ENGINEERING ‘FROM DREAM TO SCHEME’

World-class R&D for Early-Stage Mechanical & Systems Engineering

With complex new projects, getting to “TRL-4” is a time challenge…

…Narrow skillsets require new or external support…

…New parts take weeks to make and get right…

…And each iteration gets bogged down in process…

At Bracey R&D Ltd, we however offer a one-stop shop for development.

We turn big engineering challenges into elegant, tested solutions, fast.

Our services include:

  • Design & Analysis

    • Invention and Concept Development

    • Expert Design Review

    • Engineering Calculations

    • Finite Element Analysis (non-linear vibration, advanced materials)

    • Computational Fluid Dynamics (transonic aero, vacuum, combined thermal)

    Product Definition

    • 3D Modelling / Technical Drawings / GD&T

    • DFM / DFA / FMEA

    • Rapid Redesign

    Manufacture & Test

    • Low-Volume Manufacture (Turning, Welding, Additive, Laser Cutting)

    • Bench Testing / Instrumentation / Datalogging

    • Microprocessors / Analogue Design.

T. C. R. Bracey – Director & Engineering Lead

MEng (Cantab) CEng MIMechE

Tristram is a Cambridge-educated Chartered Mechanical Engineer with over 17 years’ industrial experience in the design and development of micro-turbomachinery, vacuum systems, and high-temperature technologies.

Drawing on a background that includes multiple ongoing start-ups, world-class industrial R&D, and consultancy, he combines deep analytical expertise with hands-on design and fabrication capability. This approach has produced many successful complex prototypes, and has helped raised tens of millions of pounds in investment over the past decade.

As founder of Bracey R&D, Tristram integrates the full R&D cycle — from concept modelling and design through to prototype manufacture and testing — within a single, agile service that can also integrate seamlessly into larger design teams.

This end-to-end approach enables rapid progress through early-stage development, with the technical depth and professionalism required to align projects for investment and production.
