialised mechanical analysis capabilities — from Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to advanced functional modelling with MathCAD and more.
With over two decades of experience in business, our engineers bring together deep technical expertise, multi-CAD fluency, and hands-on product development knowledge. We don’t just run simulations — we solve real engineering problems with agile, results-focused methods like Better by Analysis® and Minimum Viable Simulation®.
Whether you’re refining a product, accelerating your time to market, or minimising design risk, our streamlined processes are built to maximise ROI and deliver outcomes that are innovative, compliant, and ready to manufacture.
These projects are just a glimpse of how we can help — let’s talk about your next engineering challenge.
