Computer-Aided Designing (CAD)
Datum provides a full range of CAD services, including 3D modelling, 2D part and assembly drawings, composite ply definition, model-based definitions, rendering and animations. Our Design Team has diverse expertise and experience, which enable us to provide exceptional service, no matter the complexity or size of your project. Each member of our team is continuously trained to use state-of-the-art technology, including up to date workstations and software solutions.
Composite Material Selection & Process Design
We have extensive experience in the composite industry. Our Composite Engineers and Materials specialists can help determine which materials are optimal for your application, so that your product meets the performance, quality and safety criteria at the lowest cost. We are experts at numerous composite manufacturing processes, be it conventional, additive or automated. Our Manufacturing Engineers can assist you in determining the most cost-effective method applicable to your application based on factors such as functional complexity, production volume and tolerances. In addition, we can devise bonding and assembly strategies, quality control plans and machining process plans.
Composite Modelling and Structural Analysis
Datum provides the highest quality composite modelling and analysis services. We specialise in finite element analysis (FEA), design optimisation, aeroelastic tailoring and mould flow simulations. We use industry-leading simulation packages to perform linear and non-linear, static and dynamic structural analysis on composite parts and assemblies. Our composite design optimisation offerings include parametric, topological and ply-layup optimisation.
Engineering Project & Programme Management
Datum's multidisciplinary project teams and bespoke technical solutions will ensure that all our projects meet safety, quality, cost, delivery and environmental requirements. Our skilled project managers will ensure that our company's most effective level of expertise is always applied to your project.
