CAD & Rapid Prototyping

Quest
The Queuing Event Simulation Tool, QUEST, from Deneb represents a quantum leap in the modeling and analysis of manufacturing systems.

Virtual NC
Virtual NC is a Superior interactive 3D simulation environment specifically for visualizing and analyzing the functionality of a machine tool, its CNC controller, and the material Removal Process

Reverse Engineering
Faro ARM
The Faro Arm is a counter-balanced, temperature compensated, six degree of freedom measurement arm, constructed of anodized, aircraft aluminum with precision bearings. Proprietary, hybrid analog/digital transducers at each of six joints combine to provide complete point position (XYZ) and orientation (IJK).

 

FARO Software :

1. Surfacer

2. AnthroCAM 

Surfacer provides a flexible environment that is utilized by artists, designers and engineers to meet their modeling demands from concept through manufacturing.

Key Features :

  • Scan Data/Point Cloud Features
  • Draw and Edit Curve from points
  • Draw and Edit Surfaces from points
  • Display large point cloud data as well as curves and surfaces
  • Export data in various File Formats

Rapid prototyping

Cubital Facility

Rapid Tooling
 

  1. Silicone Vacuum Casting System
    The MCP 001 ST is a simple low cost vacuum casting machine and retains the key features for precision vacuum casting but without the computerized memory sequencing featured in our larger fully automatic.
    Specifications

    Max. Mould Size (H*W*D) : 15.5*15.5*12.5" Max. Capacity of Mould Material : 800 g
  2. MCP 137 Low Melting Alloy Tool System
    Electrically heated steel melting tanks designed Specifically for melting, dispensing and reclaiming MCP low melting point alloys.
     
  3. MCP-TAFA Metal Spray Gun System
    The Tafa arc spray system is unique in its ability to put on exceptional quality metallic coatings at very high or low deposition rates, yet at a cost significantly lower than other metalizing techniques. The advantages offered by the arc spray system are:
    • Significantly lower operating cost
    • Stable low deposition rates up to 200 Amps
    • Reduced substrate heating
    • Superior coating reproducibility
    • Higher density coatings through higher velocity
    • Significantly improved bond strengths
    • Thicker coating and a more easily finished coating than can be obtained by other metalizing methods.

Stratasys Facility  Fused Deposition Modeling or FDM is a process which deposits a continuous filament of a thermoplastic polymer through a resistively heated nozzle, the material is delivered as a wire in to the extrusion head and heated to slightly above its flow point, so that it solidifies relatively quickly after it exits the nozzle.
