CAD modelling, DFM, calculation tools and, with CadWork, design and production.
With our experience and the quality of our industrial design we can meet the most diverse needs and offer a highly skilled, fast and efficient service. Our cooperation with CadWork Ltd guarantees superior quality in all the services we offer our customers.
We model in 3D everything a simulation needs: geometric variants of the parts, feeding and runner systems, overflows and vents. Changes emerging from the simulations are applied directly to the CAD model, so each variant can be checked straight away. On request we also provide 3D modelling independently of a simulation job.
We prepare and review CAD models so that they are suitable for die casting or molding: draft angles, fillet radii, wall thicknesses, undercuts and parting lines. We support the customer in moving a component to these processes, checking feasibility already at the design stage, also with the help of simulation.
Have you received simulation results from another supplier and want to understand them better or check their assumptions? We analyse the report and, if available, the simulation files: we check the material, process parameters and settings used, help you interpret the results and turn them into concrete decisions on the mold and on the process. The same method we apply to our own studies, as in the Simulation vs Reality case.
We develop spreadsheets dedicated to the needs of the technical office, usable even independently of a simulation job: for example the preliminary sizing of gates, feeders and injection parameters in die casting, the processing of laboratory data for material characterization, or the evaluation of stress coefficients to choose the most suitable equivalent stress in structural calculations. In our daily work we also use artificial intelligence tools to speed up data processing and calculation checks.
The technicians of CadWork and FlowService can support production staff, helping to monitor and check the finished products.
Molding and mold sampling at the press: we have experience in mold sampling and in setting up the molding process; when needed we can also assist the customer in this phase, linking the parameters obtained in simulation to the real production ones.

A good idea is the basis of a good product. We at CadWork and FlowService know how to develop great ideas starting from your needs. Our working philosophy is based on co-design, where our experience in product engineering meets your styling work, creating a strong synergy.
More on cadwork.itA different design approach is needed when the part already exists or there is a physical model. Through our partners, the shape of an existing object can be recovered with a reverse engineering process. This provides the geometry of the part, which can then be modified if needed.
More on cadwork.itBy engineering we mean making mechanisms work and making sure the objects designed can actually be manufactured and assembled. Over the years we have taken on many challenges, for companies in very different sectors. The experience gained on many different projects allows us to work smoothly in various fields: household appliances, houseware, furniture, automotive, medical, technical articles, etc.
More on cadwork.itThe design of a highly efficient mold is the key to a successful production. All design stages, from concept to verification, aim at a functional mold that is reliable over time. Our expertise allows us to design complex molds, including those with articulated mechanisms. Today we design molds for zinc and aluminium die casting, thermoplastic and thermoset injection molding, two-colour co-injection, etc.

More on cadwork.itThrough our partners we can provide 3D (CTR) and 2D (measurement report) geometric inspection, even of complex parts. Checking the tolerances of an object allows us to offer what we call "product certification".
