Design


Design
: Our design office is equipped with the latest Solidworks and AutoCAD software. This allows us to quickly convert customers concept ideas into 3D computer models, CNC programs & production drawings. We are able to import component information in all of the main formats including iges, step & dxf . The years of diverse experience enjoyed by our design engineers means that we are able to offer practical assistance whatever your design requirements may be.

Tooling Design: We have many years experience designing tools for our own requirements as well as those of customers from around the world. Our designers are familiar with design for production issues, maintenance & repair requirements & the need for cost control. We can design low cost tooling for low volume work & tooling suited to high volume semi or automatic injection moulding applications. We can advise on plastics selection & suggest ways to optimise component design to reduce tool & part costs.

Component Design: Our years of mould tool design experience has equipped us to assist in the optimisation of component design for manufacture. We have experience in the design of plastic components based on client specifications for a diverse range of high spec. engineering applications. Where components have traditionally been machined from solid, we have the expertise to fine tune the part design to make it suitable for injection moulding. As part of the design process we also recommend suitable thermoplastics and options for additives. We take a great pride in solving our customers design problems and coming up with innovations to minimise manufacturing costs.

Special Purpose Machines: Hymids "one stop shop" approach means that the design of special purpose machines was a logical step for us. We have experience in the design of electrical pneumatic & hydraulically actuated machines for a wide variety of process automation requirements. Our sophisticated modelling software means that we can animate & visualise a machines operation to test for function & interference before any expensive manufacture takes place.

Jigs & Fixtures & Machined Components: Hymid designs a wide variety of jigs & fixtures for assembly and production to back up injection moulding activities. Alongside this we will provide any machined inserts that may or may not need to go into your mouldings. We also manufacture jigs & fixtures for many other engineering applications to customers unique specifications.

File Formats: We can handle a wide range of file formats including DXF, IGES, STL, STEP, DWG, ACIS and Parasolid file formats.

3D Modelling : We work closely with customers on component and product design. Utilising the latest in 3D software we can ensure the that our production tooling meets with the required functional and aesthetic requirements for your needs. Our advanced software suite helps customers to quickly visualise the end product.

Customer Service : Above all, we believe in customer service and work with our clients throughout the entire design process. By taking the time to talk to you we can ensure that our interpretation of your preliminary ideas results in the end product that you want. The ease of modern communications means that we can involve the client at every stage of the design process and are happy to send progress drawings in 2 & 3D to help our customers visualise progress.

Quotations: We are happy to provide quotations for a wide variety of design, prototype or production work & will quickly reply to your enquires. We aim to provide our customers with total solutions to their production problems by working as a one stop shop, helping to save money and time.
