Art-2-Part utilizes 3-D, parametric solid
modeling at nearly all stages of the
development process. Although SolidWorks is
the current modeling tool of preference, Pro/E
and SDRC I-deas are used at the request of
clients.
Examples of tools and analyses that Art-2-Part
has performed in the past for ideation, to
proto/test cost-prohibitive parts, to
refine/optimize conceptual designs
inexpensively, and to verify theories extracted
via experimental results, are as follows:
 | Marker-2-eMedia Ideation | |
| Quality Function Deployment (QFD) via | |
| House of Quality | ||
| Functional Decomposition/Morphological | |
| Matrix | ||
| Pugh Diagram | |
| Fishbone Diagram | |
| DfX (X = Assembly, Manufacturing, | |
| Variety, etc.) | ||
| Failure Modes and Effects Analysis | |
| (FMEA) | ||
| Service Modes & Effects Analysis (SMEA) | |
| 3D Solid Modeling via SolidWorks | |
| Reverse Engineering via MicroScribe 3D | |
| Digitizer & RevWorks | ||
| SLA, SLS, FDM, CNC, etc. Rapid | |
| Prototyping via QuickParts | ||
| Design of Experiments via Taguchi | |
| Technique | ||
| Mathematical Computation/Equation | |
| Solver via MATLAB | ||
| Finite Element Analysis via | |
| COSMOSWorks | ||
| Computational Fluid Dynamics via | |
| COSMOSFloWorks | ||
| Mold Flow Analysis via MoldFlow | |
| Kinematic Analysis via COSMOSMotion | |
| and/or Simulink | ||
| Project Mgmt via Gantt/PERT Charts, | |
| Collaboration Tools, etc. |
provide sufficient depth or a client simply
identify a required tool that is missing,
Art-2-Part will do its best to incorporate it into
the development process in one fashion or
another. Based on an assessment of the
need and required expertise, the decision will
be made to either bring the tool in-house or
contract the services of an outside agency.
Regardless of the conclusion reached,
Art-2-Part will work closely with the client to
make certain expectations are met in a timely
fashion.
