Reverse Engineering - FARO GAGE Arm

FARO arm CMM's can be used to obtain geometric details to a very high degree of accuracy on reverse engineering work. We have experience with this technology to measure the seemingly, immeasurable.

Reverse Engineering - 3D Scanning

3D Scanning to capture geometry where there is no CAD data.  
We have experience using the latest FARO equipment and post processing software to deliver useable CAD data.

Investigation - Thermal Imaging

With our thermal camera, we can identify areas on an existing system where excessive heat may be a cause of failure, thus allowing an advantage when designing solution to heat affected component issues.

Calculations

All designs will start with calculations (to suitable codes such as DNV, Lloyds, ABS etc where required).
We can supply this information by means of MathCAD, Excel or by a written report.

CAD Design

We are practitioners of a varied suite of CAD systems, such as:-

​

• CATIA v5®

• CREO®

• ONCAD®

• I-DEAS®

• INVENTOR®

• SOLID EDGE®

• RHINO 5®

• PDMS®

CAE

We can refine designs, or verify existing concepts with a wide range of CAE methods, including:-
 

• Linear Stress

• Non-Linear Stress

• Thermal

• Frequency

• CFD

• Mechanism Development

• Transient Analysis

• EMF

Photo-Realistic Rendering

To give grandeur to proposals, we have the ability to generate photo-realistic renderings from CAD models.  These are ideal for sales documents or literature to ascertain feedback of a product idea.

Building & Protyping

Beyond the areas of design, we have a network of tried and trusted suppliers that can help deliver a successful project, be that prototype or production.  
Manufactured by conventional methods or by additive machining methods

Consultancy

With decades of experience in mechanical design, we can offer an abundance of advice for design, prototyping, testing & manufacturing of new or revised products. This knowledge has been built on traditional methods and the use of advanced techniques, such as 3D reverse engineering, Rapid Prototyping and CAE Techniques

Additionally, we can offer a non-biased view of CAD systems to find a system will meet your companies needs.  We have experience of single seat, free to use  CAD systems through to multi-national system requirements.
