Have a design that you want to develop into a machine, Design Services has the people and experience to get it built and working. By using advanced 3D modeling and motion simulation, we can design your machine in the computer and verify fit, form and function prior to assembly. This allows the customer be sufficiently confident of his design before beginning costly manufacturing.

After the computer design stage is complete, 3D CAD models can easily be converted into an output accepted by CNC machines or in the form of a .STL file which forms the input for a Rapid Prototyping system.

Machining:

Part drawings and CNC code files are produced from 3D design and are used by a machine shop to machine the parts from metal or plastic as required. Design Services has experience working with a number a machine shops and fabricators in the local area. We can get you price quotes for machining, fabrication and electrical controls. Our lead designer has 6 years experience running a fab shop and can oversee all aspects of assembly and quality control.

Rapid Prototyping:

Have a small part or parts that you want to create a model of or a test prototype?

Rapid prototyping is the most cost affective way to do this. 3D CAD models of your design can be generated using standard CAD software. Then an output in the form of an .STL file which forms the input for the Rapid Prototyping system. A part can be produced from this file in a matter of minutes. Plastic, Rubber, Resin and plaster parts can be produced from this method.

As in any other technology, Rapid Prototyping also has its own limitations. Very fine intricate details are difficult to obtain. Parts of very large sizes have to be split into smaller pieces. Although parts of about 24 inches cube may be possible through this technology, 6 to 8 inch cube is considered to be the ideal size limit.

Contact us for a Free initial consultation, we will set up a Confidentiality Agreement and review any documents or sketches the customer might have. The client will then be given an estimate for initial conceptual models or drawings if they are needed. An outline of the schedule for development will be prepared and reviewed with the customer. Estimates for prototyping will then be sent to the customer for approval. We can even help with the searching for funding if necessary.
