Design of Manufacture Technology

The ever changing manufacturing world creates increasing demand on engineers to make their best possible decisions in terms of product design and manufacturing process at decreasing costs and a faster pace requires knowledge of methods in design optimization.

Optimization has become a necessary part of product design and decision-making activities in mechanical, manufacturing and mechatronic engineering.

The team at Hamilton By Design utilize the technology and its applications to produce virtual solid models which offer advanced optimization techniques in product design and manufacturing processes.

These latest developments on design and manufacture processes offer our team an array of optimisation tools and advanced manufacturing techniques which offer real options in resolving product design and manufacturing issues or challenges.

Hamilton By Design have developed vast expertise over the past 20 years in the design and manufacture processes which is based on first principles of engineering as there is no point to design pproducts that cannot be produced.

Mechanical and Structural

Hamilton By Design a mechanical and structural drafting services company that was founded in 1995, and is the leading in providing function mechanical and structural design. The team at Hamilton By Design have been using Soildworks for more than 10 years. In 2005 Hamilton By Design released there first version of Smart Structures that runs on the Solidworks platform. Smart Structures has been used to model and detail drawings for steel making, factory plant layouts, processing plants with 3D Pipework.

Smart Structures is so easy to integrate into any design drafting system offer immediate saving over the traditional methods of solidworks or autodesk Drafting and 3D modelling techniques.

Product Development

One must argue that functionality takes precedence of form, there is no point to have a product that looks fabulous yet performs like a warm beer on a forty degree day.

Design For Manufacture


Design for manufacturability is the general engineering art of designing products in such a way that they are easy to manufacture. In general terms the basic idea exists in almost all engineering disciplines, but of course the details differ widely depending on the chosen manufacturing technology. This design practice not only focuses on the design aspect of a part but also on the the designs opens ness to cost effective production.

The design stage is very important in product design. Most of the product lifecycle costs are committed at design stage. The product design is not just based on good design but it should be possible to produce by manufacturing as well. Often an otherwise good design is difficult or impossible to produce. Typically a design engineer will create a model or design and send it to manufacturing for review and invite feedback. This process is called as design review. If this process is not followed diligently, the product may fail at manufacturing stage.

If these design for manufacturability guidelines are not followed, it will result in iterative design, loss of manufacturing time and overall resulting in longer time to market. Hence many organizations have adopted concept of Design for Manufacturing.

Depending on various types of manufacturing processes there are set guidelines for Design for manufacturing practices. These guidelines help to precisely define various tolerances, rules and common manufacturing checks related to Design for manufacturing.

The team at Hamilton By Design have a unique combination of manufacturing experience along with extensive industrial /product design experience. For more information on or to find out whether your product design is suitable for manufacture contact www.hamiltonbydesign.com.au
