Endless, Effortless Digital Prototyping With CAD Modelling

We’ll never turn down the chance to take a mechanical pencil to a fresh sheet of drafting paper, but sometimes, a keyboard and mouse are the right tools for the job. Using cutting-edge computer-aided design (CAD) modelling software, we can create high-fidelity 2D and 3D designs. Not only are they perfect for marketing, but we can translate them into the instructions needed to manufacture working prototypes. We’ll do that through a combination of techniques, including:

Innovation Takes Time. We Make the Hours Much More Economical.

Assessing the aesthetics, functionality and manufacturability of a suite of design iterations is a time-consuming process. And what business has ever had an excess of time to spare? CAD has allowed us to iterate and optimise our clients’ designs on a dramatically reduced timescale, and our specialist modellers will help you get your product to market in an instant.

That’s not an empty promise. Here’s a selection of clients from our portfolio. What we’re offering you, we’ve done for them.

Our CAD-to-CAM Prototype Manufacturing Process

Once our CAD designers have created a final prototype you’re satisfied with, we can help you manufacture it at scale through our computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) pipeline.

Timeframe:

For a ballpark estimate, CAD modelling can take weeks to months, depending on the complexity of the task.

Benefits:

  • Easily modify designs in the moment
  • Simulate product performance virtually
  • Automatically generate technical drawings

Ideal if:

  • You need to visualise design iterations in 2D or 3D
  • You need to save costs by mitigating physical prototyping
  • You need to quickly communicate design iterations between stakeholders

1

Conceptual Design (CAD Stage)

First, we brainstorm, creating basic design drafts that meet the initial specs you’ve provided us.

2

Detailed Design (CAD Stage)

We begin to iterate on the design, making precise refinements to its form and shape and selecting material options.

3

Design Validation (CAD Stage)

Once you and the other stakeholders are satisfied with a design, we create a physical prototype for real-world testing. We’ll use the results to further refine the CAD model and finalise the design.

4

Process Planning (Transition from CAD to CAM)

The finalised CAD model is imported into CAM software, where tool paths and machining operations are planned. Designers decide on the sequence of operations and design fixtures and tooling needed for manufacturing.

5

Manufacturing (CAM Stage)

CAM software generates the Numerical Control (NC) code to control machine tools, followed by a simulation to ensure error-free machining. We send the code to our CNC machines to produce the final product, which we then inspect for quality and accuracy.

FAQs

Is CAD only used for mechanical design?

While CAD is extensively utilised in mechanical engineering to create detailed 2D and 3D models of parts and assemblies, it is also widely employed in various other industries, such as the automotive industry for component design, electrical engineering for circuit and housing design, fashion for garment creation, and children’s products for product testing.

Can CAD software perform simulations and analyses?

Yes, many CAD programs include tools for simulating real-world conditions and analysing factors like stress, heat, fluid flow and more, helping to optimise designs before physical prototyping.

How do CAD and CAM work together in prototyping?

CAD designs are imported into CAM software, which then generates the necessary tool paths and instructions to manufacture the prototype, ensuring a seamless transition from digital design to physical product.
