3-D printing is an additive manufacturing method used to rapidly produce three- dimensional objects. Some applications include 3-Dprinted prosthetics, dental moulds, art, tooling and general research.

Resolution Circle’s 3-D printing Tech Station contributes to a critical part of the research and development department, as it is utilised for rapid prototyping when a product under development needs to be evaluated for functionality, assembly and aesthetics.

The basic process flow to perform 3-D printing is to firstly draw a 3-D CAD model of the part to be created, to export the model to the 3-D printer’s software, to interpret the model and generate the corresponding machine toolpaths and finally to print the part.

Post-manufacturing finishing of printed components is often required, including processes such as removal of support materi-als and light sanding.

Lab capabilities Desktop 3D-Printers

These printers are used as a means for fast and cost effective print models. They are fairly accurate and relatively low in price, but offer a small print size.

Our composite materials technology station’s primary function is to manufacture composite products from hybrid materials such as fiber glass and carbon fiber. These products can vary in size and shape and are accurately manufactured using CNC machining and CAD design technology.

Lab Capabilities Components manufactured from composite materials Vacuum bagging hand lay ups Resin infusion Post curing Pre-impregnated materials Mold manufacturing CNC Routing

Composite material is classified as two or more fundamental materi-als engineered into a single body with different physical or chemical properties. The different materials remain separate and distinct within the final structure at a macroscopic level, but they complement one another in order to create the desired composite material properties.

Composite materials are mostly used for their favourable features such as light weight, good fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance, comparatively low price and shape complexity.

Unique moulds for the composite materials may be manufactured ei-ther by CNC-machining the entire mould directly out of the desired material (wood or polystyrene) or CNC-machining a plug for moulding purposes, which adds split line capabilities to the moulds.

Computer Aided Design (CAD) is software that enables the design of three-dimensional objects in various digital formats, which allows designers and engineers to construct and evaluate designs in virtual reality before production. The primary advantages of CAD in the design process are increased flexibility and time efficiency. Resolution Circle’s CAD-station consists of 10 high-performance CAD workstation computers, especially equipped with features to ac-commodate the requirements of advanced resource-hungry software.

Lab Capabilities

MechanicalA complete up-to-date commercial mechanical CAD software pack-age is available which facilitates a digital design process including modelling, Finite Element Analysis, Product Data Management and Nesting functions. These functions enable the client to take a design from conceptualisation through to refinement for manufacturing using one software package.

Architectural SystemsRevit MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing) is system design software mainly used for architectural designs. A key feature of Revit is the software’s change management functionality: any design mod-ifications (be it mechanical, electrical or plumbing) will automatically be propagated throughout the entire design to ensure all changes are taken into consideration so they can be properly merged.

ElectronicsAltium Designer and OrCAD are electronic design automation soft-ware packages for printed circuit board and embedded software de-sign. Used in conjunction with each other, they provide an efficient workflow for board-level electronics designers as they ensure design success by reducing the overall design times. Functions include: schematic capture, printed circuit board layout design, 3D modelling and output generation for final manufacturing.

Chemistry Lab

The chemistry laboratory at Resolution Circle is a multi-purpose facility that plays an important role in a number of product development processes as well as quality control and substance detection, for both inventors and industry.

A few noteworthy capabilities include:

Process modelling - complicated chemical processes and reactions may be accurately modelled in software to obtain predictions regarding process performance. This allows for process engineering endeavours that do without the costs of traditional lab-based experiments. In addition to this, the software-based process modelling may be used as a precursor to real-world tests, such that the modelling ensures that only the most feasible method is selected before doing the more costly pilotscale experiments. Software modelling may also be required when up-scaling to ensure that the trials scale well.

Nano-technology as related to developing new chemical sensors – we are able to create the mag-netic carriers required to carry the substance sensors. In addition to this, we are able to create a turnkey substance detection system using these magnetic separators or to provide them as a tool for further research.

Model validation through physical experimentation – software-based modelling has its limitations and eventually pilot-scale physical experimentation will be required to validate the modelling results. This is also important if the realworld production performance does not match the model predicted outcomes. We perform demonstrable reaction-based chemistry.

Applied commercial research and development – here we place an emphasis on the development part of the product design cycle. Through meticulous procedures and timetested development principles that drive innovation, we are able to perform chemistry related product development with a focus on generation and protection of intellectual property.

Process development – we are able to develop new chemical processes from scratch, or refine, optimise and expand on existing processes. With rising economic pressure and increasingly competitive markets, companies are forced to rethink their process strategies and we can assist with that. We cater for both small and industrial scale process design and optimisation.

Reverse engineering – either due to lost documentation or lost access to skills and people, it may be necessary to reverse engineer, or re-engineer, a process or product.

The chemistry lab maintains a world-class environment in which product and process development may occur, whilst both honouring and facilitating intellectual property generation and protection as well as technology transfer.

Electro- magnetic

Interference

As part of Resolution Circle’s offering to provide a complete electronic design solution of taking an idea and turning it into a production ready product, compliance testing of certain regulatory standards are offered. One such regulatory standard involves limits prescribing the electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by a product as well as the products susceptibility to externally generated EMI.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is defined as the ability of a device to operate in the electromagnetic environment without affecting other devices negatively, whilst at the same time being unaffected by the operation of other devices.

