Concept and product identity
Explore product form, proportions and enclosure divisions around the system layout and your company’s visual identity.
Industrial design for complex systems
Industrial design for machinery and equipment
Your system has a function. Design gives it a coherent form and defines how people approach, operate and maintain it. KiTech works with R&D teams on the enclosure, operator interaction and visual identity of complex physical products.
Let’s discuss your equipment ↗When to involve KiTech
- You are developing a new machine and need to bring its assemblies together as a coherent product.
- The mechanical system already exists and needs a designed enclosure that accommodates openings and service access.
- You are updating existing equipment or establishing a consistent design language across a product family.
What the work includes
Operation and service access
Develop the design around working areas, openings, doors and interfaces, in coordination with system requirements and your engineering team.
Design development for production
Refine product surfaces and enclosure parts, select materials and finishes, and coordinate with engineers and suppliers within the agreed project scope.
Working directly with your development team
- Define the users, operating environment, mechanical constraints and required deliverables together.
- Develop design alternatives and select a direction based on operation, structure and visual identity.
- Detail the selected direction and review it with the development team, using prototypes where needed.
You work directly with Kiril Gitman, an industrial designer and mechanical engineer. Mechanical design scope, responsibility for engineering validation and supplier roles are defined separately for each project.

Before we start
Can you work around existing mechanics?
Yes. We review assemblies, dimensions, openings and access requirements, then establish what can change and what must remain before developing the concept.
Can you provide outsourced mechanical design support for our R&D team?
Yes. Support can cover defined mechanical design tasks, SolidWorks modelling, enclosure parts and assemblies, or manufacturing preparation. We start with the task, existing models and interfaces with your team, then agree deliverables and responsibility for engineering checks and validation.
Does this include engineering the entire machine?
The focus is industrial design and enclosures in collaboration with your engineering team. Additional mechanical work and external expertise depend on the agreed scope.
What should we prepare for the first discussion?
A description of the system, its development stage, images or an existing model if shareable, and the design challenge you want to address. Sensitive information should only be shared under suitable arrangements.
Let’s discuss your equipment
Tell us what your company is developing, what already exists, the project stage and the design or mechanical task that needs support. No confidential files are needed for the first discussion.
