Make or break? It's all about the component compatibilty
When designing modern machines and technical equipment selecting the right components and sub-systems requires the consideration of many factors; some more obvious than others. Gerard Bush of INMOCO offers some insight into the process.Engineering designers usually start a project knowing what they want their machine or equipment to achieve; naturally to working backwards from there to get an idea for an initial concept design.
