One partner for physical and digital automation

rawdev combines mechanical engineering, robotics, sensors, electrical systems, artificial intelligence, and software development. This allows us to create solutions in which hardware and software are designed as one integrated system.

From concept to prototype

Development, integration, testing, and validation from a single source.

Hardware meets software

Robots, sensors, electronics, data processing, and user interfaces work together.

Built for real applications

Practical solutions designed around actual production processes and technical requirements.

Faster development through in-house production

Custom parts can be designed, manufactured, tested, and revised directly within the project, reducing coordination effort between mechanical design, electronics, robotics, and software.

Five disciplines, one integrated delivery

Designed, manufactured, and integrated in-house

rawdev designs and manufactures custom mechanical components for prototypes, robotic systems, automation equipment, sensor setups, and technical products. By combining CAD, CNC milling, and high-quality 3D printing, components can be developed, tested, improved, and integrated without long external development loops.

CAD model shown alongside the manufactured component it produced
01

Requirement analysis

Define mechanical, functional, environmental, and integration requirements.

02

CAD design

Develop the component with the surrounding system, assembly, and manufacturing process in mind.

03

Method selection

Choose CNC milling, 3D printing, or a combination depending on material, geometry, accuracy, strength, and use.

04

Production

Manufacture the component in-house.

05

Testing and iteration

Validate fit, function, stiffness, accessibility, and integration.

06

System integration

Install the component into the robot, machine, test setup, sensor system, or customer application.

Method

CNC Milling

CNC milling is used for precise and durable mechanical components, adapters, fixtures, brackets, housings, and prototypes, designed specifically for the surrounding assembly and manufactured according to the application's functional requirements.
