Product Design and Engineering

Provide the Most Accurate Data

Product design and engineering are essential processes in the product development. They work in parallel and complement each other, directly affecting the product quality and efficiency of product design.

However, how to make sure the industrial design matches seamlessly with the final product has been a challenge for the entire industry.

First, designers need to improve their knowledge of engineering technology. On the other hand, they are required to reflect the design concepts on the products.

Therefore, it is important to figure out how to proceed with the design prototypes efficiently, and to guarantee the assembly quality before mass production.

PMT Portable Arm

In this context, the PMT portable coordinate measurement machine gives the solution. The product design processes include: consolidating and analyzing the information of the product through parameter analysis; disassembling the prototype by means of engineering technologies to create the CAD model, which is suitable for mold injection; making prototypes; reverse engineering; modeling; model manufacturing; mold adjustments and design modifications. By virtue of the PMT portable CMM, the precision during the whole process has been guaranteed. The PMT measuring arm can work anytime, anywhere, greatly improving the efficiency and ensuring quality control in subsequent production.

Case Sharing

In the design prototyping, the PMT portable measurement arm has shown strong advantages of flexibility and high precision. For example, in 2022, a processing manufacturer received a request from a leading automotive manufacturer. The car manufacturer demanded an accurate report on the product model and proposed lots of requirements regarding precision (pictures not be displayed due to confidentiality). To secure this order, the processing manufacturer turned to PMT.

After extensive communication and analysis, PMT provided the customer with a customized solution. They used the PMT portable arm in almost every process such as inspection, adjustment, modification, prototyping and mold manufacturing, and finally got a professional report, helping them get this order.

Later, the PMT measuring arm was recognized by the head of the customer’s engineering department after the project had been completed. He said, “Thanks for the support from the PMT company. The product and report just exceeded my expectations. Previously, we used manual tools but the measurements were often inaccurate, resulting in delayed records. If we use traditional tools, it will take at least 3-5 people with calipers and feelers, and it may not even be possible to complete and win the order.”

Conclusion

With the unique advantages of high precision, great flexibility and portability and extensive use in diversified industries, the PMT portable CMM is able to work in any environment anytime. It enables customers to quickly perform the product design and reverse engineering, and provides the most accurate data for them.
