2D CAD
The humble 2D drawing has
come a long way, - the printed drawing is still often the final method of
conveying information to others, they are thus very important in
terms of accuracy and clarity.
Whether it's engineering drawings, product proposals, plans
or layouts, we are equally capable.
Where colour coded symbols and tables
are used we can apply symbols that may be easily updated
should their size, colour,
or shape change. Other areas are optical scanning, tracing,
vectorisation,
GA and detail drawings,
bills of materials BOM's, re-drawing of manual and old style cad drawings etc.
3D CAD and
Parametric design
The choice of whether to design in Solidworks 2012 or Inventor 2012 is usually
down to whether we are utilising any existing design files, the
requirements in the
design and the final outputs required.
In most cases we use
Inventor as changes are easily
performed thanks to parametric design enabling
features, and
relationships between parts to be
controlled (constrained) by editable parameters.
2D-3D-2D
Designing in 3D means faster turnaround
times, and the ability to take advantage of rapid prototyping,
and the vast range of other CNC equipment available to produce real
prototypes and working models.
3D printing is a rapidly evolving area of engineering, for this
reason we outsource our 3D CAD data enabling us to choose from any
3D printing system and the most up to date 3D printing media
available.
Reverse engineering
We can take an existing product and transfer
it to CAD, leave it as it is
or modify it to create a new
variety to the
product. This applies to existing 2D or 3D CAD geometry, physical
objects, parts or assemblies, and even photographs.
