"We offer complete design engineering, from concept to finished product"
All of our designing is done
using the reliability of Sun Workstations and the Solaris
Operating System. This computer equipment offers us the reliably and
performance for completion of any job. All our designs are base
on 3D solid modeling. We have complete Photo rendering capability.
We utilize Pro Engineering “Wildfire” exclusively. Wildfire is one of a few
“top of the line” CAD
systems available. It's basic designing principle is to create a “Solid
Model” first, then the Drawing Package. The Solid Model is a 3D
computer representation of the product being developed. The Drawing
Package is the lined drawings people are typically familiar with.
Using these design philosophies, the basic design flow we follow is,
“Model” the product, create a “Photo-Rendered” image, and then send the
rendered image to the customer for review. After an initial review, we
then proceed to complete the entire design package. This type of
designing sequence has been proven to speed up the designing process
significantly.
Pro Engineering “Wildfire” also
has advanced assembly capabilities, where we can design all relevent
parts and then assemble the designed parts to an assembly. This
assembly can be a sub-assembly to a larger assembly if required. This
capability also allows for much shorter design cycles, as all parts can
be checked for fit and function at the computer level.
Pro Engineering “Wildfire” has
complete “Photo-Rendering” capability. With this capability, the client
has the ability to visualize what the product will look like before any
part has been produced.
Pro Engineering “Wildfire” has
export capabilities for “Stereolithography” (STL). This capability,
provides a means of “printing” a 3D representation of the product from
plastic. What we mean by “printing” is not on paper, but an actual 3D
part that is produced as simple as printing. Usually within one week.
We can and have with various
clients, reviewed all steps of the design cycle as they proceed forward.
You as the customer, can specify the design cycle for review required.
We will design and
manufacture, small parts, such as simple vacuum chucks, to large
assemblies, such as complex inspection stations.
Engineering packages, include:
Complete 2D paper package
3D Solid model, Pro/E “Wildfire” format
Basic Photo rendering for design review
Optional 3D formats, "IGES" or "STEP" files
Optional 2D format, "DXF" file
Optional high quality Photo rendering in various bit map formats (pcx, tif, jpg, etc) for Brochures
We will stand behind our design when manufacturing begins. We will be
available to answer any manufacturing questions from "missing
dimensions" to "why did we do it this way".
