Solidworks
Our skilled team uses Solidworks – the trusted industry standard in design and engineering – to produce detailed technical drawings for a multitude of metalwork projects.
Integrated Sigma MRP Software
At Knees Engineering we use integrated SigmaMRP software to help manage our workflow and ensure that your operations are as efficient as possible.
CAD design & prototyping: how it works
Whether your project demands simple bends or more complex shapes, Knees Engineering has the CAD design capabilities to create it. Using professional CAD design software such as SolidWorks, our engineers will work with you to design parts, components, kit or assemblies tailored to the specification of your project.
We can produce detailed 3D and 2D technical drawings that show accurate measurements, angles and tolerances for smooth production and assembly. What’s more, we will collaborate with you throughout the process to refine your design, before producing a prototype for your approval.
Knees Engineering welcomes customers on board at any stage of the product manufacturing process. However, if you’re looking for us to get your project off the ground, the process typically starts with creating a CAD drawing and producing a prototype.
Bring us your ideas
To get the ball rolling, simply bring us an architectural drawing, blueprint, hand-drawn sketch or even just a simple concept or idea. Our experienced team will take the time to discuss your needs before working to convert your product or part into a detailed fabrication drawing.
Create a CAD drawing
When we’ve got a good grasp of your requirements, our fully-trained CAD design team will then use the latest industry software to create a technical 2D or 3D CAD drawing according to your specific measurements and tolerances.
Refine the design
One of the main benefits of CAD design software is that it allows us to analyse the design and identify flaws before production begins. Our team will work with you to troubleshoot potential problems and modify the design to ensure its fit for purpose in the real world.
Produce a prototype
Once we’ve finalised the CAD model, we’ll then create a prototype for your approval. All prototypes are subject to rigorous quality control checks for added peace of mind.
Upscale to full production (if required)
Once you’re happy with your design and prototype and we’ve made comprehensive quality control checks, we can then set up a full-scale production run to meet your requirements. We can even arrange for your fabricated part to be finished and delivered directly to you – it’s all part of our concept to completion service.Our commitment to you
The design phase is crucial to the success of any bespoke metal project – mistakes at this early stage could prove costly later on.
That’s why it’s important to choose a metal fabrication company you can trust to transform your ideas into great products.
With decades of experience and a highly skilled team behind us, we can do just that. As part of our service, we pledge to:
- Work closely with you to understand your unique metal fabrication requirements
- Use the latest CAD design software to produce a detailed 3D or 2D technical drawing
- Refine and enhance the design where necessary to improve usability and performance
- Create a prototype model for quality testing and customer approval
- Utilise professional MRP software to manage resources and materials
- Agree on timescales in advance and carefully manage the process to ensure there are no delays.
