We do as-built drawings!
Written on October 17, 2013
Syngineering can model, draft and render your existing products to make them more manufacturable and presentable.
Below is a sampleof a trailer, including suspension components. Syngineering were brought in to draw the trailer so the client could easily make more in the future. Our talented team in the office swiftly turned rough sketches and handwritten notes into a beautifully detailed drawing and a real-life render.
Do you need drawings and/or DXFs?
Written on October 16, 2013
Laser cutters know this story well… “Can you do this job for me? I don’t have drawings or DXFs though…” If you don’t have a drafting team in house, you might either take on the task of producing the DXF yourself or turning the customer away. Both of these options will limit the margins on your profits, and you might only be left with a handful of customers who have DXFs ready…
We are the home of a team of expert drafters and engineers who can quickly interpret your customer’s design, produce a drawing and DXF, and send it back your way – ready to be cut.
Our team of engineers and draftsmen know the limits of your machinery, and are ever-mindful of constraints that some clients may not realise. Send your clients our way, and we will take their sketches and ideas, turn them into something YOU can use. Then we will send them back to you.
Do you need drawings for machined parts?
Written on October 15, 2013
Our team of experienced draftsmen know what is required on drawings to make your life easier. Our head draftsman has ten years experience as a tool maker and machinist, so he knows what machinists want.
All of our drawings conform to AS1100, so you can be assured that our drawings are easily interpreted and consistent.
Above are examples of machined parts that customer’s needed drawings for. Syngineering modelled, rendered and provided drawings for this device, making sure to keep tolerances in mind when drawing this part. Our draftsmen know that tolerances = $$$, so we always take care in specifying tolerances for you.
We can RPEQ certify all designs that we submit, and provide all documentation to ensure that your design and parts are safe.

Case Study: Syngineering uses FEA to achieve cost savings for Metalmark
Written on September 20, 2013
Mark Davies from of Metalmark thanks Syngineering
Mark Davies, Director at Metalmark, recently approached the team at Syngineering for verification and optimisation of one of his designs. He wanted them to help him achieve a high performance lifting hook with significant cost savings, and Syngineering utilised FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to achieve the best result.
As Mark explains, “We developed the design to a pretty high standard, so it was quite well-advanced. We then approached Syngineering who suggested some options.”
Stronger and lighter
“Syngineering improved the design by using FEA to identify a stress concentration. They then came back to us with a number of options, including one that was far better than our original design.

Case Study: Syngineering helps APT Fabrication grow their profits
Written on September 19, 2013
When it comes to having engineering drawings done for complex 4×4 parts and accessories, the team at APT Fabrication in Brisbane trust Syngineering to do the job to an extremely high standard.
“Working with Syngineering enables us to outsource certain manufacturing tasks – which decreases overall production costs and helps to grow our profits,” explains Ben Woodgate, Director.
Stronger and lighter
“We sell a range of Land Rover 4×4 accessories and parts in our online store. I’ll build a product prototype, such as underbody protection, steering and suspension, or front and rear protection, and then I’ll take it to the guys at Syngineering.
They use their engineering expertise to provide me with highly accurate, professional engineering drawings, which I then pass on to the companies that we outsource to do the cutting, section curving or ring-rolling.
This makes the manufacturing process much more affordable – and allows us to pass those savings on to our valued customers.”

Syngineering Solves Fatigue Cracking In Trommel Wheel
Written on September 17, 2013
Syngineering were asked to investigate why the trommel wheels were cracking. The team of experienced engineers at Syngineering used Finite Element Analysis to develop a model that accurately modeled where the fatigue cracks were occurring.
Using this model, the engineers could then optimise the design changing the design of the trommel wheel spokes.
The design improvements were then checked using the original FEA model.

Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Written on September 17, 2013
Syngineering makes extensive use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to solve many complex engineering problems.
Many problems can be solved by our experienced engineers, however, there are times when the most talented engineers need to use FEA to help solve some of the more complex engineering problems.
The team of experienced engineers have used FEA to identify fatigue stress raisers, optimise designs and verify designs. Some of the applications include lifting beams, vacuum lifters, transport skids, trommel wheels, lifting dogs, storage racks, pressure vessels, press dies, and many more …..

Steel Storage Racking – AS4084 Certification
Written on September 15, 2013
We all have storage racks but when was the last time you had them checked?
We see racks of all shapes and sizes, we see the brand new racks complete with a certification tag. These are not the ones that keep us awake at night. The ones that really worry the team at Syngineering are the ones that were thrown together in the workshop as a temporary and then temporary becomes permanent and still no one has thought to get these certified.
The team of engineers, draftsman and tradesman at Syngineering want to help and can check the certification of your storage racking and make sure they comply to AS4084. Syngineering will then supply full detail drawings for each storage rack along with a certification tag and RPEQ .
Syngineering Designs Vacuum Pipe Lifter – 40tonne WLL
Written on September 15, 2013
Syngineering has worked with a Queensland manufacturer to develop a vacuum pipe lifter used to lift 10tonne pipes from the hull of a ship and move the pipes to a waiting truck. The pipes range in diameter up to 450mm and up to 14m in length.
The team of engineers, draftsman and tradesman at Syngineering were heavily involved throughout the project from not initial concept stages through manufacturing and ultimately, preparing as built drawings to record the changes made during the final manufacturing of the vacuum lifters.
The Syngineering engineers made extensive use of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) throughout the design. This allowed the engineers to optimise the weight of the vacuum lifter.
Syngineering have designed the vacuum lifter to be entirely self contained with on board vacuum tanks and control systems. The lifters also included fork tine slots to allow the lifter to be safely moved around the dock yard using a 16tonne forklift.
The Syngineering team also included certified lifting lugs to allow the vacuum lifter to moved around the dock yard.
Syngineering not only provided manufacturing drawings but 3D models, DXF files for laser cutting of components but also rendered images for marketing brochures and RPEQ certification for the project.
Syngineering develops fertiliser crusher
Written on September 15, 2013
Syngineering have worked closely with a local Queensland manufacturer to design and develop a crusher capable of breaking and then crushing a 5 tonne block of fertiliser into dust ready for use.
The team of experienced engineers, draftsman and tradesman worked closely with the customer and their tradesman to develop the a cost effective and robust design.
The Syngineering team not only developed manufacturing drawings but 3D models, rendered models, exploded views and RPEQ certification for the project.
Oxygen Lance Reverse Engineering
Written on September 15, 2013
Syngineering have recently been working on a project for a major Queensland power station. 
The original request was to reverse engineer a set of components and produce manufacturing drawings for the oxygen lance.
Sounds simple, except for the fact that many of the components had been burnt away in the furnace.
The team of experienced engineers, draftsman and tradesman at Syngineering worked closely to produce not only manufacturing drawings but exploded views for manuals, sectional views and rendered models to help.
