Design Section
Design Section ARDIC has the capabilities to design, analyze and validate engineering designs, simulation of new concepts and ideas or existing design (Static and Dynamic), analysis of components, assemblies or overall product using CAD tools such as AutoCAD, CREO, ANSYS etc. Design section Ardic can be approached for design of components from scratch that could be either manufactured in house or outside HIT. Approximate cost of component design in ARDIC is Rs. 1,726 depending upon complexity of parts and assemblies.
Materials Testing Lab (MTL)
Materials Testing Lab is equipped with spectrometer having 29 software programs for ferrous and non-ferrous materials which gives quick and accurate results with greater investigative flexibility and improved analytical performance. Approximate cost of chemical analysis / material characterization through spectrometer is Rs. 3,956
Materials Casting Lab (MCL)
Materials Casting Lab has state of art vacuum casting facility for aluminum, copper and polymers. This casting technology is developed for the production of comparatively complex parts. As the production time is relatively short compared to conventional methods, it is being applied more for rapid prototyping having very good surface quality. Approximate cost of mold/die for casting is 32/gm, finashed product of polymer casting is Rs. 72/gm, Rs. 259/gm for aluminum casting and Rs. 288/gm for copper casting.
Rapid Prototyping lab
Faro Arm: Rapid Prototyping lab is equipped with the faro laser scan arm enables to inspect parts in detail by capturing huge point-cloud data. Its open architecture enables the user to employ other third-party software programs for reverse engineering. Scanning at over 23,000 points per second makes it a powerful tool in scanning. FARO Arm offers 0.030 mm in single point and 0.043 mm in volumetric measurements. Approximate cost of component scanning / probe measurement is Rs. 4,934 per hour.
Fused Deposition Machine (FDM): FDM creates solid models directly from 3d cad files (STL) using materials like abs, Plastic & Polycarbonate. Rp machines are ideal for creating real parts for concept modeling by prototyping through direct digital manufacturing. Real parts with complex geometries can be easily manufactured that are strong enough for functional testing and end use. Max build envelope volume 16 x 14 x 16 inches. Approximate cost of component scanning / prob measurement is Rs. 4,099 / in3
Reverse Engineering Lab
The lab is responsible for reverse engineering and troubleshooting of electronic/electrical assys using state of the art testing equipments. The lab is also equipped with digital velocity meters to measure velocities of small Arms ammo. Also, High speed Camera (Vision Research) with 4000 tps @HD resolution 1280x720 and 610000 PS@ (128x8) resolution is available to capture slow motion videos of High moving objects. ARDIC can be approached for recording of velocities of small arms ammo approx cost per day trial is 2000 with in HIT premises and 2500 out side HIT excluding travelling charges. Similarly, approximate cost for recording of videos high speed camera is 15612 per day within HIT premises and approx 10000 per day outside HIT excluding traversing/transportation charges.