EMC has become a necessity for commercial electrical and electronic devices. Resolution Circle aims to assist the design process by providing pre-compliance EMC testing to designers throughout the development process. This reduces the risk of a finished product failing EMC compliance testing, which can be costly and time consuming and delays the development time to achieve a market ready product.

Lab CapabilitiesResolution circle has the capability of doing pre-compliance testing in the following areas:

Conducted Susceptibility: measuring the ability of a device to withstand EMI present on the mains distribution network. Conducted Emissions: measuring the extent to which the device emits EMI into the mains distribution network. Radiated Susceptibility: measuring the ability of a device to withstand radiated EMI present in the operating environment

of the device. Radiated Emissions: measuring the extent to which the device radiates EMI into the environment.

Resolution Circle has an electromagnetically isolated test chamber (GTEM) which allows for the above described radiated emission and susceptibility tests to be performed without the need for an anechoic chamber.

Energy Management

Energy Management is the use of engineering and economic principles to control the cost of energy to provide needed services in buildings and industries. Most savings will come from improvements in energy efficiency, while some savings will come from changing the patterns of use, and possibly shifting to other sources of energy.

The Energy Management stage consists of the following steps: Energy Audit & Assumptions: Identify energy sources and costs Establish profile of energy use and intensity Compile energy use inventory Establish energy use patterns Comparative analysis Identify energy savings opportunities

Recommendations for implementation Approval for funding Detail design Implementation Commissioning Operation & maintenance

Once a project has been identified, and the management structures and budget has been set-up, an energy audit should be performed.

Energy audit goals Clearly identify types and costs of energy use Understand how energy is being used (and possibly wasted) Identify and analyse more cost-effective ways of using energy Perform an economic analysis on those alternatives and determine which are cost-effective for the business

The type of audit to perform depends on the funding available for the audit, the cost and potential of energy conservation opportunities, and the accuracy required. It will also depend on the type of facility and processes within a facility.

Energy audit methodology Understand the energy costs Understand where energy is used Walkthrough Audit Profile metering Compare with similar industries Define a base year Identify and quantify opportunities to save energy Determine if practical feasible Determine implementation cost Develop a business case

Non-destructive testing (NDT) facility at Resolution Circle uses a group of analysis techniques from science and industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing destructive damage.

Our NDT technology station forms part of a support system to the rest of our technology stations to provide for quality control within our R&D infrastructure.

It forms part of two main industry functions namely quality control such as weld analysis and preventive maintenance (checking for material defects), as well as more specialised industries such as investigative consulting.

Lab capabilities: Ultrasonic Flaw Detection (Portable):

The Olympus EPOCH 600 flaw detector is used to detect subsurface flaws in materials, welds and heat affected zones. Ultrasonic Thickness Guage (Portable):

The Olympus 38DL Plus provides for very precise thickness measurements of single or multi-layer materials. This equipment can measure coating (paint) thickness and the remaining wall thickness of hollow structures, such as pipes, and pressure vessels.

Phase Array (Portable): The Olympus Omniscan MX2 is a subsurface flaw detector which is primarily applied once a flaw has been identified by means of conventional ultrasonic flaw detection. A Phased Array flaw detector can subsequently confirm and size the flaw, and this technology is most often used in high-cost, high-risk applications such as turbine blade analysis.

Duel Frequency Eddy Current Flaw Detector (Portable): The Olympus Nortec 500D detects surface flaws in metals without having to remove the coating (paint) therefore it is used on coated material and in highly corrosive environments. This equipment is a cost effective method to inspect in-service ferrous welds, such as on an operating pipeline.

Dye Penetrant Testing (Portable): This type of testing is used to find surface flaws in irregular shaped objects, as well as in flat plates and welds. It is used on non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, brass, copper, ect. This testing method can only be used on the material once the coating (eg. paint) has been removed.

Magnetic Penetrant Testing (Portable): This type of testing is used to find surface flaws in ferrous metals. Typical flaws detected by this method of testing includes but are not limited to fatigue cracks in gears and sprockets. This testing method can only be used on the material once the coating (eg. paint) has been removed.

XRF Analyzer (Portable): The Delta Pro is a positive material identifier, it can be used to identify elements present in solid material, typically used for general material identification and quality control for metals. This equipment has been loaded with several element libraries included but not limited to: Alloy plus (used for metals), ROHS (used for ROHS compliance), Precious metals analysis and Soil mode (used for element analysis in soil samples).

Hardness Tester (Portable): The Equotip 550 can detect surface and total hardness. This equipment is fully portable, extremely compact and utilises various scale conversion libraries, namely Leeb, Vicker, Rockwell B, Rockwell C and Birnell Hardness Testing. Applications typically include metals, composites, ceramics and most polymers.

Digital X-ray (Portable): The Rayzor X Pro is a fully portable, digital x-ray setup used in the detection of surface and subsurface flaws in metals and ceramics. This equipment is capable of detecting flaws up to 38mm deep by means of a 370Kv. Resolution Circle also has an onsite scanning booth witch is fully certified by the department of health.

Microscope (Stationary): The Olympus BX51RF-6 is a reflected light microscope with high resolution objectives. It can be used for a variety of micros-copy applications such as but not limited to weld inspection for quality control purposes. The equipment features include bright and dark field analysis, reflective light, and stream view (for analysis, data storage and report writing)
