Tool Design
Expertise in plastic injection moulding, zinc die casting and sheet metal forming tool design, covering the full process from initial concept to complete manufacturing documentation.
Product Development
Creation of 3D models and assemblies, material selection, 2D documentation, bills of materials (BOM), prototypes and revisions, with independent delivery from concept through to production.
CAD Software (CATIA V5 & SolidWorks)
Proficiency in CATIA V5 and SolidWorks for independent tool design, 3D component modelling, geometry reconstruction from STL data and preparation of complete technical documentation.
Moldflow Analysis
Application of Autodesk Moldflow for mould filling simulation and plastic behaviour assessment, including model preparation and technical documentation.
Technical Documentation
Preparation of 2D drawings, bills of materials (BOM) and feasibility studies to support engineering and production processes.
Quality Engineering & CMM Measurement
Dimensional checks of plastic automotive parts using CMM measurement, as well as measurement system and process capability analysis using MSA, Cp/Cpk and Pp/Ppk.
Prototype Development & Validation
Development and validation of prototypes, including new product/prototype development and geometry reconstruction from STL data.
Feasibility Studies
Conducting feasibility studies and engineering solutions to support tool implementation and design changes across various industries.
