Product Design and Development
Elemental Manufacturing offers a comprehensive range of 2D and 3D design services.
From the transformation of a verbal idea or rough concept sketch into a 3D model, all the way through to detailed analysis and refinement of existing models in preparation for manufacture. Our design services cater for all levels of customers. Whether your a hobbiest or inventor looking to develop or document an idea, or an industry professional looking to design and develop new products for mass production, we can assist is the design and development of your products.
We also provide reverse engineering and access to digital data aquisition facilities, and can construct models from point cloud, mesh and triangle data in A class surfaces and both ACIS and parasolid solids, as well as component assemblies and combined tribrid models. These tools, coupled with our in house FEA and MFA software, allow us to integrate the highest level of technologies available when developing your 3D CAD models. Finished models can be supplied in a wide range of industry standard proprietary and neutral formats or as detail drawings or renderings. We can also import most native file types from standard CAD packages.
Our "Design for Manufacture" service takes an existing model through all of the development stage scrutiny required to prepare it for a trouble free injection moulding outcome. Including specific attention to draft angles, wall thickness, injection and ejection challenges, as well as material optimization and quality risk assessment. We can assist in preparing your existing models for all of the challenges and risks associated with plastic injection moulding.
