Multidisciplinary design office
A team with complementary profiles: creativity, innovation, technicality
Our engineers and designers oversee the modelling and design of specific solutions depending on our customers’ requirements. They offer, alongside all our production techniques (rotomoulding, thermoforming, machine welding…), the production technique that offers the best technical-economical solution.
- Specifications: technical, functional and environmental constraints Feasibility and development
- study for technical-economical solutions
- Design research, Strength of materials calculation
- Computer-assisted design (Solidworks, Catia)
- Support for certification, patenting process…
Prototyping
The creation of a prototype makes it possible to carry out a physical and functional verification of the product before commencing industrialisation and production phases.
These prototypes make it possible:
- to check dimensions
- to approve functionality
- to approve the design
- to carry out different tests for certifications
- to approve the use (kinematic, dynamic…)
- …
Different techniques used for the creation of prototypes:
GMI has at its disposal several technologies and techniques for the creation of prototypes, namely:
+ High Speed Machining (HSM)
+ 3D Printing
+ Manual modelling and shaping
+ Creation using prototype tools
Industrialisation
GMI’s industrialisation division (method consultancy, start groups, project managers) design and implements the series resources that ensure qualitative, repetitive production.
Initial sampling and customer acceptance form a key stage on starting a project, enabling both parties to ensure product conformity and compliance with specifications.
Industrial R&D and innovation
GMI’s Research and Development department actively monitors technological developments and analyses new market expectations to provide innovative solutions to tomorrow’s problems. From the environment to new technologies, our engineers anticipate and develop new processes, principles and materials to ensure that we remain a major future-oriented player.
