Mechanical systems
Concept exploration, proof-of-principle mechanisms, motion studies and practical design reviews.
Independent engineering research
Wave Research & Development works on mechanical, electromechanical and material-led technologies using rapid prototyping, supplier collaboration and evidence-driven testing.
Concept exploration, proof-of-principle mechanisms, motion studies and practical design reviews.
Evaluation of compact actuators, electronics, drivers, repeatability, noise and power behaviour.
Prototype coupons, material comparison, measurement plans and structured validation before full integration.
Our approach
We prioritise simple experiments that answer important engineering questions quickly. Designs are developed through controlled tests, clear decision logs and measurable outcomes rather than assumptions.
