DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURING
Conceptual design to production intent/Rapid Prototyping
Conceptual design
Pre-development scan
Behind the scenes processing
-
Collection (scan) of actual data from real-world components ensures product being developed works.
-
Un-foreseen issues prior to product development may be found and worked through quicker.
-
Collect key elements for design and packaging.
-
The conceptual design stays true to the existing product.
Pre-development CAD
-
Scanned areas are converted to surface.
-
Expedites product faster especially when manufacturer CAD is unavailable.
-
Key in achieving a high degree of accuracy the first time minimizing benching time to fit the product.
-
Allows for faster conceptual development.
-
Easy to work with.
Industrial design/ concept developed from
reference CAD data
-
The Conceptual Design process is accelerated utilizing CAD developed from the scanned focus areas.
-
Surface (CAD) provides the best medium for product design and part integration.
Know the part(s)/assembly will work the first time
-
The design concept is taken and engineered for stack-up and fit-and-finish conditions.
-
Mounting and attachment methods work out.
-
Prototyping CAD built fitting actual structure.
-
Optimize ideas and concepts through CAD.
-
Prototypes made from CAD using assorted materials.
A collaborated effort
-
Final production prototype assembly model presented.
-
Design concept package brought to reality
-
Total of 10 IP / 15 ceiling / 12 pillar / 6 rear shelf parts and tools.
-
Faster production of art to part.
