Hallam’s product design support and prototyping services are key elements of the company’s positioning in the challenging UK and European B2B contract manufacturing market. The quality and scope of this element of the Hallam offer is being transformed through the implementation of a radically improved IT platform with sufficient capability to support market-leading innovative design and simulation software and link efficiently to Hallam’s prototyping and testing facilities, including CNC machining, 3D printing and mechanical property assessment.
New servers and powerful design PCs will support “premium” versions of SolidWorks and Onshape, allowing more complex, motion-based stress analysis (FEA) to be undertaken in-house, together with computational fluid dynamics, mould flow optimisation (currently undertaken externally), analysis of a wide range of alternative materials, including aluminium alloys developed in-house by Hallam, together with the construction of complex assemblies. The software even allows the design and development of electrical components.
The upgrade will allow Hallam to become a market-leading provider of design and simulation facilities and services, capitalising on the company’s exceptional supply position combining design support with competitively priced manufacturing capability, providing an ideal basis for partnership development with innovative OEMs.
