SketchArt Engineering is a mechanical design company based in Latvia. We help engineering companies, manufacturers and plant operators that need additional design resources or a team to handle a complete project. Our engineers prepare 3D CAD models, calculations, manufacturing drawings and bills of materials. We work with companies that have no in-house designers and teams that need extra support.

Mechanical Design and Engineering Services

Since 2015, we have worked on conveyors, bulk material handling equipment, steel structures and industrial platforms. We develop designs from client concepts, modify existing equipment and prepare the drawings and files needed for manufacturing. Depending on the assignment, we follow your existing CAD setup, drawing templates and revision procedures. You can involve us for a specific task, a complete project or ongoing engineering support.

Why Work With SketchArt Engineering

Most of our clients are engineers themselves — so we skip the sales pitch and get straight to the technical details. Here is what working with us actually looks like:

  • Production-Ready 3D Models: We create detailed 3D CAD models for machinery, frames, and conveyors, with component interfaces and assembly arrangements reviewed before drawings are issued.

  • Practical Mechanical Calculations: We assess stresses and deflections under agreed loads to support design decisions. Our internal FEA does not provide certified sign-off.

  • Clear Manufacturing Documentation: You get a complete package of technical drawings, including BOMs and weld symbols, so your workshop knows exactly what to build.

  • Smart File Preparation: We provide all necessary files in the formats you need (DWG, STEP, DXF, PDF), ready for CNC laser cutting, bending, or manual fabrication.

  • 11+ Years of Industrial Know-How: We don’t just “draw”—we understand the real-world requirements of mining, grain processing, and bulk handling environments.

  • Direct In-House Support: We can work as a remote extension of your office or come to your facility for on-site design reviews and project coordination.

  • Reduced Project Risk: By using standard components and proven design methods, we help you avoid costly mistakes and reduce overall assembly time.

  • Material Optimization: We design with manufacturing costs in mind, choosing profiles and sheet layouts that reduce waste without losing strength.

  • Reliable Communication: You work directly with your project engineer to clarify requirements, review progress and agree how changes affect the design and delivery dates.
