From
Sketch to Final Product
Western Dynamics, Inc was requested
to design hydraulic power units that was to be small, compact and lightweight.
It all starts with a simple sketch on note paper and slowly develops into
a final product. The sketch to the right was the final drawing after some
15-20 sketches that were made. We then move to the Cad format and start
to fit each piece together. Drawings are then sent to the shop for construction,
with shop personnel suggesting many improvements during construction.
From a simple sketch, design
Cad and then to the shop, it takes a concentrated effort by many to produce
a final customer product. A review process with the customer and end user
further refines the product for the second construction unit. This evolution
process produces high customer satisfaction with the final end product.
Pictures below are of second
unit refined with customer input and design review.
