- Design for Manufacturing
To turn conceptual designs into full scale solid models, PCDworks uses a SolidWorks based modeling organization, and offers the ability to import and work with almost any format of model.
To take simulation to the next level, we employ COMSOL multiphysics package on concepts and designs that require further modeling before moving into the physical realm. This tool allows us to perform analyses such as:
Our engineers are experts at all of the standard ME disciples
In addition, we have local outsider consultants and have worked in
Once a design has been proven feasible through prototype design and fabrication, PCDworks leverages its great collective experience in manufacturing and DFM to create strong, cost effective designs, minimizing the time and effort to go from prototype to production units.
