Representative projects

Most client work is covered by NDA. What follows describes typical scope, sector and deliverables rather than naming companies, because those names are not mine to publish.

Reference imagery on this page is illustrative of the sectors served and does not depict work delivered by Example CAD.

Weld fixture for a chassis subframe

General arrangement plus fourteen part drawings for a subframe weld fixture: laser-cut profiles, machined locators and toggle-clamp mounts. Locator positions held to ±0.1 mm, with the datum scheme set to match the shop's existing CMM fixture.

  • Reverse engineering · Power transmission

    Legacy gearbox housing, remodelled from the casting

    An obsolete housing with no surviving drawings, measured from the casting and its mating components. Rebuilt as parametric CAD with bore positions established from the shafts, then drawn in full to BS 8888 for remanufacture.

  • DFM · Electronics enclosures

    Sheet-metal enclosure, reworked for production

    A folded 1.5 mm mild-steel enclosure taken through a DFM pass: bend reliefs added, hole-to-bend distances corrected, flat patterns regenerated at K-factor 0.44 to suit the fabricator's press brake. Folding dropped from five setups to three.
