Work Precision have a strong engineering team, providing professional advice from idea to prototype and production. We can offer product development, optimized design, DFM, mold design, mold flow analysis and material selection to process. Product Development For our New Product Development (NPD) services we begin by brainstorming in order to reach an in-depth understanding of our client’s requirements and how to achieve them. Once we’re all on the same page, the team then conducts extensive research to devise the most practical and efficient development process. Optimized design is essential. We keep an open dialogue with our clients – updating them every step of the way. Our engineers can optimize every aspect of product design to help you to both choose the correct process at the start of a product lifetime, and advise on component design. After reviewing these hand drawn design concepts we work with our clients to extract the features that best exhibit their vision. We will produce a final deliverable 2D drawing to next step process.
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Design for Manufacturability (DFM) is the process of designing parts, components or products for ease of manufacturing with an end goal of making a better product at a lower cost. This is done by simplifying, optimizing and refining the product design. Early involvement in part and mold design using Design For Manufacturability (DFM) Review is key to successful part and product development. At Work Precision, we emphasize the benefits of DFM to our clients with the knowledge that this powerful diagnostic tool will create a more efficient production cycle and ultimately increase profitability. Why is Design for Manufacturing Important? ● Products made with DFM will have a lower production cost ● Quicker time-to-market ● Shortening of the product development process ● Production will be up to speed sooner ● Parts may be combined to reduce assembly steps and quantity of parts ● Catches and removes mistakes or faults ● Higher quality of a product, as design can be refined and enhanced at every stage Some material properties to consider during DFM include: ● Mechanical properties - How strong does the material need to be? ● Optical properties - Does the material to be reflective or transparent? ● Thermal properties - How heat resistant does it need to be? ● Color - What color does the part need to be? ● Electrical properties - Does the material need to act as a dielectric (act as an insulator rather than a conductor)? ● Flammability - How flame/burn resistant does the material need to be? ● Understanding the performance of materials, coatings and joints in-service is essential if your products and structures are to meet their operating requirements. With 15 years of practical experience in prototyping, cnc machining and metal casting, our engineers will put together a comprehensive interactive quote and manufacturability analysis, and will be able to conduct design reviews to recommend the best technology for your part. No need to wait for production to reveal issues with design, because with optimized design for manufacturability, our engineers will ensure your parts can be tooled and molded to scale as cost-effectively as possible.
Mold Design HB-MOLD, a 3D solid-based mold design application is seamlessly integrated into NX, lt incorporates preset mold design time. By using Parametric 3D CAD mold design, we are able to employ CAM(Computer Aided Manufacturing) in a near paperless environment. Our PDM(Product Data Management) system ensures that incoming and outgoing files are tracked and managed. We utilize our ECN(Engineering Change Notice) system to control and verify design revisions.
Mold Flow Analysis Moldflow, a metal casting simulation application providing a truly seamless integration of part design, mold flow analysis, and mold design. By using Moldflow, we can simulate the casting molding process, optimize molding parameters, and identify potential tooling and molding problems in the early design stages.
