Root Cause Analysis

We, humans, have a natural gift of creativity, memory and imagination and we can attribute our ability to develop complex engineering systems to these gifts. Inevitably, the rise in complexity is accompanied by a rise in the problems that need troubleshooting. In this result-oriented world, often we don’t invest time in performing in-depth analysis in...

Quality Function Deployment

Quality Function Deployment method was deployed by Toyota in Japan in the 1970s. Using this method, Toyota was able to reduce the cost required to bring a new car into the market by 60% and to decrease the time required for its development by one-third. With these astonishing results, the method became popular and product designers are...

Advanced Product Quality Planning

Product ideation to mass production is a long and complicated process involving multiple stages. The lack of ability to counteract the obstacles faced in this process, can prove fatal to the whole system. Fortunately, many frameworks can help in predicting, preventing and remedying any uncertain obstacles. In this blog, we will discuss...

Design Thinking

The human mind is a marvellous biological machinery. It is capable of logical reasoning and wonderful creativity. The outcome of this great endowment, in this generation, is the ability to create an innovative idea that can sell. But many designers make the mistake of designing with the outcome as their thought process i.e...

Tooling Considerations for Plastic Part Design

In our previous blog we discussed various manufacturing methods for plastic parts. Although plastic parts can be manufactured by several methods, the main factor for the cost of manufacturing is always the mold. Simpler the mold, lesser the cost. In this blog, we are going to focus on plastic part design considerations ....

What You Need to Consider Before Finalizing on Your Plastic Manufacturing Process

The use of plastic or polymers instead of metal has been increasing steady over the past decade. With the inventions of new plastics every year this rate will further increase. Plastics are lightweight, quick to manufacture, cost-effective compared to metals. The strength of plastic has been a limitation but with new ....

Design Considerations for Sheet Metal Parts

Sheet metal is one of the most versatile and widely used manufacturing methods. It has a significantly lower cost than machining cavities into metal blocks. In this blog, we are go-ing to focus on sheet metal design considerations such as material selection, wall thick-ness, bend radii, bend allowance, K Factor, Bend ....

Visual Refresher on Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing

GD & T is a symbolic language used on engineering drawings to convey the design intent, dimensions, features of part & assemblies and allowable deviation from it. It consists of all the details which are necessary for manufacturing such as dimensions, tolerances, symbols, definitions, rules, and conventions that ....

Reverse Engineering: Methods, Platforms and Latest Trends

Reverse Engineering (RE) is a process of creating 3D design from existing part, component or assembly. The term is coined due to its backward direction approach for making components. Over the years with the development of CAD software, 3D scanners, and 3D printing technology reverse engineering has become an ....
