Bespoke mechanical and composite design.
Key Engineering Services
- Mechanical Design: Creation of parametric 3D CAD data (part, assembly, master model/scheme) to enable precision manufacture of mechanical parts.
- Surface Design: Formation and manipulation of 3D surface data in a variety of software packages.
- Composite Design: Production of laminate parts/drawings, laminate manuals and tooling.
- Structural Design: Calculation of the geometrical size of parts using classical methods and FEA.
- Material Selection: Selection of appropriate materials and heat/surface treatments.
- Design For Manufacture: Determination of best process to fit need; machining, fabrication, laminating, RP (3D printing), injection moulding, riveting and casting.
- Design For Cost: Consideration of project budgets to ensure good value for customer.
- Design For Assembly: Consideration of builders and end-users by allowing for space to assemble parts to each other and any tool or service access.
- Engineering Documentation: Creation and modification of 2D drawings to BS8888 within a structured PLM system. Knowledge of how to correctly apply and interpret GD&T.
- Analysis: Stress, thermal, cost, tolerance, clash, draft, wall thickness, feasibility, FMEA.
- Standard Parts: Source and package standard parts; fasteners, dowels, bushes, O-rings, seals, circlips, bearings, rod-ends, springs, pins, clips, sensors, plugs, actuators, motors, electrical, switches, power transmission (gears, belts, chains, clutches) etc.
- Special Parts: Design of bespoke standard parts where no “off-the-shelf” solution is available.
