Prodtex have in-house engineering competence necessary to make a complete and production friendly design, all model based.
Design & Engineering
3D Visualization
Design & Engineering
We perform and offer engineering services in all kinds of projects. Both complex and simple challenges are solved by a multidisciplinary team of experienced engineers. We offer product and specification development, structural analysis, operational simulations, manufacturing documentation and planning, and more.
Our large network of quality suppliers always ensures that the components offered is the reliable choice.
Engineering
Modern engineering tools enables new and efficient design and engineering processes. Where the industry up until today have been depending on paper documentation for production, modern production equipment allows usage of digital production data.
We can deliver production documentation based on the customers needs, both conventional and modern formats. For internally developed solutions we already deliver complete paperless production documentation packages.
We can offer the following engineering services:
Engineering management
Mechanical engineering
FEM analysis
Automation engineering
Safety engineering
Support long lead procurement
Naval architecture
Concept Design
The work leading to a good design solution starts with analysing and understanding our customers business model and strategic goals. Furthermore, we acknowledge the importance of fully comprehend the current production process. This is accomplished by utilizing the customer’s process knowledge, so that we can propose the best suited process design solution.
Our interdisciplinary team with wide industrial experience, can lead and/or provide support in the design process and define requirement specification and goals alongside the customer.
We recommend customers to introduce a digital twin already in the conceptual phase, and continuously develop the twin through the process lifecycle. In the conceptual phase, a simplified 3D model of the desired solution is defined. The 3D model is working as a “data carrier”, in which we assign basic physical behavior and kinematics. By utilizing this methodology, initial behavior simulation can be defined and studied. This enables early identification of possible design flaws and thus prevent large rework operations in the detail engineering phase.
3D Visualization
When it comes to doing business, the ability to communicate with your clients is essential. 3D rendering and visualizations makes it a lot easier to sell the product in a presentation than a dead and dry description. It enables you to demonstrate what the product will look like in details step by step. The clients can explore it with their own eyes, and they can see how it will develop from beginning to end. Visual communication is a key factor in modern business and deciding to use it or not can make or break any potential sale.
Project Simulation & 4D Planning
Another common use-case for 3D visualizations is to present projects internally in businesses, for instance to a decision-making group of people, like the board of directors.
Complex products and projects often have a manufacturing process that consists of many stages. With the benefits of 3D animation and visualizations it is possible to visualize each part of the process in detail. Thus, it is possible to see the advantages and spot the bugs and errors in the design at an early stage before manufacturing is initiated. Being able to use such tools as a project simulation makes the whole investment more cost-effective.
When adding time as the 4th dimension to the model we can visualize the progress of construction, plan cycles times to achieve a good production flow and check for clashes in space and time.
Marketing Material
The advantage of 3D over traditional blueprint is that 3D tells the whole story of the product, mentioning its environment, functionality and users. We can create 3D images, films and animation either from scratch or by using already existing CAD data from you or your client. There are different use-cases for images and videos, for instance if it shall be used in presentations or being published online. To make an animation video during the concept phase of the project is something we advise customers to do, since this gives the viewer a much deeper understanding of the product.
