Concept sketch proposal

Brainstorming several propositions is the initial phase of our development process. By using sketches to demonstrate ideas, we track unique solutions, bringing innovative concepts to life with minimal investment. Our constant industrial application research permits us to understand the competition and identify the evolution of similar products. The goal is to find and to anticipate innovation niches from near-future technological advances and parallel markets.

3D Modeling – Complex Shapes Parts

3D modeling is at the core of STYL&TECH’s design process. Our 3D CAD designers literally sculpt the design intent of selected concept sketches into a complete 3D CAD model. This enables mechanical engineers to integrate 3D components and systems to evaluate potential issues. Industrial parts created from 3D complex geometric shapes require high 3D molding skills and mold simulations to minimize the expensive fabrication investment. STYL&TECH developed a proven 3D technical simulation process through internal experimentation with different materials for several applications to minimize our client’s molding part expenses in the fabrication process.

3D Modeling - Class A Surfaces

In a 3D process similar to industrial clay modeling, S&T’s surfacing specialists develop 3D CAD surfaces up to class A, ready for industrial applications such as molding and stamping. From the 3D CAD data, STYL&TECH can also provides a 3D photo-realistic rendering of the client’s product before the initial fabrication.

Ergonomic Simulations

Using virtual human models (95th percentile male and 5th percentile female), our specialists can simulate three dimensional ergonomic simulations to comply regulations requirements such as ADA, APTA, FMVSS and MDR, and explore industrial safety issues at no risk.

3D Modeling and Gd&T

Engineering layout is the road map that tracks technical decisions about the product. Consistently elaborate 3D design begins with a 2-dimensional package layout to estimate a rational workspace for all of the planned elements. The 3D mechanical modeling of every component is modeled and implemented in a 3D assembly to create a complete overview of the planned product. The 3D product architecture data is used to create the product manufacturing bills of material (BOMs). STYL&TECH combines 3D assemblies with 3D GD&T to generate tolerance stack-up and clash analysis from feature to feature or part to part in the 3D assemblies. S&T creates the bridge for the part specifications and 3D GD&T leverage for part inspection planning and reporting.

Finite Element Analysis & 3D Simulations

Three dimensional simulations & finite element analysis (FEA) are executed by STYL&TECH on critical design elements and systems to simulate the product functionality. It is then possible to identify and solve issues in the 3D virtual model to avoid negative impact before the product’s manufacturing stage begins.

Product Regulation Analysis

Designed products must respect applicable industry regulations. STYL&TECH integrated this phase in its product virtual prototyping process. S&T studies regulation requirement such as ADA, APTA, FMVSS, MDR and SAE to solve issues in the prototyping process and to avoid after-sales recalls.

Manufacturing Drawings & Specifications

STYL&TECH provides 2D production drawings and specifications services for parts, assembly and installations on demand, as some technical details cannot be fully described by 3D CAD for fabrication and manufacturing phases.

Prototyping & Scale Mock-Up

Depending on the client’s new product requirements, STYL&TECH uses physical rapid prototypes or scaled mock-ups during the design process. Along with computer validation tools, a physical product contributes to a better understanding of the design. By analysing a physical model, S&T and the customer can identify areas of the product that surpass, are on par, or require improvement with the design intent. A physical model will often inspire new solutions for the final product.

Parts Manufacturing

STYL&TECH optimizes fabrication processes by scheduling multiple parts procurement while simultaneously requesting product assembly. S&T ensures accurate and quality deliveries with the help of 3D laser scanner capabilities. S&T’s qualified and certified suppliers offer: laser, water-jet, robot and manual cutting, bending, welding, CNC machining, bounding and painting. We regularly work with several types of material such as steel, aluminum, magnesium, polymers & composites.

Product Assemblies

Based on the 3D CAD data and our prototyping knowledge of joining mechanical parts, such as fastening and bonding, STYL&TECH offers assembly services for a full array of products and parts. Our 3D measurement capabilities help us install parts and components with accuracy, to follow 3D theory locations. We can assist clients from the design stage to the product manufacturing stage.

Tools Design & Manufacturing

STYL&TECH offers its expertise in the prototyping and manufacturing phase of the tooling’s design. With our proven tooling design processes and CAD capabilities, S&T offers proven solutions in a competitive time frame. We design and manufacture patterns and moulds according to the client’s and industry requirements. Our experience in this field extends to injection molding, hand-layup and RTM molds, CNC patterns, jigs and fixtures. The entire process is inspected with our laser scanning capabilities to ensure dimensional conformity.

3D Metrology – Polyworks Software Inspection Report

During a 3D metrology process of scanned data points, STYL&TECH can produce traditional or rapid interpretation inspection reports, according to dimensional tolerance requirements. The colour map contained in the report offers a rapid interpretation of the measured deviations of the part versus its theoretical model. Our experienced team can inspect parts, toolings, assemblies, buildings and work environments, just to name a few possibilities.

Reverse Engineering – Parts, Components, Products and Environment

STYL&TECH uses reverse engineering in the process of taking clay models or finished products and reconstructing design data in compatible customer CAD format to fabricate new parts or tools. From our 3D scan data we build 3D surfaces in solid model and make a comparison report based on the differences between the 3D scan data and the new CAD model. Our clients recognize us as powerful Class A surface providers.

3D Scanning for Civil Engineering

STYL&TECH uses POLYWORKS, a powerful point cloud software solution optimized to handle large data sets obtained from our accurate SURPHASER 25HSX laser scanner equipment. The point cloud alignment, measurement, and extraction capabilities are tailored to the needs of surveyors in the field of civil engineering for diverse applications, such as Bridge Infrastructure Inventories, Bridge Height Clearance Measurements, Street Intersection Surveys and Inventories of Railway Crossings. STYL&TECH has the habilities to align point by geo-referencing (in real-world coordinates).

3D Scanning for Architecture

STYL&TECH offers advanced 3D scanning services which meet the needs for architecting, building site surveying and city modeling. The strength of our service offer resides in : rapid 3D scanning and environment capture, easy geo-referencing of the entire point cloud, accurate scan alignment and deliveries, permanent 3D data visualization and measurement, quick view and 3D model build-up, 3D rendering creation and scaled architectural model fabrication.
