Expertise, technology, and flexibility
Mechanical design is our core business and we boast a track record of projects and experience in various sectors.
We use state-of-the-art tools which offer our customers a choice of the most suitable software for their needs. We are also able to align with our clients’ own computer systems, including their settings and processes, optimising time and energy and proving very effective in the transition from the design phase to the operational phase.
We support the customer all the way through the industrialisation process, from concept to production: feasibility analysis, planning, design, virtual prototyping, simulations, testing, technical documentation.
Our approach takes into account not only functional specifications, the application context and product design, but also potential production technologies with cost analysis and optimisation suggestions.
Through reverse engineering processes, we create 3D CAD representations of real objects.
This process is extremely useful where there is limited knowledge of engineering a product or part of a product, for example when the original documentation has been lost or is only on paper. There is a wide array of applications: from the creation of spare parts that are no longer available, to the overhaul and improvement of obsolete products, from the implementation of new functionalities to the correction of functional defects.
We take care of the production of any technical documentation required by the customer: creation of 2D tables, migration of 2D to 3D tables, individual part tables, bend tables, construction tables for assemblies, geometries for laser cutting, construction drawings callouts, exploded views for manuals, modelling of two-dimensional files, product specification lists, bills of materials.
When necessary, we are able to support the mechanical design with design analysis and development, so that in addition to functionality and production feasibility, we also take care of aesthetic and ergonomic aspects.
The operational synergy between designer and planner allows us to optimise design in technical, aesthetic and functional terms, often proposing innovative solutions and reducing development time.
A 3D video rendering is the best way to portray a product before its production, visualise its workings (including processes that may not be visible in reality) and supplement the images with interactive information and captions.
Using software, such as KeyShotXR, we produce 3D rendering animations. In addition to traditional videos, it is possible to incorporate these renderings into web pages to create virtual experiences or produce product configurators. On top of which, we are able to use any existing CAD file as the starting point, helping to optimise the process and production lead times.
Structural FEM (Finite Element Method) calculation is a simulation or digital prototyping that moves experimental verification from reality to the computer.
Thanks to this type of analysis, it is possible to virtually simulate an object's movements in the real world in order to predict its behaviour under different conditions such as vibration, heat, fatigue and stress. The analysis highlights any critical points so that they can be resolved before a prototype is even made. The advantages of computerised prototyping versus the traditional method are clear: quicker, cheaper, more efficient, and also more effective as changes to the virtual prototype can be made at any stage of the simulation.
We run fluid dynamics analyses and simulations for any type of product, whether functional to the mechanical design or ad hoc in response to a specific request.
CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) uses complex numerical calculations to describe the behaviour of fluids, gases and fumes in order to provide a precise picture of the physical phenomena acting within a system. This means we are able to understand how it actually works before the prototype is even built.
The simulation, which is based on complex mathematical calculations and algorithms, therefore has two important advantages: seeing and therefore more clearly understanding the real behaviour of fluids as well as reducing costs by avoiding often complex and unnecessary prototyping.
The combination of German technology and Italian design is a guarantee of excellence and can lead to unique results.
German metalworking and engineering companies that decide to collaborate with Italian developers not only benefit from state-of-the-art technical solutions, but also gain access to a unique cultural and creative heritage. This synergy not only ensures higher production standards, but also helps to strengthen the leading position of German companies in the world.
