DW is first and foremost an industrial design studio. We
believe that Industrial Design is the front end of product
development. Conceptualizing the look of a new product and
anticipating how it will feel in the consumer's hands will
significantly affect their acceptance and desire to purchase
it.
Our extensive design experience allows us to understand, envision
and combine all of the stake-holder's needs to produce a strategic
concept that addresses user interface, functionality, aesthetics,
mechanical design, manufacturing and marketing requirements
for a successful and profitable product design.
CAD Development
Incorporating advanced CAD early in the design
process allows DW’s team to quickly develop accurate
digital ideas and prototypes and allows designers to quickly try changes,
test performance and create complex models efficiently. It
helps promote rapid decisions based on the best concepts without
needless iterations. This allows DW to provide unmatched performance,
value, and innovation to its clients.
Mold-fill Analysis
Mold fill simulation of plastic parts is done
on 3D solid models using MoldFlow™ software. It addresses
key process concerns up-front in preliminary design stages
and offers practical advice to identify weld lines and air
traps. This analysis produces precision information allowing
optimal layouts for gating locations, fill patterns and weld
line placement, as well as showing pressure and temperature
distribution.
Critical location and depth of sink marks can
be efficiently validated and optimized. Venting locations,
mold machine requirements, estimated cycle times and shot
sizes can also be assessed.
Mechanical Design
Through our extensive experience and successful
track record developing products through to final production
part file release, we understand that mechanical design does
not only take place at the tail end of the industrial design
process. Both activities need to concurrently compliment each
other.
• We design with the mechanical and production issues and
limitations in mind
• We are always looking for ways to improve, optimize or
cost reduce
• We make numerous mechanical prototypes to validate
the various aspects of the new product
• We have strategic partnerships with certified engineering
groups
• We have a very strong plastic design expertise
• We are familiar with and are able to draw from CAE
tools
such as FEA, CFD and mold filling simulation analysis
when required
and
limitations in mind
