COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN

DPL Engineering has access to the latest Computer Aided Design (CAD) software and can offer a wide range of services at an affordable price.

Do you have old or broken components / assemblies? We can take the existing components and fully measure and draw them. From this information, replacements can be manufactured to exacting standards, using quality raw materials. This can all be done to very demanding time-scales. When required, we will work overnight and through the weekend to get that vital job complete.

Do you only have rough sketches or just ideas? We can convert these ideas into virtual computer models to check for correct function and make sure there are no clashes. Fully detailed drawings can then be generated. This all happens before anything is machined, eliminating costly scrap items. On approval of the design, the electronic data is utilised to program the machine tool direct, eliminating any chance of errors.

We can also assist and advise on part design with regard to "machiniblity". Put simply, the machinibility is how easy and quick a part will be to produce. By reducing the actual machining time and by using suitable cutters, significant cost savings can be made.
