En Téciman Ingeniería aplicamos una metodología propia de diseño de piping que agiliza el desarrollo de la ingeniería, reduce los tiempos de trabajo y permite ofrecer un servicio más competitivo económicamente, manteniendo la precisión y coordinación necesarias para el proyecto.

Design and Simulation

We have professional CAD and CAE software as well as a team of highly qualified engineers to offer personalized design and simulation solutions.

CAD Mechanical Design

We carry out under computer-aided design (CAD), the development of new products even to improve existing ones. We create three-dimensional models of parts and assemblies to visualize the final product and enable necessary modifications before production.

Services

Piping design

We applied a exclusive and unique methodology aimed at improving accuracy and efficiency in piping projects.

This approach allows for the centralization and analysis of all elements of the system from the beginning (regulations, pipes, fittings and structural components), avoiding information dispersion and errors in later phases.

The differentiating aspect lies in the design of supports using accurate 3D models, adjusted to the actual conditions of the installation.

From these models, complete manufacturing plans are generated directly, with all the information necessary for their execution.

As a result, incidents are reduced in workshop and assembly, as well as the development times of the project.

Generation of part and assembly models

We design three-dimensional models of parts and assemblies, simple and complex, guaranteeing their feasibility, including the dimensions, tolerances and annotations necessary for manufacturing.

Delineation of 2D manufacturing drawings and management of CAD Data

We deliver all the documentation in 2D plans, necessary for the manufacturing of parts or document management of the project. We can integrate with the client's manufacturing systems.

Reverse Engineering and Design Optimization

We can recreate existing components in cases where the original plans are not available using the 3D scanning.

Examples

Plastic or metal parts, sheets, welded parts, special surfaces, molds and dies, handling systems, machinery, etc.

CAE simulation

We carry out engineering simulation (CAE) to predict how a product or system will behave in real working conditions. This is how we analyze how a product will withstand loads, vibrations, temperatures and other factors to ensure that it will meet performance and reliability requirements.

Simulation also allows us identify possible problems before production, saving development time and costs.

We work

Simulation of Manufacturing Processes for process optimization.
Multidisciplinary Analysis and Simulation, ensuring the excellence of the designs.
Structural Integrity Assessment, verifying the safety and optimal performance of the components.
Fatigue prediction, avoiding premature failures by evaluating useful life.
Impact and Shock Analysis, helping to improve the resistance of designs.
Thermal Study, optimizes the response of products to temperature variations.
Fluid Simulation and CFD, improving the efficiency of flow systems.
Vibration Analysis, to guarantee the resistance and stability of mechanical systems.
Design Optimization, finding the best configuration for each project.
Acoustics and Noise Reduction of sound-sensitive products.

Examples

Analysis of the manufacturing process and its stages, calculation reports, deformations, cost evaluation, decision-making support, etc.

Reverse engineering

It is the most appropriate solution when there is no previous CAD or the available one is insufficient.

We start from scanning and obtaining the point cloud through the business unit of Metrology Technician.

We then develop the solid 3D model using specific software, resulting in a file equivalent to that created in tools such as SolidWorks, Inventor, or CATIA. This 3D model is fully editable and can be processed in any CAD/CAM environment for subsequent manufacturing.

Applications

Create CAD models of existing parts or components: useful for manufacturing replacement parts or improving a component's design.
Analyze and improve a component's design: Gaining detailed information about its design and operation helps identify potential problems and improve the component's design.
Upgrade or replace obsolete parts that are no longer available on the market. Reverse engineering can be used to recreate these parts, creating functional replacements.
Create tool models for manufacturing related parts or components

Advantages

It allows the creation of precise CAD models without the need for original plans.
Save time and costs by improving an existing design instead of creating a new one from scratch.
It facilitates the manufacturing of custom parts, which is useful for repairing older equipment.
It enables the identification of problems and failures in its design and operation, helping to improve it.
It allows the upgrade of old equipment to recreate obsolete parts, extending their useful life and avoiding the need to replace the entire equipment.

Frequently asked questions about design and simulation

Is it possible to create a 3D model or CAD file from a physical part without blueprints?

Yes, it is possible to create an editable 3D CAD model from a physical part even without blueprints or the original CAD file. To ensure the accuracy of the result, it is necessary to correctly measure the part and its tolerances. Depending on its geometry and the required level of precision, different methods can be used, such as 3D scanners for complex geometries or measuring equipment such as calipers and micrometers for simpler parts.

Based on the measurements, the geometry is reconstructed through a reverse engineering process, generating a robust and editable CAD model that can be used for manufacturing, modification, or new designs. At Téciman Ingeniería, we select the most appropriate measurement and modeling method to obtain a reliable 3D model from the physical part.

What is an outsourced Technical Office and what services does it offer?

An outsourced Technical Office is a service that allows the incorporation of engineering capabilities, design, drafting, documentation and technical support without expanding the department internally. It's a common solution for strengthening teams, handling peak workloads, accelerating projects, or having flexible access to technical specialists.

At Téciman Ingeniería, we act as an extension of the client's engineering department, providing the necessary skills and resources and adapting to the methodology and scope of each project. This allows us to increase technical capacity without incurring the fixed costs of expanding an internal department.

How can the design of an industrial piping system be optimized?

The design of an industrial piping system can be optimized reducing pipe lengths, standardizing components, and defining efficient routes From the earliest stages of the project, the use of specific tools and piping modules allows for modeling the installation, detecting interferences, and reducing design errors that can lead to modifications, cost overruns, or unforeseen problems during assembly.

At Téciman Ingeniería we apply a proprietary piping design methodology which speeds up engineering development, reduces working times and allows for a more economically competitive service, while maintaining the precision and coordination necessary for the project.
