Crafting Success for your Mechanical Engineering Projects

CAD Support

Ladata supports CAD design by optimising 3D models for manufacturability, including DFM analysis and mould flow preparation. Our engineers work closely with clients to refine 3D files, resolve meshing issues, and allow efficient tooling and production.

Advanced Mould Flow

Ladata supports customers with advanced mould flow simulation to optimise gate placement, ensure uniform filling, and prevent defects such as short shots, air traps, or warpage. Ladata helps improve product quality, reduce development time, and lower production costs.

Pre-mould Design

Ladata supports full insert and plastic integration by optimising geometry, ensuring proper retention, and reducing moulding risks. Our team collaborates from the earliest design stages to enhance flow, sealing, and compatibility with overmolding.

Validation Testing

Ladata assists with prototype validation testing by coordinating environmental, ingress protection (IP), durability, and functional tests through certified third-party labs or trusted testing partners. Ladata helps to ensure prototypes meet performance and reliability criteria.

Your Project, Expertly Handled

No matter the project’s scale or complexity, our team is ready to support you from concept to completion. We offer collaborative engineering assistance – including design for manufacturability (DFM) reviews and rapid prototyping – to ensure your design can be produced efficiently and cost-effectively. Ladata’s engineers will work closely with you to refine specifications and solve challenges, drawing on our deep experience in materials and processes. From initial consultation to volume production, we strive to exceed customer expectations in quality, service, and on-time delivery.

Collaborative Development

Ladata’s team actively engages in your product development process by participating in design reviews and providing expert feedback on design for manufacturability (DFM), material selection, and tooling feasibility. We work closely with your engineers to identify potential risks, suggest design improvements, and optimise part geometry for stamping, injection molding, or hybrid processes. This collaborative approach not only reduces iterations and development time but also ensures that the final design is robust, cost-effective, and ready for scalable production.

Total Quality Management

Ladata embraces Total Quality Management (TQM) by promoting a culture of continuous improvement, process control, and cross-functional collaboration across all manufacturing stages, including prototyping and early development. We support customers by integrating in-line inspection systems, traceability tools, and data-driven decision-making to reduce defects and ensure consistent quality. Through preventive quality planning and close communication from design to delivery, Ladata helps customers achieve higher reliability, compliance, and customer satisfaction.

Automatic Detection Systems Implementation

Ladata supports the implementation of fully automatic detection systems in stamping, injection, and assembly lines—both automatic and semi-automatic—by integrating sensors, vision systems, and real-time data feedback aligned with Total Quality Management (TQM) principles. We help design and deploy inspection checkpoints that monitor critical dimensions, part presence, orientation, and cosmetic quality to reduce defects and enable continuous improvement. This approach enhances production efficiency, traceability, and overall product consistency while reducing reliance on manual inspection.
