Mechanical engineering services
DATUM X Engineering delivers plant & process engineering and machine & detail design for industrial clients in Europe and North America. You work directly with the two senior engineers who do the work.
Plant & process · Machine & detail design
Services
Hand over a single drawing or a complete machine. The work follows your CAD standards, templates and PDM structure.
Plant layouts, equipment arrangements and process system design, from concept studies through to installation drawings and support on site.
AVEVA E3D · AutoCAD Mechanical · Navisworks
Machine and equipment design, 3D modelling and manufacturing drawings, with full engineering change control and BOMs set up for your PDM.
SolidWorks · Inventor · AutoCAD
Static structural simulation of machine parts and frames, delivered as a report you can put in front of a reviewer.
SolidWorks Simulation · Ansys · MathCAD
Lattice towers for 110 kV and 380 kV lines, detailed with every document the fabricator needs.
Advance Steel · AutoCAD
Independent review of drawings and BOMs before they go to manufacturing — the same four-eyes gate we run on our own work.
Your PDM · M-Files · SmarTeam · YAPLM
As-built 3D models built from the point cloud you send us, ready to design new equipment into an existing plant.
SolidWorks · AutoCAD
Work
Our clients' drawings and models stay confidential, so the work below is described by industry, scale and scope. Illustrations are schematic.
New large-scale pulp mill · South America
Lead plant engineer for all eight baling lines in the OEM’s scope, coordinating the mechanical, civil and electrical interfaces across the layout.
Plant layout · GA, foundation, safety and cable-route drawings · interface coordination
Plant & Process
Rolling-stock programme · Germany
Exterior front section and driver’s desk with an integrated sunshade, modelled to manufacturing-ready detail for a new commuter-train fleet.

Machine & Detail 2024–26
Delivered to a mill in China
Full ownership of a machine of roughly 300 individual components — from first concept model through supervision of in-house manufacturing to final assembly.
3D model · production drawings · manufacturing supervision · assembly
Machine & Detail 2021
Waste-monitoring technology company · Germany
As-built 3D model of a waste bunker built from the point cloud supplied by the client, used to position camera and sensor hardware.
Point cloud to 3D model · mounting hardware for permanent outdoor service
Machine & Detail 2026
Baling-line OEM · Sweden
Two-strand conveyor on a rotating base, with one gear motor driving the strands and a second turning the table.
3D model · production drawings · bill of materials
Machine & Detail
Airport retail unit · Switzerland
Timber kiosk modelled in 3D from the architect’s 2D drawings, then fitted with RC2 rolling grilles in stainless steel mesh, with drive and motor boxes.
3D model · shop drawings · clearance dimensions for the timber builder
Machine & Detail 2026
New large-scale pulp mill · South America
Machine design for more than 100 conveyors and the baling-line machines across four lines, for a mill due to start up in 2027.
Tissue mill · Finland
Machine design for the dewiring and pulping line, from concept models to released drawings.
Pulp mill · New Zealand
Plant layout for a baling line, rated best execution by the project manager despite a major mid-project scope change.
Pulp mill · Finland
On site during installation of a new baling line, interpreting layouts and resolving fit questions directly with the installation crew.
Flash drying line · Sweden
Design engineer on a fibre flash dryer, delivering the models and the released drawing set.
Baling-line OEM · Sweden
Folding machine for a baling line, modelled and detailed for production.
Steel-mill handling OEM · Sweden
The door of a compactor, with its cylinder and linkage.
Private timber building
Model of a sloped-roof timber building with a roller door and its 400 × 440 mm box mounted level, with clearance dimensions for the builder.
Steel-mill handling OEM · India, Italy, Bangladesh
Core design engineer on three of the OEM’s largest projects — handling equipment for hot-rolled coils up to 900 °C, at 50–72 s cycle times and 100–150 t/h.
Steel fabricator
Detailing of high-voltage lattice towers in Advance Steel, with every document the fabricator needs to cut and build.
Structural analysis
Static simulations of machine parts and frames in SolidWorks Simulation or Ansys, delivered as a report. One example in three steps — the frame of a strapping unit.
Step 01
The unit at full stroke, fixed at surfaces A and B, with a strap force of 21 kN.
Step 02
Solid mesh of the frame: 26,118 elements and 49,604 nodes.
Step 03
Resultant displacement of 0.92 mm at most. The deformation is drawn 121 times larger.
Why DATUM X
01
You work directly with the two co-owners, not a chain of account managers. The engineer who models the part is the engineer you talk to.
02
Documentation prepared to ISO and ASME conventions, in your CAD standards, templates and PDM structure — ready for your shop floor or supplier.
03
A four-eyes review before anything is released. Our own designs are independently checked to the same gate we apply to a client’s drawing set.
04
Clear scopes, regular reviews and fast turnaround from the CET time zone — the same working day as Scandinavia and Central Europe.
Team
You work directly with the engineer who makes and checks the drawings.
Co-Owner
Senior Plant & Process Manager
Twelve years of plant layout engineering for industrial clients, from equipment arrangement and 3D plant models to foundation, safety, electrical and cable-route drawings. Lead plant engineer on new-build pulp mill projects, coordinating mechanical, civil and electrical interfaces, with structural validation in Ansys.
Co-Owner
Senior Machine & Detail Design Manager
Thirteen years of machine design for the pulp and paper industry — conveyors, dewiring equipment, destackers and flash drying systems. Final approver of 3D models, drawings and BOMs released to production by a team of five engineers since 2017, under a four-eyes process.
Judge the work on your own machine. A pilot task takes 20 to 40 hours and is checked against your standard.
A part, an assembly or a sketch, with your drawing standard and templates. Your NDA is signed before anything is sent.
A fixed scope of 20 to 40 hours, agreed in writing before work starts.
The 3D model, drawings and BOM arrive in your formats. If they pass your review, we continue by the hour or by the project.
