MECHANICAL ENGINEERING STUDIO
We design custom mechanical components, in carbon fiber or metal, and validate their behavior with finite element simulation. We follow the whole journey through to the finished part, lab-tested and delivered with its validation report.
A FEW FACTS ABOUT US
New component development, carbon-fiber lightweighting or reconstruction of components that no longer have a drawing: we follow you from start to finish.
DESIGN · FEM · PRODUCTION
We design mechanical components and assemblies from scratch, check how they behave with FEM analysis and take them into production. You reach production with a design that has already been validated.
CARBON-FIBER COMPOSITES
Lighter, stiffer components, designed and produced in composite: from the choice of layup to the molds, through to the finished part and material characterization.
REVERSE ENGINEERING · SPARE PARTS
From the physical part to the CAD model: surveys and 3D scans, rebuilt surfaces and drawings. And when you need the part itself, we reproduce it ready to fit.
PROJECTS AND RESEARCH
A selection from our engineering projects and the founders’ published research. It’s the same method we bring to every job.

Read the caseWHY US
Over 1,000 simulations on a single optimization project, models bench-validated with errors under 2%, failure criteria dedicated to composites. Ansys, SolidWorks and MATLAB are everyday tools.
Explore design and FEMA carbon prosthesis for a European project, high-damping laminates, rollers and shafts in production: we design the layup and the molds and follow production with dedicated partners, always keeping technical responsibility.
Discover compositesOne technical lead, quick answers, as formal or informal as your process needs: from the report for a certification body to the quick call that unblocks a doubt. Lead time and price stated before you commit, with a functional warranty on the component.

THE STUDIO
Vesalto was born from two mechanical engineers with PhDs and a research background, with a simple idea: to bring R&D-level expertise to manufacturing SMEs. The engineering (design, FEM analysis, validation) is ours; we follow production directly, also through a network of qualified partners, keeping technical responsibility from start to finish.
Co-founder · Composites, materials and quality
Mechanical engineer with a PhD (University of Bologna and University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee). He works on composite materials, vibration damping and structural analysis. He has developed and validated carbon-fiber components for aerospace and defense applications, and led mechanical qualification programs for primary packaging and medical devices in regulated environments (ISO 9001 and ISO 13485), with FMEA methodologies and statistical analysis. Author of peer-reviewed publications on hybrid metal-composite structures and damping systems.

Co-founder · Design, FEM and prototyping
Mechanical engineer with a double PhD (University of Bologna and the University of Groningen, in mechanics and artificial intelligence). Specialised in CAD design, finite element analysis (structural, thermal and fatigue) and prototyping (3D printing, machining, composite fabrication). For years he designed and validated energy-storage-and-return foot prostheses, in metal and composite, within European research projects (Horizon 2020, MyLeg project), and is co-inventor of an international patent (WO2023135510A1) on ESR prostheses. He has direct experience in the industrialisation of mechanical and hydraulic systems.
