At Design Center 3D, we work hard to translate your ideas into products through Design Thinking, Concept Development, CAD, CAM, Mechanical Design, Engineeing Drawings etc. We use the industry’s best available tools like Solidworks, Fusion 360, AutoCAD, Visualize, to give our customers exactly what they want and better.
Check some of our work on product Development and more in the contextual menu…
Laparoscopic Instrument
- Mechanism designed to provide higher maneuverability to the surgeon in hard to reach areas with a wrist like freedom of motion.
- Wide range of attachments which can be snaped into the handheld grip/holder.
- Natural grip like closure/extension of the end effector.
- Cheaper alternative yet better effectiveness.
‘New Product Development’ Projects
- Mechanical and Mechatronics engineering is heavily involved in a physical product.
- Intricate placement/planning of functions is required to fulfill the prime requirements of product development.
- Process starts with industrial sketching and technical sketching listing the mechanical principle and processes.
- Precise CAD 3D/2D design is developed for manufacturing and prototyping testing purposes.
- After thorough physical testing, production files and developed for mass production.
Indigenous Mechanism Developments
- Indigenously designed mechanisms based on specific input and output motions and mechanical advantage.
- Considering feasibility, space availability, cost, reliability, serviceability, cost etc.
- Motion study and simulation to ascertain the working condition.
Efficient Washing Machine
- A novel washing machine having provisions for collecting, drying and disposing all the waste efficiently and effectively.
- The wet waste is collected and gradually its moisture is separated and drained out.
- The plastic waste is collected in another compartment to be disposed off at appropriate area.
- The dry waste is collected in a larger compartment which can be emptied using a standard waste collection truck.
- Standard dimensions which fits most waste collection truck mechanisms.
Autonomous Air Purifier
- A self navigating air purifier which traverses all the rooms of a house to assess and clean the air within it.
- The robotic purifier maps the rooms and develops a map to travel without colliding with obstacles.
- Options to include fragrances to be released into rooms and asses air quality and sending information into the accompanying app.
Electric Toothbrush design
For Sonica Inc.
- Ergonomic design
- Unique form factor
- Subtle grip and aesthetics
An Automatic plant watering device
For Algante Inc., Feb 2019
- Fully automatic sensor enabled watering device
- App control, touch screen buttons, OLED screen
- Rechargeable, push button water tray refill
BProbe Embodiment Design
For IITD Applied mechanics dept., June 2019
- Embodiment design for a BP measuring probe
- Design for injection molding and 3D printing
- precise tolerances to house the internal electronics
- Effective size, shape, ergonomics and aesthetics
A Submersible Heater concept
Feb 2021
- This concept is designed to change the image of the mighty household electric water heater
- The immersion heaters which is used in home to heat water is inefficient, cumbersome and unattractive, which is why an attempt is made the change it’s design
- The presented concept is much efficient (thermal simulation done) and attractive which makes it desirable be rich and poor alike
A Portable washer
June 2017
- A portable human powered washing machine
- Made for customers who travel often
- Multiple concepts were developed and a preferable one selected based on aesthetics, ergonomics and functionality
- The paddle in front should be cranked to turn the drum inside which connect via a gearbox and freewheeling bearing
- Push button exist to open the hood and for draining the water from the rear
A Band-saw grinding machine
Nov 2016
- A pneumatic, semi-automatic saw band saw grinding machine is developed
- The two grinders are mounted on each side of a saw which is held in pneumatic grips
- A button is pressed for starting the cycle after the band saw is secured in the grips
- The left and right grinding wheels move towards the band saw for grinding operation.
- Limit switches prevent the grinders from over reaching
- The whole system is programmed using PLC
A Kitchen cleaning device
May 2015
- An electric kitchen cleaning product is developed from scratch
- Multiple brush attachments are used for various utensils
- Embodiment design is done for injection molding in multiple part because of assembly requirements
- The control PCB is custom designed in a circular profile which can be housed in the handle
- Rubber grips are provided for comfortable and secure holding
An Automated Closet
Design Consulting, Feb 2015
- An semi-automated closet design which can be operated with a switch, just as in the case of a elevator
- The switch drives the shelves through chains, shaft, and couplings
- The storage capacity and comfort is improved multifold since the user does not have to bend or rise more than a comfortable height for using it
- The entire setup is supported on the body which is made of plywood
BLDC Motor
Mar 2017
- A BLDC hub motor assembly modelling in Soliworks to test the software capability
- Solidworks is definitely one of the most user friendly software for machine design CAD with a robust toolbox for faster modelling
- Assembly design is very convenient with easy joints/mates
- Rendering capabilities are good enough for intermediate work
- Solid modelling is very convenient with standard, Boolean and fastening features
Modelling Man lift
Jan 2015
- A man-lift modelled in Solidworks in detail to learning the software and also to test the software capabilities
- To simulate the exact movement of linkages the dimensions had to be precise
- Every single part that can be seen in this CAD assembly (and many inside) are made personally (instead of importing any standard parts from the library)
- Solidworks is indeed very suitable for machine CAD modelling and simulation (motion, strength, animation etc.)
Rice husking machine
Design Consulting, Feb 2016
- A rice husking machine is designed and CAD assembly is developed for fabrication
- The main body is made of MDF (composite wood)
- The rotating rollers are mounted on standard bearings
- Springs provide the necessary force for rice to be husked when pulled in between the rollers
- The husk is collected in front of the machine in a container
- The necessary fits and tolerances were provided for smooth functioning
