Case Study 1

Client:

Leading manufacturers of pipe fittings for the water, gas and petrochemical industries.

Brief:

A revolutionary system of bolt-less fittings has been invented by the managing director of GLok.
The brief was to engineer his design for production. This took into account ease of manufacture, large batch quantities and at the same time be cost effective.

Solution:

With the support of finite element analysis (FEA) engineering the system was designed to withstand various national and international specifications. The fundamental designs of the units were set up on a spread sheet which was used to generate a database of all the features required for the various types of fittings. From this database it was possible to generate 2D production drawings.

Summary:

This revolutionary concept has been developed by generating detail drawings and supporting documentation, enabling the design to be taken into production.
