We start withthe physics.
Aetheler Dynamics is an independent technology company from Melbourne and the parent of the Aetheler group. Everything we make starts the same way: understand how it has to work, then design it.

Jim Jose
An engineer who takes products from a first sketch to the production line.
Jim has spent his career on the hard middle part of making things: turning an idea into a design that works, then into a part a factory can build every day. He has designed lab instruments, automated production lines and injection mould tooling, and he builds software that does the engineering maths so designers don't have to.
He holds a PhD in mechanical engineering, a degree in mechatronics and an MBA, so he works on the business case as well as the part.
- 15%shorter mould cycle time from automated cooling-channel design, in his PhD work
- 67%fewer manual design inputs with his parametric channel design tool
- 8 weeks to 1part lead time after he set up in-house 3D printing for a production line
- 500+ partsin the instrument assemblies he has designed end to end
From idea to production
The skills behind every Aetheler company.
- Product development
Concept to production for mechanical and electromechanical products, with design for manufacture built in.
- Computational design
Implicit and parametric modelling, and design tools that automate the repetitive engineering.
- Simulation
CFD and FEA, custom fast solvers and multi-objective optimisation to pick the best design.
- Manufacturing
Injection mould tooling, metal 3D printing, CNC and sheet metal, plus automotive-grade quality systems.
- Automation and software
Robotic test rigs, connected devices, AR training apps and web tools.
- Projects and partners
Running projects with universities, suppliers and customers from requirements to delivery.
