CAD Service
Reduce errors and speed up lead times for complex designs using the latest CAD technology and compatible machinery.
Our CAD Services
Our CAD technicians bring extensive expertise, ensuring even the most intricate fabricated assemblies are precisely converted into individual flat-profile components.
With years of experience as a trusted profiler, our success is built on strategic partnerships and a dedication to continuous innovation. By combining profiling, engineering, fabrication knowledge, and client-specific insights, we excel in delivering solutions for even the most demanding projects.
Through the use of large-area cutting machines and advanced nesting techniques, we maximise material efficiency across all processes. This approach significantly improves yields, delivering substantial cost savings for our customers.
Improved Accuracy
More Efficient
Better Visualisation
Cost Savings
Flexibility
Allow for easy adjustments and customisation to meet specific project requirements.
Detailed Documentation
CAD systems generate detailed documentation, including dimensions, tolerances, and material specifications, ensuring consistency and standardisation across projects
Our CAD Development Process
- Drawing
We use our skills and the latest software to draw or import your designs into our system - Drawing Quality Checks
All drawings are checked to ensure accuracy by a senior technician. - Nesting
We use our skills and knowledge to get the best material utilisation; driving costs down, meaning you get the best prices possible. - Nesting Quality Checks
All Nests are checked for consistency and specified customer requirements by a senior technician. - Updating
All nests are updated to allow remnants of material to be introduced to our internal stock library; ensuring full traceability at all times.
We Can Work With A Range Of File Formats
Our CAD team has the ability to import your drawings, ensuring the accuracy of your original design using a number of popular file formats including: DXF, DWG, SLDPRT, IPT, and STEP.
P.P. Group’s CAD Service
Our highly experienced CAD technicians can lend their expertise to a full range of 3D development tasks, including complex pieces.
We employ various software programs – including SigmaNEST®, Autodesk® Inventor® Professional, Bysoft CAD/CAM® and SolidWorks® – to achieve the design and consistency you require, providing a quick and cost effective solution.
We ensure complete mill traceability for all our own materials and can extend this service to free-issue stock upon request. Client materials are handled with the utmost care and enjoy the same yield improvements as our in-house stock.
Delivering Quality Products With Precision For Decades
"P.P. Group offered a completely different approach to our standard manufacturing methods. Adopting the latest advances in CAD software and profiling technology helped us to reduce costs and dramatically increase profitability. I would highly recommend contacting one of their Sales team to discuss what benefits P.P. Group’s advanced CAD and cutting technologies can bring to your business."
“P.P. Group managed to profile and deliver 75 tonnes of parts within five working days, which enabled us to meet and exceed our project’s deadlines. In addition, we saved significant time on drilling due to 40 mm cut holes, provided by P.P. Group during this task.
This truly flexible and swift approach, enabled us to deliver all the tunnel cutting machines for the construction of railway lines on time.”
“P.P. Group's advanced facilities and machinery enabled us to successfully manufacture a very complex baggage shield that weighed 76 tonnes for Heathrow Airport Terminal 5.”
“P.P. Group was able to supply us with materials, to manufacture six stainless steel filters, for the waste water industry. Each of these filters was 14 m x 4 m x 6.5 m high, consisting of thousands of profiles/parts, which were laser and water jet cut, as well as rolled and pressed; in as little as just four months. Due to the short lead time of such a large order, the project won a recognised global award.”
