Decades of Expertise, Driven by Modern CAD

At BMC Designs, our foundation is built on deep, practical experience, but our methods are purely modern. We combine the seasoned judgment that comes from years in complex engineering with the precision and speed of the industry's latest tools.

This powerful combination ensures your projects are designed right the first time and ready for the demands of modern manufacturing.

Precision Design Tools

We utilize the latest 3D CAD software to ensure ultimate design efficiency and accuracy. Our approach includes:

  • Virtual Prototyping: We build and test products entirely in the digital realm, identifying and correcting potential assembly, tolerance, and interference issues before a single physical part is ordered.

  • Data Integrity: Generating clean, exportable, and fully documented CAD models and drawing packages that integrate seamlessly into your supply chain, manufacturing systems, and regulatory filings.

  • Complex Modeling: Leveraging advanced surfacing and simulation features to handle intricate geometry, high-density component placement, and precise system packaging.

Our decades of institutional knowledge inform every choice we make, while our commitment to the latest CAD technology ensures your product benefits from the highest degree of modern engineering precision.

The Role of 3D CAD in Virtual Prototyping

3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software aids in virtual prototyping by allowing engineers to create and test a product entirely in a digital environment before any physical components are manufactured. This process replaces or minimizes the need for expensive, time-consuming physical prototypes.

 

1. High-Fidelity Digital Modeling

The core function of 3D CAD is creating accurate, dimensionally correct digital representations of every component. This process allows for:

  • Exact Geometry: Building parts with precise curves, tolerances, and mating surfaces.

  • Assembly Creation: Combining all individual part models into a single, cohesive virtual assembly. This mimics the final product exactly as it will be built.

 

2. Interference and Clearance Analysis (Fit Check)

Once the assembly is built in the digital space, the software can run checks that are impossible to do without physically assembling the product:

  • Collision Detection: The CAD system instantly highlights where two components occupy the same physical space (a collision), indicating a design flaw that would prevent physical assembly.

  • Clearance Analysis: It confirms that required gaps (clearances) exist between moving or hot parts (like circuit boards and heat sinks), ensuring reliable operation and safe functionality.

 

Key Benefits

By using 3D CAD for virtual prototyping, BMC Designs can:

  • Reduce Cost and Time: The most significant advantage is saving the time and money associated with iterative physical prototype builds and testing cycles.

  • Improve Quality: Problems are fixed digitally, leading to a much more mature and higher-quality design when the first physical prototype is finally produced.

  • Enhance Collaboration: All team members (designers, manufacturers, and clients) can view and interact with the 3D model, improving communication and decision-making.
