Genau Design now offers 3D CAD Services
April 16, 2010 – Pasadena, CA
Genau Design today announced that it is offering 3D
Computer Aided Design (CAD) services to industry and hobbyists
in the Los Angeles area and nationwide through its website GenauDesign.com.
“Three-dimensional CAD is a critical piece of any new
product development program,” says Henning Zieger, co-founder
and managing member of Genau Design & Development, LLC. “3D
CAD is a stepping stone to mass production tooling; that’s
nothing new. It’s what we can do with 3D CAD that sets Genau
Design apart,” continues Zieger.
Photo rendering services give high-quality images for pre-sales
activities
Genau Design has experience in both product development and
graphic design. “We are experienced in studio photography
and have an intimate understanding of lighting and how that affects
surface modeling and part reflections,” says Zieger. “It
also allows us to create virtual rooms like a real photo studio,
further enhancing the rendering's appeal. This experience helps
us make photo-realistic renderings
that not only communicate, but makes your pre-sell collateral
look professional.”
Genau Design in-house graphics capabilities start with Pro Engineer's
PhotoLux rendering software. Colors, textures and reflectivity
are chosen to best represent a part. Renderings are then captured
in a high-resolution pixel file format. Final photo retouching,
clipping, color corrections and other adjustments are made to
properly communication a part's features and form.
Genau Design uses industry-leading Pro Engineer CAD software.
Pro Engineer by PTC is an industry-leading
CAD software package used by organizations in the Industrial,
High-Tech, Aerospace and Defense, Automotive, Consumer Goods and
Medical industries to support key business objectives. Pro Engineer
is able to handle large assemblies in a collaborative environment.
Genau Design’s experience with ProE has given them a large
asset bank of CAD details. For instance, drawing a thread in CAD
is critical for any 3D prototype
printing. Genau Design is able to draw any standard or custom
thread as a real, parametric solid, which allows a rapid prototype
to have the details necessary to print a thread that actually
works.
Genau Design can create 2D CAD drawings of its customers’
parts with the option of using corporate drawing formats. Final
drawings can be made as electronic files including Adobe PDFs,
Adobe Illustrator or raw vector-based files.
Genau Design CAD services document your legacy parts in 3D.
Genau Design CAD services are used by its customers to document
older parts in the more versatile 3D environment. Parts received
from a supplier without a drawing, or a product made years ago
now seeing a revival in interest can be documented in 3D CAD.
Reverse Engineering allows legacy parts to be brought into 3D
to ensure a good fit in assemblies, for documentation control
and for current and future modifications. Genau Design Reverse
Engineering services give customers a chance to gain the efficiencies
of today's product manufacturing environment.
3D solid modeling is critical for Rapid Prototyping, CNC manufacturing
and Injection Mold Tooling. Many providers cannot offer a quote
using 2D drawings since much of their operations are built on
the powerful capabilities of 3D modeling. Genau Design offers
its CAD services to help companies bridge this gap.
The company accepts any two-dimensional drawing for three-dimensional
conversion including vellum plots, DWG, DXF, PDF, BMP, TIF, AI,
JPEG and even the classic "drawing on the back of an envelope."
The company’s website includes an online quote tool to help
customers get started at www.genaudesign.com/cad-quote.html.

Genau Design now offers Rapid Prototyping Services
March 8, 2010 – Pasadena, CA
Genau Design today announces that it is offering 3D
rapid prototyping services to industry and hobbyists in the
Los Angeles area and nationwide through its website GenauDesign.com.
The company has over 10 years of experience in making prototype
models, research and development models, proof-of-concept models,
aesthetic models and pre-production validation models for consumer
products and medical equipment device manufacturers.
“Technology today allows people to view the results of
their CAD efforts very quickly,” says Henning Zieger, co-founder
and managing member of Genau Design & Development, LLC. “We
have years of experience in not only making prototypes, but also
introducing successful products to the marketplace,” continues
Zieger. “The best way to get a customer excited is to make
a real part, and we know how to do that.”
Genau Design offers prototypes
made with ABS plastic, the same materials used to make your
home phone or inkjet printer. The company claims that this process
is better than other rapid prototyping techniques because the
resulting parts’ properties more closely resemble a mass-produced
part. The company also offers “Finishing
Touches” including chrome plating for customer presentations
and focus group studies.
The company’s website includes an instant
online prototype quote tool that provides an immediate quote.
Customers can select part resolution and from seven part colors
including white, yellow, red, green, blue, gray and black. Parts
can be made form STL and NEU CAD files.
