We
get it right before the tools are cut. Careful engineering
up front helps to avoid unanticipated production delays caused
by late-cycle design fixes. Most of the time we send data for
tooling that will result in parts that can be used for production
immediately. We have saved many of our clients time and money
by allowing them to jump right into production as soon as the
tooling is cut. In special cases we design “steel-safe”
adjustability into selected critical areas to ease the tuning
of the product during the pre-production phase.
Our degreed Mechanical Engineers know how and when to apply
engineering calculations to predict product performance, and
when to turn to simulation software for tasks such as mechanism
design, FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and mold flow analysis.
Our familiarity with a wide range of engineering materials means
that we can help select the right resin or alloy for your parts.
We also use development techniques such as Pugh analysis charts
(for structured decision making) and DFMEA (Design Failure Modes
and Effects Analysis) to predict and avoid design issues that
may not be obvious at first glance.
Our structured release procedure includes careful revision controls
as well as part and assembly review checklists (draft, interference,
tolerances, mechanism range-of-motion, etc.)
Clients can access all of their posted data through our
simple and secure web-based interface. They can even use
this capability to pass on manufacturing data to toolmakers
and other vendors. |
