We create a virtual 3-D model of the product, allowing an initial idea or concept to be fully understood, discussed and developed in full detail.

The nature of the 3D model allows design ideas to be trialed and changes to be made rapidly, speeding up the design process and reducing the cost of exploring innovative ideas.

Models produced in this step are useful for many other steps like, photo-realistic rendering, detail engineering analysis, rapid prototypes and designing and making production tooling.

FluidWorks can provide CNC Machining services for you also.

We have over 25 years experience in CNC machining.

Prototype work to high quantity runs with the fastest turn around time out there.

2D - 3D Conversion

Convert older drawings in to 3D solid models.

We can take your 2D cad files, sketches, pictures, prints etc. and create a 3D solid model.

Reverse Engineering

We can measure your part or object and then create a 3D Cad model that reflects how it was to be designed originally.

After we create the 3D Cad model we can then modify it, create production drawings, incorporate it in to assemblies etc.

Photo-realistic Renderings

We can make High Quality Renderings from the cad file that help in client presentation and reduce prototyping costs.

High Quality Renderings let you demonstrate how your design will look without expensive mock-ups, prototypes, or studio photo sessions. Speed up review cycles, market product concepts before manufacturing even begins, create images for sales and service documentation, and reduce time-to-market.

DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURE AND ASSEMBLY

A process conducted during the Detailed design stage has 2 key components

Design for assembly - which ensures the assembly of parts is intelligent and suitable for production, that the attachment of parts is reliable and that the number of parts is reduced where possible.

Design for manufacture - which uses tools and experience to select the ideal manufacture process and material for the part and then optimizes the part design. This process helps to reduce the product cost by removing unnecessary effort, parts and material from the production process.

Design Automation Configurators

Does your company create new designs based on a theme?

Do you have repetitive design tasks that could be automated?

Could your products be defined by a set of rules?

Configurators allow you to capture and re-use knowledge and rules to specify, design and engineer-to-order.

Configurators let you automate repetitive tasks and generate design and manufacturing output quickly and accurately.

Create custom products in minutes...  not days
