Our process and services

Elogium prides itself on providing world-class, innovative solutions to customers to improve their operability.

Click on the arrows below to see the steps of our manufacturing process and services.

STEP 1:
DEFINE YOUR NEED

Contact us with your questions, specifications, or ideas for components. We define your need to improve your OEE, operability and asset strategy.

STEP 2:
DESIGN AND DIGITISE

We digitise the component and create a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) drawing to your specifications. We optimise the design for additive manufacturing by integrating DfAM (Designing for Additive Manufacturing) principles. This ensures that the design innovation is embedded into the component.

STEP 3:
SIMULATE

Using the power of simulation, we can test the design to verify the component’s performance in a virtual scenario. We can also cycle through different iterations to ensure that the design complies with your expectations for its efficiency and effectiveness.

STEP 4:
PROTOTYPE

After an accepted simulated model, we 3D print a prototype that will allow you to visualise the new component for form and function.

STEP 5:
3D PRINT PART

Once you have confirmed your design, we 3D print an industrial-grade component in metal or super polymer to align with operational requirements.

STEP 6:
IMPLEMENT

You implement the new part to improve the OEE and the operability of your assets. The e-file can be added to the e-warehouse created for your company for future use. Want to start this process? Contact Elogium for a free consultation to start your journey.

STEP 7:
TRAINING

Since AM requires a paradigm shift in order to unlock the true value, it is important to focus on the development of soft as well as hard skills. The soft skills focus on the mind and thinking process while the hard skills focus on the actual design and printing requirements for a successful print to create prototypes or functional parts.
