Services:
~~~Design Drafting Services~~~
We will prepare mechanical or digital drawings, diagrams or blueprints and/or models of various products or structures to guide designers, product makers, architects or construction personnel in the manufacture, implementation or building process. Using CAD/Solidworks software, we provide the vital link between design theory and practical application by tra
nslating critical design concepts into workable plans for tangible, buildable mechanical and architectural end-products.
~~~3D Model Building, CAD/Solidworks Design for 3D Printing~~~
You provide us with a hand sketch of an idea and we take that hand sketch and create a 3D model using CAD/Solidworks for use in 3D printing.
~~~3D Scanning~~~
We take a widget or real-world object and analyze it to collect data on its shape and possibly its appearance (e.g. The collected data can then be used to construct digital three-dimensional models in the CAD system. From there it can be 3D printed or modified to be 3D printed.
~~~Renderings~~~
We can provide you with a photorealistic 3D rendering created from the 3D model that can be used for marketing or presentations without the need for a physical prototype.
~~~Translation Files~~~
In order to utilize a 3D model for prototyping and printing, a machine code file or translation files must be created. The most common of these are STL files (Stereolithography) or STEP files. In order to make the translation, a full copy of a CAD program is needed.
~~~Finite Element Analysis~~~
We take your design and run it through a program that predicts how a product will react to real-world forces, vibration, heat, fluid flow, and other physical effects. FEA shows whether a product will break, wear out, or work the way it was designed.
~~~CAD Redline Markups~~~
We take existing CAD drawings that are marked up for editing and make the requested changes.
~~~3D Printing~~~
3D printing (Additive Manufacturing) is a quickly expanding field, with the popularity and uses for 3D printers growing every day. 3D printing can be used to prototype, create replacement parts, and is even versatile enough to print prostheses and medical implants. It will have a growing impact on our world, as more and more people gain access to these amazing machines. While all 3D printers create objects using additive methods (the opposite of a CNC machine), different approaches exist to actually physically depositing the material. Additive Manufacturing refers to a process by which digital 3D design data is used to build up a component in layers by depositing material. The term "3D printing" is increasingly used as a synonym for Additive Manufacturing. However, the latter is more accurate in that it describes a professional production technique which is clearly distinguished from conventional methods of material removal. Instead of milling a workpiece from solid block, for example, Additive Manufacturing builds up components layer by layer using materials which are available in fine powder form. A range of different metals, plastics and composite materials may be used. The technology has especially been applied in conjunction with Rapid Prototyping - the construction of illustrative and functional prototypes. Additive Manufacturing is now being used increasingly in Series Production. It gives Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in the most varied sectors of industry the opportunity to create a distinctive profile for themselves based on new customer benefits, cost-saving potential and the ability to meet sustainability goals.
~~~Prototype Documentation for Printing~~~
We provide you with documentation of your product, prototype, or design for further editing and printing.
~~~CNC milling~~~
CNC milling is a specific form of computer numerical controlled (CNC) machining. Milling itself is a machining process similar to both drilling and cutting, and able to achieve many of the operations performed by cutting and drilling machines. Like drilling, milling uses a rotating cylindrical cutting tool. However, the cutter in a milling machine is able to move along multiple axes, and can create a variety of shapes, slots and holes. In addition, the work-piece is often moved across the milling tool in different directions, unlike the single axis motion of a drill. Virtually every type of material that can be drilled or cut can be machined by a CNC mill, although most of the work performed is done in metal.
