Design & Manufacturing
At AEP we have a wide knowledge of various manufacturing methods allowing us to develop cost effective and manufacturable solutions.
Mechanical Design
We utilise 3D CAD modeling to develop concepts and understand how your product behaves / will be assembled in the real world. This is the first critical step in developing conceptual designs and prototypes, leading to manufactured and assembled products.
Our team evaluates various materials and selects the appropriate materials for the intended environment and performance. Material selection is critical to the performance and intention of the product, this critical to the products durability, performance and sustainability.
Our design team has years of experience in design for manufacturing, we work with the client to understand the clients needs, product intention and amount of products required. All this information is critical to ensure the design product is as cost effective for the chosen method of manufacturing. For example if a client requested for a plastic part to be made the volume is important as it will determine what method should be used to manufacture, injection moulding, 3D printing, CNC, etc. If injection moulding was deemed suitable the number would also determine the tool cavity number and material resulting in a significant change in cost.
All products are designed to minimise as much manufacturing time as possible. This results in a reduced part complexity, machine labour time and overall product cost. This also allows for seamless integration into a high volume production method such as injection moulding or stamping.
On-site 3D Printing
Currently we have 2 3D printers, these are mainly used for rapid prototype development. They assist in ensuring the product will work and assemble as intended. These 3D printers are able to print high temperature engineered materials such as Nylon, PC and ABS. This allows us to produce accurate prototypes in the expected design materials allowing us to evaluate NVH, clipping performance, part interaction etc. Providing clients with the opportunity to get a hands on experience with the produce and provide any feedback to improve the product.
External Manufacturing
With experience in the global automotive and manufacturing engineering field we have connections to various domestic and international suppliers. This means we can offer a range of manufacturing methods such as 3D printing, injection moulding (soft and hard tooling), laser cutting, CNC machining and a range of various additive and subtractive manufacturing.
For clients looking at manufacturing high volume, we connect the client to our domestic / international suppliers. This ensures the client has direct communication and can discuss any questions / concerns with the manufacturer directly.
Hardware
Our in-depth understanding of various disciplines allows us to provide end to end solutions to our customers
PCBA Design
Our team’s knowledge in PCBA design allows us to provide complete in house solutions. By leveraging our comprehensive design process and commitment to quality, we help our clients bring their visions to life, ensuring that their products are not only functional but also competitive in the marketplace. Whether you are developing a new product or seeking to improve an existing one, we are here to support you every step of the way.
IoT Integration
The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities into design processes enhances functionality and user experience by enabling seamless connectivity and data exchange between devices. By incorporating IoT technology, designers can create smart products that communicate with each other and with users, allowing for real-time monitoring, automation, and improved decision-making. This integration not only fosters innovation but also promotes sustainability by optimising resource usage and reducing waste. As a result, IoT-enabled designs can lead to more efficient systems and smarter environments, ultimately transforming the way we interact with the world around us.
Electrical Manufacturing
Our experience in the global automotive and manufacturing engineering field has connected us to various international PCBA and electrical suppliers. For clients looking at manufacturing high volume, we connect the client to our international suppliers. This ensures the client has direct communication and can discuss any questions / concerns with the manufacturer directly.
Software
Software is critical to user experience and a huge part in products on the market. At AEP we understand the importance and offer fully integrated products that communicate with devices.
Software Design
We believe software is the backbone of a well developed functional product, our team has knowledge in various programming languages such as C, C++, C#, React, Java and Matlab as well as experience with programming for various devices.
Each product solution will vary in the level of complexity of software, this all depends on the clients product requirements. We work closely in the design stage to understand what the solution would like to implement, this may include bluetooth / wifi integration, touch screen to a simple LED indicator. The possibilities are endless but at AEP we contain the skills to bring that idea to reality.
App / Website Development and Standalone Software Engineering
AEP also provides these software services as a standalone option for App / Website development. Apps and websites are a growing field with clients opting to create apps to provide services, sell products or communicate with various products. Contact us today with any inquires and we will get back to you regarding your requested application.
