Freeform Engineering can advise, instruct and
expedite projects from R&D through to commercial application. Our
proficiency with digital architecture (modelling,
scripting, optimisation and simulation) and advanced
digital engineering gives us a unique insight into
the realisation of freeform components and
structures on almost any scale.
We understand the
modelling requirements of architectural practices
and have assisted and advised architectural
practices worldwide in the purchase of rapid
prototyping equipment, and we regularly run seminars,
nationally and internationally, to
inform and generate the take up of the technology.
Specifically, we are able to assist in the
following areas:
|
| |
|
|
| |
|

We offer a wide range of
consultancy services which
can be tailored to suit specific requirements. In
particular, we are able to:
|
|
|
-
Advise how to build
and fabricate digitally derived models and parts
-
Give direction towards
prototyping and fabricating bureaus and services
-
Provide objective
information on the procurement of rapid prototyping
