Client: Mechline Developments
Project: Development and Production of a Commercial Kitchen Dispenser Housing
Overview:
Mechline Developments, who supply the commercial kitchen/restaurant industry, had identified a new product opportunity. Having designed and produced a first prototype, they needed to engineer a production version.
Challenges:
Cost, functionality and external appearance were all of critical importance.
Solutions:
| Prototype mould | Solidworks IGES files were used and turned into machine code using Mastercam. Resin was then machined on our CNC router to produce the prototype vacuum mould. |
| Skin | A skin was then taken from the prototype mould once the prototype vacuum forming had been approved. This skin was used to produce the production mould. |
| Production Mould | Having proved the prototype mould the production mould was manufactured using high temperature resin from the skin. |
| Production | Components were stacked ready for assembly. |
| Assembly | We sourced and fitted hinges, locks, inserts etc and assembled the unit. |
| Packing | After assembly we inspected and packed the unit for dispatch. |
Outcome:
Bray produced a product which exceeded expectations and led to a very successful launch and roll out.
