MECHANICAL ENGINEERING SERVICES

Great teamwork is the key factor that makes the difference between a good and great product. Any consumer product requires the great work of many teams – software, firmware, electrical and mechanical engineers, etc. Each of these is equally important and adds its value to the design.

Our Mechanical Engineering team offers a wide range of services using various kinds of software. We use either SolidWorks or ProEngineer CAD systems (Computer-Aided Design) to create 3D models, assemblies, and drawings for you. We use Geomagic as a CAV environment (Computer-Aided Verification) to create comparison reports of a 3D model and real product using scan data (points cloud). Some of the products may require stress analysis to determine if the part or product is strong enough and will withstand loads as designed. We can run FEA (Final Element Analysis) to verify that there are no areas that could potentially break and reduce overall failure risk.

Mechanical Engineering Service Includes:

Design & Drafting

CAD modeling (2D/3D)
Product design & prototyping

WE HAVE EXPERTISE IN THE NEXT FIELDS:

LEGACY CONVERSION

If your company needs to switch from one CAD system to another without stopping workflow, we are happy to offer our help with this to make it flawless and less painful. We can convert your databases from Inventor, Catia, Unigraphics, and other CAD systems into either ProE or Solid Works.

PRODUCT DESIGN

Our team has 10+ years of experience in consumer product design. We have dealt with injection molding parts, sheet metal parts, aluminum casting parts, parts for CNC, and different kinds of rapid prototyping, etc. Also, we have experience with different grades of IP-protected product design, including IP67, IP68, and up to IP69K.

REVERSE ENGINEERING

If you have any part but not a 3D model for it, we can help you build one. We can remodel it for you parametrically from scratch using scan data as a reference. Having a parametric model vs. non-parametric is an advantage since it allows you to modify it easier if you need to do so. After building a 3D model, we provide a verification report (CAV) to make sure it matches the scan data within the required tolerance.

PROTOTYPING

Each product requires at least one prototype before running mass production. Often, it takes more than one iteration. After building a 3D model, we can help you build appearance or functional models using different kinds of rapid prototyping. Our partners in China can offer the following services: SLA printing, CNC machining, silicon molding, silk screen printing, painting, full unit assembly, etc.
