Design & Engineering

The design function at Nelson is an integral component of our organization. This area is essential for both our own proprietary products as well as assisting our customers with their own product development. Our skilled technicians combine the use of modern design software and extensive manufacturing equipment to develop products from concept right through to completion.

Nelson Industrial Inc. provides design and engineering support services in the following areas:

• Mechanical; Thermal; Compliance; Industrial Design; Electrical; EMC; N.P.I. Computerized Resources Include:
• 12 CAD/Cam stations; Solid Edge, Solid Works, Cadkey, AutoCad, AutoCad LT, Fabriwin, and Cadman
• File Handling Capabilities are DXF, DWG, DWF, IGES, STEP, PARASOLID, and STL

Projects initiated through the computer assisted design process are electronically transferred to programming stations then downloaded directly to the production machines on the shop floor. This is a continuous process that minimizes error, offers great flexibility for revisions and reduces the time required for product development.
