Designers shortlisted at plastics awards
AME Productdevelopmentsolutions was short listed as one of six finalists from over 70 applicants in the Product Design of the Year category at this year's prestigious PIA Awards
The consultancy's founder, automotive engineer Martin Gambling, says that its services can also be applied in a variety of other industries, including aerospace, pharmaceuticals, rail and white goods.
Gambling said: "The need to ensure that products are designed in the most efficient way, and within the shortest possible timeframe, is common to many industries".
"Our optimisation techniques can assist customers in achieving minimum development cycles whilst providing optimum designs".
As the sole UK distributor of Vanderplaats Research and Development Optimisation Software, GRM can offer either engineering consultancy or supply appropriate analysis and optimisation software according to the client's need.
Evidence of the value of this approach came with this year's Formula Student programme, in which GRM assisted a team from Brunel University to use finite element analysis (FEA) to work out the optimum lay-up of the carbon fibres for the monocoque design, to retain maximum strength using minimum weight.
The monocoque was not only highly efficient, but attracted the special attention of the judges to become one of only eight design finalists.
The consultancy's experience includes linear, nonlinear, static, dynamic and impact analysis techniques, using industry standard codes such as Nastran and LS-Dyna.
Gambling said: "GRM's aim is to introduce computer aided engineering and design optimisation into businesses to help them improve the efficiency of their design processes".
