Helping farmers evolve innovative ideas into efficient solutions.
Practical Engineering Solutions by Farmers, for Farmers.
At 3volveD, we combine firsthand farming experience with mechanical engineering expertise to deliver practical, innovative solutions tailored for farmers. Understanding the challenges of modern agriculture, we offer services like virtual stress testing, detailed building plans, and design consultations to enhance efficiency and cut costs.

- Revisions: 1 revision (one consolidated change request).
- Turnaround: typically 2–4 working days.
Medium
£70 – £140
- Scope: up to 3 parts or complex profile; bends/flat-pattern notes if relevant.

Large
£150 – £300
- Scope: multi-part kit / ambiguous fit-up / multiple mounting options.
- Includes: DXFs + simple layout plan + part ID scheme.
- Revisions: 1 revision (one consolidated change request).
- Turnaround: confirmed after a quick scope check.
- Note: Discovery may be required if measurements are incomplete.
How we confirm the tier: Package tier depends on complexity and the quality of measurements supplied. We confirm the tier and price before starting work.
Complexity includes: number of parts, unclear fit-up, multiple mounting options, or missing dimensions.
Add-ons: Extra revision • Measurement call / on-site measurement • Fast-track turnaround

- Revisions: 1 revision.
- Turnaround: typically 3–6 working days.
Medium
£130 – £245
- Includes: DXFs + drawings for multiple parts + simple BOM/cut list.
- Outputs: DXFs + PDFs + BOM.
- Revisions: 1 revision.
- Turnaround: typically 5–10 working days.
Large
£280 – £525
- Includes: multi-part kit + drawings + BOM + basic assembly notes.
- Outputs: DXFs + PDFs + BOM + layout/assembly notes.
- Revisions: 1 revision.
- Turnaround: confirmed after scope check / Discovery.
How we confirm the tier: We agree the tier and price before starting. Missing dimensions or unclear fit-up may require Discovery.
Add-ons: Extra revision • Measurement call / on-site measurement • Fast-track turnaround
Small
£80 – £200
- Includes: fabrication pack + basic stress check and a short summary.

£210 – £400
- Includes: kit + stress check + optimisation pass (where worthwhile).
- Outputs: DXFs + drawings + check summary.
- Revisions: 1 design iteration included.
- Turnaround: typically 10–15 working days.
Large
£500 – £980
- Includes: higher uncertainty / higher load risk work — scoped via Discovery.
- Outputs: DXFs + drawings + check summary + assumptions list.
- Revisions: agreed in Discovery.
- Turnaround: confirmed after Discovery.
Important: Stress checks rely on assumptions and customer-provided load/use information. We confirm scope, assumptions, and price before starting.
Add-ons: Extra design iteration • Measurement call • Fast-track turnaround

What we can do.
Problem-Solving Solutions
Our engineering expertise allows us to tackle a wide range of farming challenges. We provide customised solutions for your problem, aiming to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, and increase productivity.
Drawings and Cut Lists
We create detailed engineering drawings, cut lists, and building plans so you can source competitive pricing from different manufacturers. Accurate instructions mean you build with less time and waste.
Design Consultation
Expert design consultation creating 3D CAD models of existing designs or new ideas to optimise your farm’s operations. Often paired with stress simulations and detailed drawings/cut lists.
Stress Simulations
Virtual stress testing to identify weaknesses and reduce material waste. Prevent costly failures and improve durability before you build by assessing designs under realistic load scenarios.
