The most important hurdle in solution implementation & technology transfer is lack of a streamlined knowledge base. It is a frequent occurrence that due to lack of knowledge & expertise, solutions are not implemented in its entirety. Also rapid & thorough deployment of technologies is not achieved because of the fact that some technologies are implemented in isolation. Therefore it is very important for any manufacturing organization to be aware of all the latest technologies available in the engineering industry so that there could be an increasing mindset towards solution implementation rather than technology purchase. One way to achieve this is by Knowledge Sharing & leveraging each others expertise.

Intriguity offers a platform for knowledge sharing with an endeavor to bring together technology experts & technology seekers for an indepth insight into particular technological areas by knowledge sharing. The emphasis therefore would be to focus on the technology rather than the technology brand.

Presently, Intriguity conducts 2 Workshops at periodic intervals meant for manufacturing industries & mechanical engineers.

WORKSHOP ON 3D MODELING

CONCEPTUALIZE │ DESIGN │ COLLOBORATE │ MANUFACTURE │

The Product Development Cycle can be defined as the transformation of an idea into a manufactured product. Every manufacturing company’s goal is to reduce the time required to achieve this transformation. One of the most important part of the product development cycle is the representation of the idea or concept in such a fashion so that the manufacturer can understand the same & manufacture it. Every manufacturing company’s endeavour is to streamline this communication process so that products of the highest quality at the lowest price can be manufactured at the shortest possible time.
However due to increasing complexity of products, there are numerous difficulties in this process such as manufacturability of a part, material selection, process selection, make or buy decision, product costing etc. Therefore in todays scenario products have to be designed in a collaborative environment where change is a frequent occurrence. Also time required for Design Representation & Design Comprehension should be minimum.

3D Parametric Modeling enables to design products in a virtual & changing environment. Look around and you will see 3D CAD software programs being used to design almost everything we use. Models of designs can be created and prototyped on the computer before ever actually being built, thereby reducing errors and shortening the product’s time to market.

Stereolithography rapid prototype files can be used to create prototypes, sometimes in a matter of hours, allowing designers and engineers to hold an actual part in their hands. Analysis programs can test a model for stress, strain, and thermal conditions; can find the resonance frequency of a part; and much more. Assemblies can be “assembled” on the computer, and interference checks can be made. Mass properties can be obtained and amount of material for a specific part can be calculated, both automatically by the computer.

Animations can be created to show dynamic movement of parts in an assembly, or to show assembly sequences for those putting the product together. Kinematic packages help engineers visualize dynamic motion and apply conditions like gravity and spring effects. Photorealistic rendering utilities can produce beautiful images for use in advertisement brochures. There are even document management tools that will automatically track ECNs for you.

Colloborative Engineering softwares allows real-time colloboration between designers & manufacturing personel so that products are designed in a collaborative environment with knowledge sharing leveraging the power of the internet. The list goes on and on, and it gets longer every day.

INTRIGUITY conducts an Indepth 3 Day Workshop on 3D Modeling encompassing the techniques & best practices in 3D Design. The Workshop also addresses concurrent & downstream processes such as Motion Simulation, FEA, Mold Design. The entire thrust would be to highlight the modus operandi more than brand training.

RPD – WORKSHOP ON RAPID PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

DESIGN │ PROTOTYPING │ TOOLING │ DIRECT MANUFACTURING

Global economy has led to a fundamental change in product development of manufacturers. For survival in the global market, manufacturers should be able to attain & sustain themselves as ‘ World Class Manufacturers’. It means that manufacturers should be capable of delivering products of the highest attainable quality, of the lowest attainable cost & at the right time. Rapid Product Development means deployment of technologies such as Forward & Reverse Product Development, Rapid Prototyping & Manufacturing, Rapid Tooling along with other downstream processes in combination with existing in-house facilities in designing, proofing, making & marketing.

The right product being developed in a prompt lead time is the most important winning ingredient. The use of working prototypes in bridging a multidiscipline team composed of the marketing, design, engineering and manufacturing people to design right at the first instance in catering for the customers concerns from functional requirements to environmental issues. The combination of the RP&M and CAD technologies in blending with traditional technologies and gradually formation of cross departmental company culture are the strategies for survival or strategies for empowering organisation, people and facilities.
