PRODUCT DESIGN SERVICES:

DEP is a competent automotive engineering services provider in several areas of product design using all major CAD tools including Catia, Unigraphics, Pro/E. The skill set is drawn from dedicated people with experience in the areas of automotive and industrial design. DEP has the capability to design and develop basic component designs and also sub system assemblies and has undertaken several projects over the last 5 years.

IN the area of modeling

· Modeling: The Group's complex 3D geometrical models express built-in design intent, and behavioral modeling is used to optimize the design. The models can be completely parametric, with interdependent dimensions driven by relations. The best possible techniques are used to obtain the optimal CAD model.

· Drafting: The Group generates engineering production drawings or assembly layout drawings to match customer specifications. International drafting standards set by ISO, DIN, JIS, ANSI, BIS or other user-specified standards are followed.

· Assembly: This involves creation of initial layouts and top-down assemblies with modular methodology is our specialty.
· Tolerance analysis, Interference checks and Mass property calculation: The Group performs tolerance analysis for assemblies using the latest software. Assemblies are modified to improve stability, using information about center of gravity and moment of inertia.

· Cabling, wire harness and piping: This includes optimum 3D routing and calculation of the best cable routing paths is done with due consideration to required design parameters like magnetic and thermal interference.

Fabrication drawings and Bill of Material (BOM) generation: From the component model/drawing, the Group generates fabrication drawings with reference to the fabrication process. All required dimensional tolerances and surface finish data are added wherever necessary. The Bill of Material
