Design

Appreciating the importance of latest technologies we have been a fully licenced user of Solid Edge for many years and now incorporate the new ST version into our design/programming department. Although similar to many 3D packages we have found it is far superior when used in sheet metal design, and this allows us to produce a more realistic representation of the parts and better developments for production.

For our business this package allows us to deliver on many different aspects:

  • Single part modelling for development
  • Multi part assembly
  • Rendered images for marketing
  • Full working drawings for production
Using the latest software also enables us to import clients existing products. We are able to open many files ranging from 2D AutoCAD and other 3D formats. This makes for a seamless integration and reduction in error. Using our standard material templates we are then able to convert the parts to suit our production capabilities and so produce a more accurate part for our customer.

This coupled with our CAM software and experienced design staff we are able to produce high quality results and provide support to our customers.
