Consulting
Our consulting staff can either extend your team’s capabilities or function as your engineering department. Our specialties include mechanical design and documentation. We will help you understand and follow good design principles resulting in a robust design with a good documentation package for fabrication.
Our engineering design & drawing services can be extremely helpful for organizations who need to identify design, drafting, dimensioning and tolerancing errors or omissions before issuing engineering drawings. The engineering design & documentation stage is very important and ultimately influential in the end-product cost, quality, and time to market. Designs must be created based on achieving functional requirements, manufacturability, and quality. We will review your designs and drawings for accuracy, completeness, and manufacturability.
Service Offerings
Design for Manufacturability & Assemblability Review
Is that working prototype just not right for high-volume production? We will review your designs to identify opportunities to simplify product structure, reduce part count or part variety, or simplify the assembly process. Critical components are assessed for opportunities to change manufacturing methods or materials. Using the guidance of a tolerance analysis, part feature tolerances are assessed for manufacturability. We work with your suppliers to solicit and review feedback on manufacturing process plans and identify opportunities to simplify part processing.
Tolerance Analysis
Are you struggling to understand or justify tolerance choices? We will review your assembly models and interact with your engineering groups to understand the functional assembly interfaces and the assembly process. Designs will be assessed for fit without interference or undue clearance, and whether the assembly accuracy achieved meets its requirements. A comprehensive set of tolerance analyses covering mechanical fit and performance requirements will be provided. Changes are recommended where necessary.
Drawing Creation
Do you need to supplement your current drawing creation capabilities? We will review your CAD models and interact with your engineering groups to understand the functional assembly interfaces and the assembly process. Datum features will be identified in the proper order and qualified relative to preceding datums based on part function and assembly. Features will be dimensioned & toleranced in accordance with ASME Y14.5-2018 to clearly define appropriate limits on all applicable variation. Tolerance analyses will be performed as necessary to verify the appropriateness of, and to optimize, tolerance choices.
Drawing Checking
Are you unsure if your drawings will result in good parts? Are you building or augmenting your internal drawing capabilities or outsourcing drawing creation services and need to keep them honest? Drawing checking services are available for mechanical drawings that include assemblies and components such as:machined, sheet metal, plastics, weldments, forgings, castings, extrusions, etc. We will ensure each drawing has appropriately-defined and qualified datum features, size tolerances and locating tolerances, and other refinements necessary to ensure both manufacturability and functionality. The result will be a complete drawing package of clearly-defined parts.
