We provide unparalleled levels of Engineering consulting services.
” When our day concludes we are only satisfied once we know our customers are confident that the designs and product development they entrusted us with are both reliable and accurate”
- Fred Vierheller
SolidMasters provides an array of engineering and manufacturing business services. We can help with product management, mechanical cad design, setting up engineering infrastructure, document control or manufacturing.
We are well versed with the entire operations side of a manufacturing operation and can provide consulting at a level necessary to your business.
SolidMasters can provide detailed assessments of project and manpower needs as an independent judge on the cost of bringing a highly technical product to market.
Consulting engineering firm
Mechanical design and 3d model design services
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Our industrial design affiliates can offer a fresh perspective to existing concepts or established products that are ready to be updated. We will work closely with your team to provide plenty of concept choices to give you get exactly what you have in mind. For example, if you are looking for a second round of funding, photo-realistic renderings and working prototypes can show investors that you are on the right track.
PAPER TO CAD
By helping you convert your paper drawings and "blue prints" to Computer Aided Design (CAD), we can help you maintain drawings in many different digital formats.
MECHANICAL DRAFTING
We use associative solid modeling software, which keeps our 2D documentation in sync with our latest solid models. Automatically generates *.DWG or *.DXF files for users of AutoCAD or other CAD systems. Since most of our projects end up in production the value of having an accurate and up to date documentation package at the end of the project cannot be overstated.
3D CAD MODELING SERVICES
SolidMasters offers full service 3D solid modeling solutions. We have the ability to design your product / idea in 3D CAD programs as if it were a solid object. You can see the process three dimensionally as the geometry is being created. This reduces your parts time to market, as well as reducing your chance of a product being incorrectly designed. In addition, once your product is created in a 3D CAD program, a wide variety of 3rd party products can be utilized such as stress analysis, animation, conceptual rendering, CNC tool paths, and more. The 3D CAD solid modeling platforms we support will link themselves to a three dimensional assembly and to a two dimensional drawing file, so once you make a change anywhere in the design process, all of the linked files will update automatically. This is a tremendous benefit in the reduction of error/failure rate for any design process, which we can apply to each and every one of our customers.
REVERSE ENGINEERING (RE)
As computer-aided design (CAD) has become more popular, reverse engineering has become a viable method to create a 3D virtual model of an existing physical part for use in 3D CAD, CAM, CAE or other software. RE services can help you discover the technological details of a device, object, or system through an analysis of its structure, function, and operation. This process can provide valuable inputs to help create a superior and improvised design because reverse engineering is the process of discovering the technological principles of a device, object or system through analysis of its structure, function and operation.
PIPING DESIGN AND DRAFTING
Our Piping designers are responsible for the design of the piping from sizing, composition, thickness, calculating stress levels and layout to safely carry the fluids and gasses at extreme temperatures through the different chemical processes required to achieve the end product. Piping systems are critical for the desired operation of Industrial plants. Efficiently schematics and a comprehensive lay out piping systems can help in the reduction of space required for setup, increased accessibility, enhanced safety, and easier maintenance.
FINITE ELEMENT ANALISYS
The purpose of the finite element analysis is to simulate real world materials and conditions in a virtual environment, the fact that they were able to implement this into a real time renderer is in my opinion the single greatest achievement of the decade.
For those of you who don’t not know Finite element analysis(FEA) implies breaking down a surface or volume into smaller portion and upon subjecting them to a load or constraint their displacement is calculated giving a result depending on the material the object was defined as being made of and the property it has(plate, tube, bar, etc).
Structural analysis can be an extremely valuable process in manufacturing scenarios where cost, material, weight, etc., need to be optimized or where safety factors need to be determined. In addition, it can be used by product designers to analyze which design variables influence the performance or life of the product, and how they influence it.
MANUFACTURING AND PROCESS PLANING
Our services can help you plan your manufacturing process so that you can reduce your time-to-market, effectively utilize manpower, optimize the use of materials, and achieve quality standards. This planning includes process planning, master scheduling, requirements planning, and capacity planning (manufacturing control, shop floor control, and inventory control).
VALUE ENGINEERING
There are occasions where a product has become long in the tooth or perhaps the original design and engineering intent have just missed the target. SolidMasters offers the service of value engineering. Whether it be redesigning for product evolution, product quantity increases requiring more cost effective manufacturing methodology, or assisting in delivering the intended theory of operation. We are available to implement your objectives
VENDOR LIAISON
The success of a product development project is not solely reliant on the design and engineering. Vendors have a major responsibility in fabricating the design intent to specifications. Coordinating and communicating the design intent with the vendor is critical in establishing a fluid transition between engineering and production. Our diligent and professional vendor liaison efforts allow for timely delivery of accurate products, while reducing the risk for project schedule overruns, budget overruns and product release delays.
