Why We Exist?
BRD Lucchini was established to bridge the gap between technical engineering and commercial product development. We saw that many engineering firms focus solely on specific components without considering the broader manufacturing, regulatory, and commercial risks.
Our founders recognised that successful products need engineers who understand the complete picture – identifying and mitigating risks early while developing solutions that can be efficiently manufactured, meet compliance standards, and deliver measurable value to end users.
How We Think
BRD Systems Approach
We approach every project as an integrated system rather than isolated components. By considering how mechanical, electronic, software, and compliance requirements interact, we identify issues and dependencies that others miss. This systems thinking helps eliminate costly rework and integration problems later in development.
Design for Manufacture
Technical elegance means little if a product can't be efficiently manufactured. We evaluate production methods, material selections, and assembly processes from concept stage, ensuring designs transition smoothly from prototype to volume production with minimal changes. This approach reduces time to market and capital investment.
Cross-Functional Integration
Our experience across mechanical engineering, mechatronics, and compliance enables us to bridge traditional discipline boundaries. This integration produces more cohesive solutions where mechanical systems, electronic controls, and regulatory requirements work together seamlessly rather than being patched together at the end.
Product Development
BRD Lucchini Engineering was founded by engineers with extensive real-world experience across medical device development, industrial automation, and mechanical systems.
Based in Wollongong, our leadership team has delivered commercial products for the medical industry mining operations, energy providers, and agricultural equipment suppliers to the global market and associated regulatory requirements. This work has built our expertise in mechanical design, mechatronic systems, and manufacturing processes across diverse industry requirements.
Industries We Work In
Medical Devices
ISO13485-informed design and documentation for Medical devices, including surgical instruments, RF equipment, and implantable devices. We help navigate the path from concept to regulatory submission.
Mining & Industrial
