 Below are the inside and finished mockup of laser tag gun. This model was used to secure funding, tested the layout of internal components and visited a trade show before retiring. Concept sketch to model in 3 weeks! This design proved to need several additional gussets and a little more room for routing wiring in the handles. Modification is inexpensive when prototypes can be grown rather than machined.

The finished handles!  Halves snap together with a tight fit. Machine shops quoted between $900 -1400 for a set of these. We did it for a fraction of that and delivered in 10 days.

Doing a decubing operation on a pair of prototype handle grips for a medical instrument. The part is supported throughout the construction phase by the cubing waste which allows for very thin walled construction without shifting of the underlying substrate.

 Advanced Concepts uses a variety of new methods to capture a shape for reproduction. There have been pieces having their outline traced on paper and then the outline flatbed scanned into a cad or solid modeler. We sometimes use a CMM to gather specific information about a design, or we simply laser scan an object to capture its shape and derive a polygon mesh from it's point cloud. The window latch handle shown at left is one such workpiece. This part was almost entirely a series of French curves, and would have been a real job even if it had been done on a CMM. Laser scanning was ideal for a part such as this.

A part scan derived a very nice reproduction of the object in question. No guessing as to where the center of a drive curve might be, or any other ambiguity of not having the whole surface measured. After the scanned part was imported into Solidworks, the hole was plugged to remove the need for a core to cast in a hole. Centers are instead put in the masters and after casting the parts are fixtured and drilled. The solid model is scaled to compensate for the shrink of wax and metal by +2%, something you can't get if you work straight from an original.
