Design and improvement of mechanical systems and components
Brightcore System supports its clients in the design, evolution and optimisation of mechanical parts, assemblies and industrial systems.
All work is carried out as technical support, in line with the functional, geometric, industrial and operational constraints of the project.
Mechanical design and development
We are involved in the complete or partial design of mechanical systems, including machined components, notably for:
- 3D modelling,
- design of single parts or small series (turning, milling, sheet metal, etc.),
- design of mechanical assemblies and sub-assemblies,
- study and sizing of mechanical mechanisms,
- integration into existing environments or systems,
- preparation of technical documentation intended for manufacturing.
Design activities aim to combine robustness, functionality and industrial feasibility, for applications ranging from single parts to series production.
Update and optimisation of existing models
We work on existing mechanical designs with an exploitable base in order to:
- bring them up to date with new technical or regulatory constraints,
- optimise weight, geometry or manufacturing costs,
- correct and improve reliability (interferences, assemblies, mechanical strength),
- adapt designs to new manufacturing processes or different industrial partners.
These services aim to extend product lifetime and improve performance and maintainability.
Digitisation and reconstruction of paper drawings
When mechanical drawings or models are only available in paper format, we provide their digitisation and reconstruction within a mechanical CAD environment, including:
- faithful transcription of existing drawings,
- reconstruction of 2D and 3D models,
- correction of identified inconsistencies or errors,
- alignment of geometric and dimensional data.
These activities facilitate updating, operation and long-term archiving of mechanical documentation.
Technical documentation and cost estimates
We produce technical documentation adapted to mechanical projects, including:
- dimensioned and toleranced drawings,
- bills of materials and part lists (BOM),
- definition and manufacturing files
- indicative cost estimates related to materials, machining or assembly.
These elements support manufacturing activities and communication with the project’s industrial partners.
Software interoperability and compatibility
We adapt to the mechanical CAD tools used by our clients, such as SolidWorks, Inventor, CATIA, Fusion 360 or any equivalent platform.
Within this scope, we provide:
- recovery of existing 2D and 3D files,
- update and further development of models,
- migration of projects between different CAD platforms when organisational or tool changes occur.
All work is carried out with the objective of preserving:
- geometric fidelity of parts,
- consistency of assemblies,
- accuracy of drawings,
- continuity of bills of materials and associated data.
This approach allows the design environment to evolve without data loss or disruption to the development process.
Software environments are defined according to project requirements and client standards.
Work on existing files and models is carried out within the scope defined by the client, subject to the availability of source data and associated usage rights.
