Design and modeling

Advanced plans

The novelty of the approach employed lies in basing structural optimization on the topologies and architectures of the core materials. Structuring the geometries, rather than using higher-performing constituent materials (which in most cases leads to increased manufacturing costs due to higher raw material prices),

allows for adapting performance to desired objectives: equivalent performance with less material, resulting in reduced production costs and a lighter weight, or increased and improved performance with equivalent material quantities, or even finding a balance between these two extremes.

Methodology

After listening, exchanging, understanding and analyzing our clients' expectations, we define in partnership with our interlocutors a specification that is as precise and complete as possible, an essential prerequisite for any development.

Tools used

Design and modeling are at the heart of EC3D's approach.

Our design tools are directly linked to our internal machine park (3D printer, CNC machining).

3D modeling software

Design, surface or volumetric modeling of 3D models.

Performance simulation

The expected final features and performance are integrated and evaluated from the design stage.

Machining software

We configure the machining operations required for the models produced in 3 or 4 axes.
