Challenges
Quality Limitations and Engineering Capacity Constraints in AM Parts
Additively manufactured (AM) parts were only accepted at the lowest quality grade. The normal design engineering route is aligned to more complex problems and was stretched beyond capacity.
Solution
Streamlined AM Process for Faster, Safer Deployment
A dedicated process built around AM that enables a shorter development cycle, whilst also providing sufficient underpinning and paper trail for safe deployment.
Process
Industry-Inspired, Client-Aligned Process Validated by Live Case Studies
The process is inspired by the industry best practice and adapted to align with our client's way of working. By benchmarking our workflow against the established process, we carefully balanced leanness against the emphasis on credibility and substantiation of resulting solutions. Finally, the process was validated through live case studies, demonstrating its effectiveness.
