Design

Fully understanding our customer’s requirement is vital to the success of a project. The design stage provides the opportunity for team members of both parties to discuss, understand and agree all the relevant projects critical features.

Armed with all the information our designers then produce initial tooling designs ready for review. After the initial review any adjustments or enhancements are made and then a final design is created. The final design is then agreed and approved and converted into a complete working design with all of the relevant information detailed and ready for materials ordering and efficient part manufacture.

We use Visi CAD/CAM* software, supported by Vero to ensure we are always using the latest version. We are able to accept and interpret all commonly used industry standard CAD data. By utilising one common design package, we are able to ensure the integrity of all our data remains of the highest level.

Visi CAD/CAM is used to provide information for all elements of the tool design process, from generating 3D solid models, to producing all drawings for parts and assembly, BOM lists for materials ordering and CAM information for CNC manufacture. Fully detailed assembly drawings are provided as standard with all tools produced at Sirch.

*VISI is acknowledged as one of the world's leading PC based CAD CAM software solutions for the Mould & Die industries. It offers a unique combination of applications, fully integrated wireframe, surface and solid modelling, comprehensive 2D, 3D and 5-axis machining strategies with dedicated high speed routines.
