Our Most Recent CAD Design Projects

The Nova CAD Design team has been extremely busy supporting a wide range of UK manufacturing projects over the holiday season. Our group has played a key role in providing creative and effective design solutions. Due to our expertise with CAD software and in-depth knowledge of industry-specific specifications, we have been able to satisfy our clients’ deadlines and high standards for quality across a variety of different projects.



Discover what we’ve been working on and see if you could benefit from our CAD Design services:


  1. Access Platform

We have successfully finished a challenging project for a nuclear industry client. Our team completed the structural calculations, 2D drawing package, and 3D design for an access platform. We were able to produce precise and in-depth 2D drawings and 3D models using Autodesk Inventor that satisfied the strict guidelines of the nuclear sector. This project demonstrated our proficiency in intricate structural design and our capacity to provide quality solutions for challenging industries.


  1. Refrigerated Trailer Panels Manipulator

Our project to design a vacuum lifting beam used for transporting panels of refrigerated trailers during the assembly process was successfully finished. Our team ensured accuracy and precision in the dimensions and specifications of the beam by using SolidWorks to build the 3D design and draughting package. Additionally, in order to assess the beam’s structural integrity and performance under various loading scenarios, we carried out a comprehensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using SolidWorks. The Vacuum Lifting Beam would be safe, effective, and dependable for its intended function in the assembly process thanks to this thorough approach.


  1. Beauty Desk

For a high-street cosmetics company, we just finished a retail shop fitting and point of sale project. Our team used SolidWorks to design and create a new beauty desk that was identical to the ones that were already in the client’s retail locations. In order to fulfil strict timelines and fulfil particular needs, the project needed to be modified. With the help of our CAD design skills, we were able to produce a beauty workstation that was both aesthetically pleasing and practical, and it blended in perfectly with the brand’s current look.


  1. JLR Halewood Plant

In order to provide extraction ducting routes for their new bodyshop facility, Nova Design is currently working on a project for JLR Halewood, a leading automotive manufacturer. Utilising the robust features of the Autodesk Product Suite, our team has been producing intricate 3D models and drawings of the extraction ducting systems that will be set up to remove hazardous particles and fumes while the newest electrified models are being produced. Our proficiency in industrial design and our capacity to provide solutions that satisfy the exacting demands of the automotive sector are demonstrated by this project.


  1. Air Handling Units

To produce unique designs and complete manufacturing drawing packages, the staff at Nova Design has been working with a top supplier of Air Handling Units (AHUs) for new Data Centre applications. With the use of Autodesk Inventor, we have created customised AHU solutions that satisfy our client’s unique needs and preferences. Our ability to create precise and comprehensive drawings that enable the effective manufacturing and installation of these essential HVAC components is a result of our mechanical design skills and Autodesk Inventor proficiency.


  1. Installation Services

Building Information Modelling (BIM) models and related layout drawings for an air conditioning system to be installed in a new construction project have been successfully created by Nova Design using Autodesk Revit. Stakeholders can see and examine how the air conditioning system integrates with the building’s overall structure thanks to BIM models, which offer a thorough digital picture of the building. We have produced precise and comprehensive BIM models using Revit, which have aided in decision-making, improved coordination, and increased building process efficiency.


  1. Ground Support Equipment Tooling

Ground Support Equipment Tooling (GSE Tooling) has had an extremely busy period recently. Our aerospace design team has been operating at maximum efficiency to fulfil the rigorous demands of the industry due to an increase in requests for Maintenance, Repair, and Operation (MRO) tooling. Our team has been essential in meeting the critical needs of the aerospace business.


  1. Fuel Filtration

To design new Fuel Filtration process skid assemblies, Nova Design has been using SolidWorks Premium with a direct VPN connection to the client’s data. For these assemblies, the Pipe Routing feature in SolidWorks has been crucial in producing precise and effective pipe layouts. We have optimised the fuel filtration process’s design, guaranteeing peak performance and reducing the likelihood of problems during installation and operation, by employing this cutting-edge CAD tool.
