Proceed to Production Management

Once the Industrial Design and Concept Development phase is complete, we then move in the CAD design phase. Using advanced CAD software, we'll construct a virtual CAD assembly in a 3D environment. This allows us to optimize the design using mechanical simulations, moldability analysis, and even calculate high-load stress failures.

 
Balancing Part Profitability Balancing Part Profitability

Once we've identified the "look and feel" of the design concept, we can begin specifying the materials, finishes, and sensible assembly processes that are well suited for the product and budget.
Design for Production / Manufacturability Designing for Manufacturability

Part of optimizing a design for "profitability" also involves designing it for manufacturability. We go to great lengths to assure our designs minimize fabrication complexity and follow the "best practices" of the fabrication process being utilized.
Parametric CAD Solid Modeling Generating CAD Assembly

Parametric Solid modelers like SolidWorks have become the de facto standard design tools for product designers. We'll use it to define your entire product assembly in a virtual environment with infinite accuracy; thus allowing us to avoid issues with interference and assembly clearance, moldability, and to test for part stress and fatigue.
Standardized CAD Production Files Generating CAD Assembly

Additionally, parametric CAD solid modelers allow us to export component files in a format that the machines used my prototypers, toolers, molders and even animators can read-in directly. This alleviates the need for CNC programming and/or human--induced error.
