Engineering and industrial DFM

3D design, DFM/DFA, FEA simulation and production drawings to take your part from concept to the shop floor, for companies in Spain and Europe.

What we solve in engineering

We turn a functional requirement into a manufacturable drawing, validated for tolerances, material and process, and apply DFM/DFA from the first sketch. What comes out of here is made through our CNC machining or sheet metal and structures, and verified by dimensional inspection.

Parametric modelling from a functional requirement, a sketch or an existing part.

3D CAD model of a steering knuckle in the parametric modelling environment

We optimise the design for manufacture and assembly from the first sketch. If you already have one, we audit it and propose improvements.

Structural, fatigue, thermal and modal analysis.

FEA simulation result on a steering knuckle: colour stress map with loads and constraints

Application and interpretation of geometric tolerances to ASME Y14.5 and ISO 1101.

Steering knuckle with GD&T callouts: position, circularity, perpendicularity and flatness tolerances with datums A, B and C

Standardised 2D drawings with views, sections, dimensions, tolerance table, bill of materials (BOM) and notes.

Standardised 2D production drawing of a steering knuckle, with views, sections, dimensions, tolerances and the Voltaris Industrial title block

Assembly manuals, process sheets and inspection instructions.

Reverse engineering: from part to CAD

When there is no drawing, we rebuild the model from the part itself, in four steps.

3D scan mesh of a machined part, with a section showing its internal geometry

3D scanning of the part

We digitise the part with a 3D scanner so we start from its real geometry, not from a drawing that does not exist.

Measurement report on the 3D model of a part, with nominal, measured and deviation values for each check

Critical measurements and constraining dimensions

We probe the critical and constraining dimensions: the ones the model must respect without exception.

3D CAD model of a turned part with pockets, rebuilt from the scan

CAD model reconstruction

We rebuild the CAD model from the mesh and the measured dimensions, ready to manufacture or modify.

Colour deviation map between the CAD model and the 3D scan of the part

Validation with a deviation map

We compare the CAD against the scan in a colour deviation map to confirm the model reproduces the part.

What you receive with every project

Native 3D CAD model plus neutral STEP/IGES files, standardised 2D drawing with dimensions, GD&T and notes, bill of materials (BOM), FEA report with loads and results, and a signed design review document.

We dimension to ISO 1101 and ASME Y14.5, with ISO 286 fits and ISO 2768 general tolerances. We design in carbon steel, stainless steels, aluminium, titanium, technical alloys and engineering plastics, using SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Inventor, NX and Solid Edge, and we measure with FaroArm and PolyWorks Inspector. We work for a range of industrial sectors. To request a quote, send your drawing or requirements through our quote request form.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We carry out reverse engineering: we 3D-scan the part, measure its critical dimensions, rebuild the CAD model and validate it with a deviation map against the scan.

Yes. We audit the existing design for manufacturing and assembly (DFM/DFA) and propose improvements before the part is released to production.

We respond within 24 working hours of receiving your drawing or requirements, with a technical analysis of what you need.
