We can offer a comprehensive range of ID services tailored for customer needs, from initial concept to delivery of CAD surfaces, including:

• Market and consumer research
• Product concepting, development and detailing
• 2D and 3D renderings
• 3D CAD files (surfaces)
• Appearance models

Technical realism is tightly integrated into our industrial design process, and CAD models are created with the same software tools used by our mechanical engineers. Not only does this reduce the need for downstream revisions, it also allows for more informed decisions regarding which concepts to accept or reject.

We have strong design experience of injection molding, sheet metal and die-cast parts. We are familiar with the latest material and manufacturing technologies, and have design experience of both low and high volume products.

• Conceptual design and redesign (eg cost reduction).
• Solid models and stereolithography files
• Engineering drawings

Design tools and documentation

• We use CATIA V5, SDRC I-Deas and Solidworks software for performing computer-aided design and drafting.
• We make sure that discussions and documents are shared only between customer and us.

Our goal is always to engineer the optimal solution for our customer's needs by considering the many aspects of mechanical design, including

• Material selection
• Structural analysis
• Manufacturability and Design for Assembly
• Cost
• Functionality and usability (ergonomics)
• Environmental aspects
• Modularity when desired
• Manufacturing logistics chain

We have full prototyping capabilities through many partners to help you bring your designs reality. Whether one part is required for concept verification or hundreds of parts for production verification/small scale production.

• Rapid prototype parts
• Machined parts
• Prototype tools & small volume tools

We can manage all part tooling for the customer or provide support with tool start and part approvals depending on customer needs.

• Tool and part quotes and supplier selection
• Technical meetings for tool start, corrections, changes and ramp-up.
• Tool and part approvals

From first parts through pre-production all the way to volume production we can provide help to guarantee fast ramp-up, part quality and high yield. Most of our team members have extensive experience working with tool-makers and part suppliers throughout the world.

Complex products or product sub-assemblies often require parts from many different suppliers. Creative Mechanics can co-ordinate and supervise this integration effort by interfacing tool shops and part suppliers at both local and global level, to provide completed products or sub-assemblies at competitive prices and lead-times.

We design product packages tailored for customer needs and can independently manage all steps of the packaging project, no matter what the project scope is. We use 3D CAD tools for design and can supply and deliver prototypes, handle needed modifications as well as manage the delivery of final product packages.

Our specialist knowledge is in the design and engineering of corrugated, cardboard, pulp and plastic packages.
