SMD embodies the values of compassion, commitment, and
adventure in our daily lives. By focusing upon these core values we will
gain a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment in our work and particularly in our
llives. We believe that we already possess the qualities of
adventure, honesty, and willingness and I intend to find ways to bring these
more fully into everything that I do. We acknowledge that I am currently
held back by my fear of success, naivety, and lack of flexibility but
choose to do our bestso that we can make difference. What really matters in our lives are business, integrity and depandability, and we commit ourlives to
remembering this each day so that we can stay aligned with our vision and
values.
Develop more accurate and reliable product designs through the unmatched 2D and 3D capabilities of SMD mechanical design solutions.
DESIGN SERVICES
Our philosophy is to create designs that are efficient, affordable and reliable. We use the latest solid modeling (CAD) software available. This helps us to recognize problem areas before they arise. We use "off the shelf" items as much as possible. Custom items cost time and money but are a necessity at times. In manufacturing solutions, such as a processing machine, often times items such as plywood, PVC pipe and channel iron are perfectly acceptable materials, other times more exotic materials are required.
We believe that the quickest and best solutions come from a firm understanding of the problem. We will spend the time necessary to collect as much information as is needed to find solid solutions. We will remain in contact throughout the design process and encourage input from your Engineers, Managers, Operators, Machinists and other staff.
We design for ergonomics. The human factor cannot be ruled out when creating design, after all, machines are built to serve humans. Our creations are often referred to as being elegant.
Some facts about solid modeling:
Solid Modeling allows you to see what you get from all angles and sections.
2D detail drawings are rapidly produced from Solid Models.
Exploded, assembly and sectional views are produced extremely quickly and may be used in Parts Manuals, User Manuals or other documentation.
Solid Modeling designed machines are manufactured with parts that fit correctly the first time. The machine is completely assembled in the computer and guarantees precision fits and elimination of costly interference errors. Alignment of holes, shafts etc. are verified visually and electronically.
Service We offer
We offer complete and partial mechanical solutions for product design, machine design, factory automation and manufacturing solutions. We have worked to develop such products as robots, laser interferometric encoders, endoscopic cameras, automated cleaning equipment, power tools and stereo cabinets. We have also created or been integral in the design of machines used in the manufacture of encoders, toys, garments and fixtures used for production and assembly.
Ask yourself these questions about your company:
Is there a high turnover of production workers?
Do we have tasks that are hazardous, boring, repetitive or mundane?
Are there a large number of claims on workman's comp.?
Are we having trouble meeting production requirements?
