SERVICES
Design
The investigation and analysis of design ideas for a range of applications beginning with simple sketches through to complex assemblies:
- Development of concepts, specifications and engineering solutions
- Design of 2D/3D parts and assembly CAD models and drawings
- Investigating and analysing the feasibility of design/product for manufacture
- Assessing and selecting materials for a range of applications
- Composites including carbon fibre, e-glass and kevlar/aramid and core
- Composite processes including wet lay-out, infusion, prepreg and auto clave applications
Manufacturing & Assembly
Organising, prioritising and management of client design information in order to ensure the accurate and efficient transition from design office to the shop floor. Items include:
- Project Lifecycle Management (PLM) and CAD structure set-up
- Production drawings and 3D models
- Production procedures and instruction sheets
- 3D design of tooling and components for both 3 and 5 axis CNC machining
- Organising and assessment of 3D scanning of hull and appendages
Weight Calculation & Management
Management of Weights for a number of diverse projects, responsibilities included:
- Preliminary/projected weight calculations
- Breakdown of weight in specific areas (hull, rudder, rig, systems, etc)
- Setting of weight targets for design and manufacturing
- Recording of weight data during the build and fit-out process
- Organising, weighing, recording, and reporting of boat weights at key milestones
- As built weight calculations
Project Management
Providing project management services to ensure that engineering projects are completed on time, within budget and to the required standards. Areas include:
- Prioritisation and scheduling of work
- Costing and budgeting (including BOM)
- Liaison and coordinating with clients, internal departments and external companies
- Cataloguing of design information – received, produced or sent internally and externally
