Optimisation and simplification of parts
Optimising and simplifying parts in product design is critical to improving efficiency, reducing costs and streamlining manufacturing processes. We transform complex designs into simpler, easier-to-produce components. We ensure that every part meets the highest standards of quality and functionality.
Using advanced design techniques optimised for manufacturing, at INFINITIA Industrial Consulting we work on improving component design and reducing the number of parts required, creating more efficient, economical and sustainable products. Find out more now!
What is part optimisation and simplification in product development?
Part optimisation and simplification consists of analysing, adjusting and redesigning components to maximise their efficiency and reduce the complexity of their manufacture and assembly. At INFINITIA we use advanced design and simulation tools to optimise part geometry and minimise the total number of components in a product.
This process not only reduces production costs, but also improves the quality and reliability of the final product, making it more competitive in the market. In this way, the benefits are noticeable:
- We reduce production times. We eliminate unnecessary processes.
- We reduce costs. We use fewer materials and more efficient processes.
- We achieve better structural performance. We guarantee that each part is strong and functional.
- We achieve less complexity in assembly. We reduce the possibility of failure.
- We facilitate maintenance and repair. We increase the useful life of the product.
Reducing the number of parts in assemblies.
We obtain simplified and efficient products. One of the key strategies in simplifying design is reducing the number of parts in assemblies. In this way, we evaluate each component to determine its function and eliminate unnecessary parts without compromising product performance.
The product is easier to assemble, lighter and less costly to manufacture, but remains just as functional and durable. Consequently, this approach has multiple benefits:
- We achieve fewer points of failure. We increase product reliability and strength.
- We reduce assembly times. We simplify the assembly process.
- We save on material and production costs. We reduce the amount of resources used.
- We achieve a lower environmental impact. We reduce material waste and manufacturing complexity.
What is Manufacturing Optimised Design?
Optimised design for manufacturability aims to ensure that a product can be made efficiently and cost-effectively. Our vision includes the optimisation of prototypes for manufacturing, ensuring that each design is validated before mass production and avoiding costly ‘rework’ and manufacturing failures.
Hence, at INFINITIA we carry out an exhaustive analysis of each part to adapt it to the most suitable manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, injection moulding or 3D printing.
These are the advantages of optimised design for manufacturing:
- We waste less material. We use efficient geometries.
- We reduce manufacturing processes. We minimise production time.
- We provide greater ease of assembly. We ensure adequate tolerances.
- We increase the final quality of the product. Manufacturing defects and failures become minimal.
Optimisation of parts for 3D printing
Discover the flexibility and precision in the design of your product, through the optimisation of parts for 3D printing. In this way, we make the most of the flexibility of the technology, achieving lighter, stronger and more functional products.
At INFINITIA we adapt designs for additive manufacturing, ensuring that each part has the best possible structure for its printing process. This is how we achieve the following:
- We reduce the weight of the parts. This is because we use optimised internal structures.
- We consume fewer materials. We optimise geometry to minimise waste.
- We produce complex shapes. Or shapes that are impossible to manufacture using traditional methods.
- We adapt and customise parts. We create specific parts for each application.
Therefore, industrialisable design for 3D printing helps us to manufacture components at a lower price and with greater flexibility, adapting them to different industrial applications.
Design simplification for cost reduction
At INFINITIA we achieve cost-effective and competitive products. Design optimisation allows us to reduce the production budget without compromising product quality. To achieve this, we use strategies to simplify the design of components, with the aim of reducing manufacturing and material costs, making the final product more accessible, but without losing functionality.
In terms of methodology, it should be noted that INFINITIA carries out various actions in favour of the profitability and competitiveness of the product. These are some of them:
- We eliminate redundant parts. We reduce the number of components.
- We optimise materials. We choose lighter and more economical options.
- We design for automated manufacturing. We minimise manual intervention.
- We reduce intermediate processes. We simplify manufacturing.
