Everything you need to understand how machine design outsourcing works, what services a specialist offshore engineering firm delivers, and how to evaluate a remote engineering partner for your project.
Get Your Free Engineering Consultation Explore All ServicesGlobal Machine Design Services is a Vietnam-based remote mechanical engineering firm with over 10 years of industrial design experience. Founded in 2026, the firm delivers machine design, Autodesk Inventor modeling, FEA simulation, conveyor engineering, lifting system design, and manufacturing documentation to manufacturers across Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia-Pacific.
The engineering team's core capability is Autodesk Inventor, used for complex multi-component assemblies, sheet metal design, weldments, design automation via iLogic, and manufacturing documentation management through Autodesk Vault.

Industry Reference: Computer-Aided Design (Wikipedia) Learn about CAD technology, how it is used in industrial machine design, and its role in modern manufacturing processes.Remote mechanical engineering covers a wider range of services than many manufacturers expect. Here is what a specialist offshore firm like GMD Engineering delivers as core practice.
End-to-end design from functional brief through to production-ready manufacturing documentation. Includes concept modeling, detailed 3D assembly in Autodesk Inventor, and a complete drawing package.
Complex assembly design, sheet metal, weldments, iLogic automation scripts, and Vault-integrated document control. Parametric models that update correctly through design revision cycles.
Structural validation using Inventor Stress Analysis. Motion simulation for mechanisms and automated systems. Safety factor confirmation before manufacturing drawings are released.
Belt, roller, chain, and screw conveyor design with engineering calculations for load, belt pull, drive selection, and frame deflection. Standards alignment for target market confirmed at project start.
Gantries, hoists, scissor lifts, and below-the-hook devices. Structural analysis included. Standards applied per target market: EN for Europe, ASME B30 for North America, AS 1418 for Australia.
Fully toleranced 2D drawings, GD&T annotations, assembly drawings, integrated BOM, and technical documentation. Files produced directly from the 3D Inventor model for dimensional consistency.
Remote engineering follows a structured four-stage process. Each stage has a defined output and a client review point before the next stage begins. Here is how each phase works in practice.
The client provides the functional requirement: what the machine must do, the product or material it handles, throughput or capacity requirements, space constraints, integration requirements, and applicable standards for the target market. The engineering team returns a requirements confirmation document before any design work begins.
Initial 3D layout in Autodesk Inventor showing machine configuration, component positions, and overall envelope. The client reviews and approves the concept before detailed design begins. Changes at concept stage are straightforward and low cost, which is exactly why this gate exists.
Full parametric assembly with all components modeled, sized, and constrained. FEA and motion simulation performed where structural or kinematic validation is required. Client design review on the 3D model takes place before drawing production begins.
Fully toleranced 2D drawings, assembly drawings, integrated BOM, and technical documentation. All files are delivered in a structured package ready for the manufacturing team without further formatting work on the client side.
Not all remote engineering firms deliver at the same level. Here is a practical checklist for manufacturers selecting an offshore engineering partner.
