Technologies

Technologies

Documented technologies in the Modelbel path: not a machine catalogue, but tools serving CAD → REAL.

CNC machines in a machining area

CNC Machining

Problem. Real parts, fixtures or prototypes with precise geometry are needed from a digital design.

In process. CNC machining supports prototyping, tooling and low-volume production along the CAD → REAL path.

Engineering environment with CAD and physical parts

CAD / 3D Engineering

Problem. The design must be defined, adapted or made manufacturable before becoming a physical part.

In process. CAD and 3D engineering connect idea, geometry and process choices in the Understand and Engineer stages.

3D measurement / scanning of a part with markers

Reverse Engineering

Problem. A physical component must be reconstructed, updated or brought back into a digital and manufacturing path.

In process. Reverse engineering supports redesign and technical restart when the starting point is not a complete CAD.

Mold / tooling equipment

Molds & Tooling

Problem. After validation, tooling is needed to make the manufacturing process repeatable.

In process. Molds, models, fixtures and gauges translate a validated product into a supported process.

Materials

Problem. Material choice affects prototype, tooling and manufacturability of the component.

In process. We work on documented paths including metals, plastics, wood and related processes for prototypes, molds and pre-series.

Physical plexiglass prototype

Prototyping Technologies

Problem. A physical part is needed to verify form, function or process before production.

In process. Prototyping technologies feed the Prototype and Validate stages of the Modelbel method.
