CADEC Limited

: Many of CADEC’s projects begin with the ideation stage—a crucial phase where concepts are explored, refined, and evaluated. This process involves brainstorming, sketching, and developing early design concepts to identify the most effective solutions. By combining creativity with engineering expertise, we establish a strong foundation for innovative, practical, and manufacturable designs. Whether starting from scratch or contributing at a later stage, CADEC ensures every project benefits from precision and attention to detail.

: CADEC were engaged to design and develop a step-frame low-loader trailer, taking the project from initial concept through to production. The work involved full CAD modeling using SolidWorks to create a robust design that met stringent strength and performance requirements while incorporating customer-specific needs, such as load capacity and operational features. The trailer was designed with manufacturability in mind, optimizing structural elements for efficient fabrication and assembly processes. Detailed 2D drawings and assembly documentation were prepared to ensure a smooth transition from design to production, delivering a reliable and cost-effective solution tailored to the client’s requirements.

: 3D Printing and SLA Nodes Prototype Frame CADEC utilised advanced SLA 3D printing technology to develop prototype nodes and components for this frame assembly. The process involved designing precise CAD models optimized for additive manufacturing, enabling the creation of complex geometries and functional prototypes. These SLA-printed parts were used for validation and fitment testing, ensuring that the final components met the necessary specifications for integration into the larger assembly. This approach streamlined the development process, reducing lead times and allowing for iterative design improvements before final production.

: CADEC Limited were engaed to develop some cocncept styles for a new rear canopy for an exisiting vehicle for a company who deal in aftermarket parts. CADEC produced a number of initial sketches which were then converted to CAD and rendered to show different options.

: Camper Van Fit – A local company contacted CADEC with respect to producing CAD models and a digital library of their camper van installations. Using existing sketches, drawings and photo’s, created CAD models, detailed drawings and renderings that could be shown to clients.

: Trailer Project – Having worked with ATT on several other projects, CADEC were asked to develop a trailer for the client main product. The objective set to CADEC Limited was to Design and then produce a full set of manufacturing drawings for a trailer. Key features, cost, style to be in keeping with the machines themselves, ‘must look solid and robust. Something required to keep cutting reel off the base of the trailer, easy to use, ideally scalable to take 2 or possibly 3 machines. The Services provided included, Ideation and Product Development, CAD Modelling, Simple Renderings, CAD Data Management, 1st OFF Prototype Part, Fully Costed BOM and Supplier identification.

: Van Racking Project – CADC were contacted by a local company with respect to a Van Racking Project. CADEC were engaged to develop racking system that could be easily modified and updated to fit into ‘any van’ using CNC routed wood sheet. Services provided : CAD Design – Fully parametric racking system, Simple Renderings, CAD Data Management. Product Development – Shelves/Racks/Toolbox Holders etc

: CADEC Limited have worked on a number of automotive chassis and suspension projects working with OEM’s and First Tier Suppliers to design and develop Front/Rear Subframes, Suspension Arms and Knuckles, both on high and low volume vehicles including Ford Mondeo, Ford Focus, BMW Mini, Bentley Mulsanne.

: CADEC Limited supported a local model railway enthusiast who had created his own 3D model of a locomotive body, after advising on the necessary changes to be made to improve the 3D Print quality, the model was printed in SLA Resin to give a smooth surface finish, the client then used the body along with a number of other 3D Printed parts and finally painted to achieve a great scaled replica model.
