Sheet metal Case Study
Caesol was contracted by Falcon Fires, to design a new Wood burning stove that they could manufacture in-house.
This project required the use of our cad /cam system and help set up falcon fires CNC manufacturing equipment for punching and forming. Caesol also provided marketing material such as photorealistic rendered images and animations.
We worked closely with Falcon Fires to come up with a design and that would suit their needs and also minimise manufacturing costs.The first design specification requested a contemporary appearance and have the ability to be loaded from both sides. The stove was designed to be manufactured using a using falcon fires in-house equipment of sheet metal punching, forming, welding, pemming and painting, allowing us a flexible approach to the project. Regular onsite updates were provided to the client along with fully interactive 3D models using eDrawings to ensure the client was satisfied with the design and to approve any requested modifications.
Once the client approved the design a full set of manufacturing drawings, CNC punching programs and set-up sheets compatible for the "Trumpf 500", and forming sequences and dimensions for their "Bystronic" press brake were provided by Caesol .
After successfully testing, the client requested a second revision with an extended design spec adding more features such as an easily removable ash pan and convection fins to boost the efficiency of the stove.
The second revion was designed and built and then tested within the client own home. This revision then went into general production and proved successful , the client later expanded his range offering variations of the design such as a single door option and inset stove.
Rendered images of various finishes,colours where provided for printing and for use in their website along with an animation for use at various presentations and shows.
