Complete Service
When hiring a Pro/E modeling source, knowledge of Pro/E is an extremely important factor, but other experiences can help speed up your programs as well. Our engineers have a level of knowledge of manufacturing and industrial design seldom seen in most Pro/E modelers. They have worked closely with industrial designers building cosmetic surfaces, as well as worked closely with toolmakers designing tooling. They build models that look great, but that also are feasible in manufacturing. Many Pro/E modelers only know how to create the model without having the knowledge of how to design the parts. Surfacing Solutions provides well-rounded expertise in the development of computer aided design models.
Design Services
- Surface Creation – Build native Pro/E surfaces of cosmetic components. Evaluate and adjust surface quality, capturing highlights, creating lead-in, and adjusting stretch values to insure smooth curvature plots
- Complex Geometry Modeling - Build geometry containing large number of features, multi-directional pull angles, multiple core castings, and parts with no flat surfaces
- Design for
Manufacturing – Ensure feasibility of part manufacturing during model design development
- 2D Drawing Creation – Develop detailed drawings including machine locators, clamping locations, base datums, and geometric tolerances per ANSI 14.3
- Project Management - Assist clients from project conception to completion, including cost estimates, schedule development, modeling, and prototype assembly
- Tool Design – Develop models dependent on the applicable manufacturing process, including core boxes, cast patterns with core prints, vacuum form molds, blow molding tools, and rotational molding tooling and injection mold surface splits
