Meccanica provides multi-discipline engineering services in both traditional and emerging markets.

As an embedded Defence and Space supplier, Meccanica provides both OEM and sub-contractor based engineering services. This includes machining of cost sensitive precision components to critical delivery schedules.

Meccanica employs a tailored balance of analytical and technology based practices to achieve an effective engineering solution. A range of complementary software tools enable collaborative and efficient product optimisation.

Recent projects completed by Meccanica include:

• Mechanical and thermal design, manufacture and integration of a cryogenic Teledyne H4RG and avalanche photodiode (APD) compatible detector mount with better than 1mK temperature stability at 70K,
• Magnesium alloy vibration test fixtures,
• Mechanical and thermal design, manufacture and integration of a cryogenic deformable mirror test facility with better than 0.1K thermal stability,
• Detailed design, assembly and testing of a cryogenic beam steering mirror with resolution better than 25nm, and
• Conceptual design of the largest multi-use thermal vacuum chamber in the southern hemisphere.

Meccanica develops processes for machining thin walled (<1mm thick) components, and components machined from Invar, titanium, TZM, and nitronic based alloys.
