The KERBS design team utilizes the latest Multi-physics computer modelling techniques that allow us to fully simulate and model every aspect of our devices. This covers areas such as fluid dynamics, mechanical performance, electrical performance and material stresses.
This single modelling method can provide accurate performance and behavioural data of our designs and allows new concepts to be simulated on computer allowing fast confirmation and verification of initial designs and material selections.
We then utilise Rapid Prototyping, using a range of techniques including SLS, SLM and 3D Printing. If required, we are able to develop these prototypes using super strong material such as Titanium (at 97% density), Stainless Steel, Cobalt Chrome and Tool Steel as well as a wide range of plastics and composite materials. These methods of prototyping allow swift testing and confirmation of test results and design.
With this prototyping data, we then have the ability to fine-tune our computer models to actual test results thereby increasing the accuracy and effectiveness of our computer modelling programs for further re-development activity or for trials of future design concepts.
