Engineering & Project Development
We design custom components and processes based on scientific modeling and shop-floor evidence. Deliverables include concept options, CAD/FEA reports, bill of materials, and implementation plans.
Capabilities
Capabilities
- CFD/FEA simulations for flow, stress, and thermal behavior
- Material selection and heat treatment definition
- Process debottlenecking and line balance
- Stage-gate project management with KPIs
Outcomes
- Predictable performance before fabrication
- Lower prototyping cycles and cost
- Safer operation under design limits
Casting Models for Foundry
Precision patterns for consistent casting quality and dimensional accuracy.
Scope
Scope
- CAD/CAM patterns and core boxes
- Gating and riser design for soundness

How We Work
Define objectives, collect data, and establish KPIs and constraints.
Run simulations, select materials, and create design options with trade-offs.
Review with client, pilot if needed, finalize BOM and implementation plan.
Supervise installation, commissioning, tuning, and operator training.
Track KPIs, audit periodically, and run improvement sprints.
