CAD (acronym for computer aided design), can be beneficial in digitizing existing designs, creating documentation for code and certifications, producing manufacturing specifications, and many more!
01
IDENTIFY A PROBLEM
Recognizing a problem often sparks creativity and innovation, leading to more effective and impactful solutions. If what you are trying to solve requires a part/product to be manufactured, and you have identified what problem you are trying to solve, you are ready to move onto step 2.
02
DRAFT AN IDEA
The drafting phase in any 3d project, especially in fields like architecture, engineering, or design, consists of preliminary sketches or outlines that are created before moving on to detailed designs or final products. This can be as simple as a hand drawn sketch to a cardboard cut out. At this phase, the goal is to try to get an understanding of the form, fit, and function of the part being designed.
03
DEVELOP A CAD FILE
Using a draft or mockup of the part, the design can now be digitized and manipulated using CAD. CAD enables detailed and precise designs through generating a 3d file that can include shape, material, textures, colors, and many other properties to fully capture your ideas. Depending on the desired manufacturing process, CAD can consist of 2D files (often referred to as drawings) or 3D files.

MANUFACTURE SOLUTIONS
3D printing can address the need for custom or low-volume parts. 3D printing allows for the rapid production of parts with little to no tooling required, making it an excellent solution for low-volume and one-off parts.
Design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) is crucial because it allows optimization of part geometry for 3D printing, creating complex shapes, reducing material waste, integrating functions, and enabling customization.
This approach maximizes the benefits of additive manufacturing, leading to lighter, stronger, and more efficient components while accelerating prototyping and reducing costs.
Yes, you just need a 3D file to turn your idea into a tangible product, BUT has your file been optimized for additive?

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING BENEFITS USING DESIGN FOR ADDITIVE
Complexity Compatiable
Using CAD and DFM, we can produce complex and intricate geometries to optimize part performance.
Weight Reduction
By pairing the latest polymers in 3D printing with the right design, we reduce the weight of the final product.
Cost Saving
DFAM can reduce the amount of material required for a part, minimizing waste and streamlining the production process.
Unique
With DFAM, parts can be tailored to the application or user which allows for true customization manufacturing.
Fast Production
With our skill and expertise, we optimize designs and print settings for a faster turnaround time.
