Accelerating Product development with 3D Models for Fans

The Challenge :

A client in the HVAC&R industry constantly faced persistent fitment issues during new product development. Every miscalculation in fan dimensions led to multiple redesign cycles, product mock ups and production delays leading to increased time-to-market and increasing costs.

The Solution :

To overcome the inefficiencies and reduce the margin of error, trumaxx offered a proactive solution. We developed precise 3D models of our axial fans, compatible with all major CAD platforms. This ensured that the customers design team to conduct virtual fitment simulations directly within their product. With this we were able to eliminate physical prototyping in early stages, Identify design conflicts instantly and accelerate decision making across teams.

The Impact :

The digital-first approach significantly impacted the accuracy and speed of their development process. Additionally, it also led to the following :

• Accelerated development cycles with fewer design iterations
• Lower prototyping costs by removing unnecessary trial builds
• Seamless component integration leading to smoother manufacturing transitions
