One of the stars of last week’s Institution of Mechanical Engineers Manufacturing Excellence (MX) Awards were the awards themselves. Made of stainless steel and weighing in at 5.4kg, they were certainly impressive.
Planit, a developer of software products, were asked by Autodesk, one of the sponsors of the MX Awards, to design and manufacture the 14 trophies. To do this it used Radan, a sheet metal CAD/CAM software, along with engineering production software Edgecam.
“The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) wanted the trophies to fully demonstrate the quality of engineering,” says Phil Gill, Edgecam’s UK technical sales manager. “We incorporated something that looked engineered and was still prestigious.”
