Welcome to the latest Frewer Engineering newsletter.

This month’s edition showcases how we bridge the gap between simulation and reality through design & analysis plus, a look at Graeme’s journey in the London Marathon Walk!

From Simulation to Reality: Accelerating Innovation with Design, Analysis & Rapid Prototyping

As the requirements for performance are pushed to further heights the engineering solutions required become increasingly novel and complex. Producing prototypes provides our customers with reassurance and hard evidence that the novel designs fulfil their requirements whilst maintain strict timescale. 
 
Our agile, multi-disciplined team can quickly onboard onto projects and begin concepting solutions. Our designs are assessed using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) or utilising our in house bespoke analytical methods. The design is then expeditiously driven from the down selected concept through to detailed design.
 
We work closely with our partnered manufacturers to swiftly produce both metallic and composite components. The manufacturers work to detailed manufacturing drawings and CAD models all produced at Frewer Engineering, allowing us to provide full project support from initial concept to manufactured part. At Frewer Engineering, we pride ourselves on our ability to capture the problems our customers are facing and rapidly turn them into tangible solutions.

Bringing Engineering to Life with VR

At Frewer Engineering, we use Virtual Reality (VR) technology to transform complex engineering systems and data into immersive, interactive experiences. Whether it’s operational access, assessing maintenance feasibility, visualising CFD simulations, or structural analysis results, VR allows us to visualize and communicate highly detailed engineering insights in a way that’s both intuitive and impactful.
 
By stepping into a virtual environment, our engineers and clients can explore results in three dimensions, gaining a deeper understanding of feasible access, airflow patterns, stress distributions, and system interactions. This capability enhances collaboration, improves decision-making, and ensures that even the most intricate analyses are easily understood by all stakeholders.

Graeme Takes on the London Marathon Walk!

We’re proud to share that our Technical Authority – Structures, Graeme Anderson, recently took on the London Marathon Walk, covering an incredible 26.2 miles—all in support of Cancer Research UK. This endurance challenge wasn’t just a test of stamina but also a meaningful way to raise awareness and funds for a cause close to many hearts. 

The marathon walk took Graeme through some of London’s most famous landmarks, making for a scenic but demanding route. Walking a marathon is no small feat, requiring both physical and mental strength, and Graeme took on the challenge with unwavering dedication.
 
We’re all incredibly proud of his achievement and the impact he’s made by supporting Cancer Research UK.

Engineering Excellence: Tackling Society’s Most Complex Technological Challenges

The engineering team at Frewer Engineering specialise in rapidly mobilising onto projects that turn our customers’ most ambitious ideas into reality, helping them achieve their strategic goals. A prime example of this is our collaboration with the Whittle Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, where we played a key role in the design and analysis of a cutting-edge new test rig. This state-of-the-art facility enables researchers to rapidly test experimental single gas turbine engine stages, accelerating the development of high-efficiency and zero-emission propulsion technologies.
 
By integrating high-speed testing capabilities for Fans, Compressors, and Turbines up to TRL6, this rig represents a significant step forward in aerospace research. The Whittle Lab will be able to evaluate novel designs with unprecedented speed, driving innovation in next-generation propulsion systems that will help decarbonise aviation. This collaboration highlights Frewer Engineering’s ability to tackle the most technically demanding projects, delivering solutions that push the boundaries of engineering and sustainability.
