Ideas, sketches and technical requirements become ergonomic, optimised parts, ready for series production and modelled for the process that will make them.
01Drawing
Every concept is pinned down in orthographic views, sections and tolerances, so the intent is fixed before a single surface is modelled.
02CAD & surfacing
High quality solid and parametric surface modelling to Class-A standards, checked with reflection lines so every highlight flows without a break.
03Design for manufacturing
Each part is modelled for how it will be made. Draft, wall thickness and undercuts are solved in CAD, not on the shop floor.
04CAE, FEA & Moldflow
Moldflow predicts filling, warpage and cooling. FEA checks stress, deformation and load cases, so risks surface on screen instead of in the tool.
05Functional prototyping
Rapid prototypes by SLA and SLS printing, or machined samples, used for fit, assembly and verification tests before tooling.
(01) Scope
The same engineers take a part from the first sketch to a verified prototype, with the tooling and the machine already in mind.
Parts modelled for the exact production method, so the first tool and the first batch behave as designed.
High quality solid and parametric surface modelling, to Class-A standards where the surface is the product.
Loads, deformation and the behaviour of plastic in the mould are verified before any tooling is ordered.
Rapid prototypes and machined samples for assembly and verification testing in real conditions.
(02) Deliverables
Everything a toolmaker, a supplier or our own tooling team needs to start without questions.
Native and neutral formats, ready for tooling and suppliers.
Views, sections and tolerances for manufacture and inspection.
Draft, wall thickness and undercut findings with fixes.
FEA and Moldflow results, with the design actions they led to.
Printed or machined parts for fit and function testing.
