A great team effort at CADDS Group!

WA Museum Blue Whale Armature Design

CADDS PI+D was contracted by a Canadian company for the design, engineering and fabrication of the Blue Whale Armature which will reside permanently at the new Western Australia Museum (opening in 2020).

With the collaboration of our other departments: CADDS Engineering and CADDS Fabrication, we are very please to showcase our creativity and capability to undertake this massive (+5.1 tonnes) project.

As a privately owned Western Australian Company, we feel privilege to have been awarded this awesome project as it will leave a mark in the WA community for many years to come.

SUNSAVA - Traffic sign weather shield

The Sunsava is currently being developed as a major improvement to the current stop/go sign and was invented by Len Derrick.

The Sunsava provides direct sun protection and decent protection when used in rainy conditions.

World patent applied for.

Starcap V2 - Tripod protective stud cover

Another great product development for our surveying client.  Current Surveying Tripod has three studs at the end of their feet that are pushed into the ground for stability.  The three studs pose a serious safety hazard during air transportation and are required to be enclosed.  Unlike the “old” technique of taping them off, the Surveying Tripod Protective Stud Cover is easily and quickly strapped onto the studs.

Desmo Products Australia - Electricity load tester

Our client presented a product constructed from stock standard material with no style and mininal functionaility. CADDS Product Innovation + Design division assisted in the development of the product into a more functional and aesthetically pleasing design.

By presenting a complete new design, the product was improved and more marketable. Product standards were also implemented to comply with AS/NZ Standards and helped in the IP (Intellectual Property) process to protect our client’s design. Finally we assisted in the manufacturing and supply of components for final production.

3D Laser Scanner protective bumper case + Screen protector

The TX-EXO case has been designed as an add-on accessory for the expensive and sensitive Trimble 3D Laser scanner.

An exoskeleton design approach was taken as it provides considerable amount of protection for the least amount of weight in order not to interfere with the scanning function.

SENTRY GUARDING SYSTEM

Sentry Guarding System is a new and innovative Australian and New Zealand compliant (AS/NZS 4024.3610/3611) guarding system for the mining industry or where heavy machinery is used.

Complete project from start to finish including:

designing, engineering, testing, production, quality control, marketing + stock management system
