What is 3D Computer Aided Design?
3D Computer Aided Design (CAD) is the process of creating an accurate and interactive representation of an object, using specialist software. It helps transform an idea into a visual concept which then helps to better understand your design and adapts quickly to any changes, ensuring a smooth process during development.
The process has evolved over decades of improvement on traditional methods such as using a drawing board with a pencil and paper, through to 2-dimensonal software. 3D Modelling then took the next step which was to offer the ability to add another dimension, making what would be complicated parts significantly easier to work with.
Multi Purpose
3D Modelling offers a wide range of advantages over the traditional 2D designing method throughout all stages of the design process. From visualising your initial concept, modifying existing designs and offering the ability for your customers to download universal file types for them to use your components within their design.
Sheet Metal Design
With an extensive background in sheet metal design, we ensure the process is simple and efficient with the ability to provide flat patterns for your final design. These universal file types can then be sent directly to any supplier, giving you the ability to receive accurate quotes and remove ambiguity.
2D Conversion
Do you have an archive of drawings for legacy products that you wish to have converted into 3D CAD? All you need to do is send an electronic or hardcopy of the original drawing, and we will transfer this information into a 3D format that you can use for any future development and improvement changes.
Product Development
If you have an idea for a new product but don't have access to the necessary resources to take your idea to the next level, we're here to help bring your ideas to life and create the necessary interactive files. The files can be exported into universal files, giving you the ability to get important feedback from your potential customers and suppliers.
Reverse Engineering
If you have manufactured a part without any documentation such as CAD models or manufacturing drawings. Our services can help you document your design in a manner that offers repeatability, security and traceability throughout the stages of modifications and development.
Our philosophyQuality & Confidence
Throughout my 10 Year Engineering career, I’ve had the privilege of gaining an understanding of designing for a multitude of different industries, ranging from Industrial equipment through to Automotive and Aviation.
These industries, although very different share the same principle of adhering to standards and traceability which I have incorporated into the daily tasks of O’Brien Engineering.
Confidentiality
We pride ourselves on customer confidentiality and encourage the practice of NDA's to protect our clients designs.
Ownership
Any documentation or file that we create will remain your property, ensuring that you have complete control of distribution and intellectual property rights.
Communication
We believe that communication plays a critical role in the success of any development and we keep our clients updated, every step of the way.
