Engineering Design Services
Most engineering designs are inventions – devices or systems that are created by human effort and did not exist before. They may also be improvements over existing devices or systems. Inventions and engineering designs are results of bringing together several technologies to meet human needs and solve problems. The design activity occurs over a period of time and calls for a step-by-step methodology.
A comprehensive engineering design process involves:
-
Definition of the design problem
-
Gathering pertinent information for the development of solution or required product
-
Generating multiple alternatives to achieve the goals and requirements of design
- Analysing the alternatives and selecting the most suitable solution
-
Testing and implementing the solution
With the use of CAD services in engineering design process, the possibilities of errors in the final product can be greatly eliminated. CAD can be used for designing curves and figures in two dimensional space, as well as curves, surfaces and solids in 3D forms. CAD service is effectively used for prototyping and is also used to test the effectiveness and utility of different products. Prototypes are used to test design solutions under real conditions.
Engineering design services need to ensure that the final product is successful in terms of functionality, ergonomics, strength, safety and regulatory compliance.
A product has to be designed in a way that it performs all the desired functions in an effective manner. The success of engineering design is further tested on the grounds of ergonomics – the human factor in engineering. A design solution is considered successful if the design is apt for the people using it.
Another important consideration in product design is to ensure that it does not cause any harm to humans. To safeguard themselves against product liability trials, manufactures need to employ state-of-the-art design procedures during the design process. Engineering design consultants can help manufacturing organisations to use the most effective techniques of production.
Engineering design services prove useful for several industries including mechanical design, automotive tooling design, production tooling design, process industry and structural or construction industry. With the appropriate CAD software, the preliminary designs are analysed for functionality, safety and strength. Using the results of this analysis, the designer can make any required modifications and re-analyse the computer model. Modifications are progressively made to arrive at the perfect engineering design that suits the requirements defined initially. This helps to create the desired product effectively.
