Precision magnetic field design
We are a specialist team focused on the design, optimisation, and engineering of bespoke, high-performance magnetic systems for advanced technology and research applications.
Our methods were developed through advanced analytical research in magnetic modelling.
Today, we combine first-principles analysis with practical engineering to deliver solutions that maximise performance and reliability within your overall system architecture.
WHAT WE DO
We work with clients to develop state-of-the-art systems where magnetic behaviour influences overall capability.
By applying specialist optimisation early in the design process, we help ensure the subsystem delivers optimal performance limits within real-world constraints.
In advanced sensing and precision instruments, improvements in field quality can translate directly into measurable gains in stability, sensitivity, and accuracy. Our role is to ensure magnetic performance is not the limiting factor.
Why specialist focus matters
CHALLENGE
Magnetic performance is often limited by multiple factors, not just physics.
These constraints include geometry, current distribution, manufacturability, and system-level trade-offs. Frequently, these factors are addressed too late, or with limited optimisation.
SOLUTION
Contour resolves these factors from the outset.
Applying specialist modelling and optimisation early in development extracts the highest practical performance from your magnetic subsystem and in turn, from your overall system.
Early involvement
reduces the risk of hidden performance ceilings.
It prevents costly redesign later in development. And it ensures magnetic performance is not the constraint that limits what your system can achieve.
We support projects at multiple stages
-
Feasibility and early-stage system exploration
-
Analytical and numerical optimisation
-
Design for manufacture (including PCB and multi-plane systems)
-
Component sourcing, build coordination, and system integration
-
Validation and performance verification
HOW WE WORK
We work across a wide range of geometries and environments, including:
Planar and multi-plane systems
PCB-based architectures
Flex-PCB
Cylindrical geometries
Non-standard geometries
Permanent magnet assemblies
Systems operating in free space or within magnetic shielding
Every project begins from first principles, ensuring the resulting solution is tailored precisely to your physical and environmental constraints.
