Project Examples
Case Study 1: Automotive Interior Component Optimization
Industry: Automotive Tier Supplier
• Problem:
A client was facing challenges with the manufacturability and assembly of a complex automotive interior trim component. The existing design led to high scrap rates and extended assembly times due to intricate geometries and tight tolerances, impacting production efficiency and cost.
• Solution:
Our team conducted a thorough design review using CATIA V5, focusing on Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles.
We redesigned key features of the component, simplifying geometries, optimizing draft angles, and incorporating features that facilitated easier assembly.
We also performed a tolerance stack-up analysis to ensure robust fit and function within the vehicle assembly.
• Result:
The optimized design led to a % reduction in scrap rates and a % decrease in assembly time for the component.
This resulted in significant cost savings for the client and improved overall production throughput.
The client praised our ability to provide practical, implementable design solutions that directly impacted their bottom line.
Case Study 2: Aerospace Bracket Lightweighting
Industry: Aerospace Component Manufacturer
• Problem:
A manufacturer of aerospace components sought to reduce the weight of a critical structural bracket without compromising its strength or stiffness. The existing design, while functional, was heavier than desired, contributing to overall aircraft weight and fuel consumption.
• Solution:
Leveraging CATIA V5's Generative Structural Analysis (GSA) and Part Design capabilities, our engineers performed topology optimization studies. We explored various design iterations, identifying areas where material could be removed while maintaining structural integrity under specified load conditions. We also refined the design for manufacturing using advanced machining techniques.
• Result:
The lightweighted bracket achieved a % weight reduction, directly contributing to fuel efficiency improvements for the end aircraft.
The optimized design passed all structural validation tests, demonstrating enhanced performance while meeting stringent aerospace safety standards.
This project highlighted our capability in advanced material optimization and structural design.
Case Study : Custom Industrial Fixture Design
Industry: Industrial Machinery Manufacturer
• Problem:
A client needed a custom fixture for precisely holding and positioning a large, irregularly shaped component during a critical welding operation. The lack of a suitable fixture was causing inconsistencies in weld quality and increasing production time.
• Solution:
Our team designed a bespoke welding fixture in CATIA V5, incorporating features for quick loading and unloading, secure clamping, and precise alignment of the component. We utilized CATIA's Assembly Design module to simulate the assembly process and ensure ergonomic operation. Detailed manufacturing drawings were generated, including material specifications and machining tolerances.
• Result:
The custom fixture significantly improved weld quality consistency and reduced the welding operation time by %.
The ergonomic design also enhanced operator safety and reduced fatigue.
The client was able to achieve higher production rates and a more reliable manufacturing process.
