Engineering

At Ardel Engineering we use the latest, best in class, software to work with and view all of your electronic CAD designs.  With customer design changes and improvements happening faster than ever we felt it was important to be able to email designs and ideas for the quickest implementation.  Manufacturing is becoming paperless; having all the viewers necessary to view any print documentation shortens the quoting time, improves the print quality and is easier for the buyer.

GibbsCAM is the software we use for creating the cutter paths for our CNC Mills, Swiss Screw machines and CNC Lathes.  This intuitive tool allows us program your parts off an electronic solid model created in any of the design software currently available.  Building cutter paths from solid models not only saves time but, is more accurate.  This tool also allows us to vary the tooling, speeds and feeds to optimize production before we actually start machining. 

Pro/e is a very powerful design tool that we use for creating solid models and designing some of our fixturing.  We choose Pro/e because of its surfacing accuracy and the fact that many of our larger customers use it in their engineering departments.  Ardel Engineering does offer design services to our customers to aid in product development.  Designs done with 3D software can be fit checked and assembled in the computer before being built.  This shortens the development cycle and ensures prototypes will function right the first time.
