Tools Manufacturer, USA
improve the design subsequently, without major investment
Objective: To reverse engineer steel strapping machine for design optimization and document design information digitally
in cost and time. It is crucial to figure out the potential design errors in the product leading to premature failure. Apart from competitive benefits, the reverse engineering process imparts manufacturers with comprehensive design information of their product, from which further innovation
Challenges:

and performing subsequent optimization to propose better design of the strapping machine
Tech to reverse engineer steel strapping machine, which possessed a design flaw that led to premature failure. The client needed to investigate the problem through simulation and needed a design solution to overcome the early failure issue.
Solution The steel strapping machine prototype was transformed into

critical areas in design requiring optimization.
Based on the analysis results, the design was optimized to withstand high stress values without failure.
Based on the analysis results obtained, it was observed that two of the machine components needed modification in design in order to sustain stress levels resulting during the machine operation. Modifications in the design were made and the new design of the machine was proposed with better ergonomics and strength against loads to withstand premature failure.
Benefits Competitive advantage in the market with improved
