OUR DNA
WHO WE ARE
OUR IDENTITY

“ At all stages, lifetime

performance and reliability “
design is held high
Jorge Vieira (CEO of MATEREO)

MATEREO is an innovative engineering company

established in 2014 that provides decision support
consultancy in a wide range of complex projects. Our
team, formed by a combination of structural and
mechanical engineering experts, has proven
experience in the field of CFD (Computational Fluid
Dynamics) and FEA (Finite Element Analysis).

With over 30% PhD’s in our technical team, MATEREO

is the right choice to enhance your projects, with
engineering consultancy, development and support.

Driven by custom Design Performance Indicators

(DPI’s) our solutions benefit from the compromise
between lifetime performance and reliability design.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU “ We love challenges
where we can “
make a difference
MATEREO’s team

The best way to reach reliable results in prototype

development is through simulation and detail. At
MATEREO we design solutions, develop connections,
integrate components, build 3D CAD models, choose
materials, run simulations and optimize for
manufacturing and assembly.

How can we help you?

We develop complete custom prototypes according to
your requirements.

SOME OF OUR SERVICES INCLUDE:

• Custom Design;
• Simulation and optimisation design;
• Materials selection;
• Manufacturing technologies selection;
• DFM (Design for manufacturing);
• Prototype testing;
