Creative CAD provides a range of services to industry:
We design it. We build it!
Ezyloader Hideaway
Industry
The Hideaway uses a slightly scaled down version of the traditional loader, mounted on a pair of triangular frames and extended by a hydraulic cylinder.
The Ezyloader extends to a working height of around 1.5 meters above the vehicle tray and allows the operator a 3.6 metre radius of movement 360° around the mounting point on the vehicle. It folds up into a large toolbox and is a really neat bit of kit.

Ezyloader Hideaway
Designed and built to order, this low profile stowed version of the traditional
loader went from concept to production in only six weeks. |
Drill Rig Gearbox
Mining Industry
The gearboxes were designed to allow easy in-field maintenance and to reduce potential damage from the 'Stilson and Sledgehammer' style of operators.
All seal housings and bearing housings can be removed while the gearbox is installed on the drilling rig. Common sized fasteners allow all maintenance to be carried out with just two tools.

Drill Rig Gearboxes
Creative CAD has designed and built two gearboxes for the mining industry.
The gearboxes are driven by two-speed hydraulic motors, and are currently
used for drilling and core sampling terrain prior to highway construction. |
Hydraulic Rotary Union
Research
The rotary union does away with hoses which tend to wear over time, and provides a near friction free and tidy solution.
Now a standard feature on the Ezyloader, several of these unions are in long term service and have proven very reliable.

Create CAD designed and developed this two-way rotary union to replace
hydraulic hoses on the Ezyloader lifter |
Gee Bee Cowl
Aviation Components
A refreshing break from CAD and machining, the Gee Bee cowl was designed and built using in house developed equipment and skills. The cowl is installed on an experimental aircraft intended to be a 'stand off' scale version of the 1930's racing aircraft.

Munin A20 UAV
Military Aviation
The Munin A20 UAV has a long range and 48 hour endurance. Unlike most UAV's the Munin aircraft has been designed to comply with FAR23, the US aircraft design specification for light aircraft. It is intended to fulfill a number of roles in both civil and military markets.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
The Munin A20 UAV has a 48 hour endurance with a range to match and fulfills
a numerous roles in both civil and military aviaton. |
Experimental Engines
Automotive Industry
Creative Cad has built a number of interesting engines including the remarkable Stokes engine and a large scale model aircraft rotary engine.
This CAD illustration is of a Percheron engine which features opposing pistons and cranks driving a pair of beams. It has been successfully run and the engine continues to be developed.

Engines
We have developed a number of different engines - some of them very "different"
indeed. |
Axis Bicycle Crank
Sports Science
The Axis intelligent bike crank uses some clever electronics and load cells to cyclically measure various loads on a bicycle crank. Software then converts this data
into information allowing trainers to monitor and adjust the riders' technique for improved performance. It effectively turns a cycle or ergo into a dynamometer..
The only in-field maintenance required occasionally is replacement of the output shaft seals, which are located in easy-to-remove housings that do not affect any other aspect of the box.

Axis Bicycle Crank
For use in Sports Science, the Axis intelligent bike crank cyclically measures
loads providing trainers with key data for performance optimisation. |
Sheet Metal Folder
Industry
Developed in response to the need for a machine to form a increasingly complex series of parts for repairs and fabrication.
The machine can form a wide range of folds not normally possible with a pan break & reverse folds, partial folds, interrupted folds, variable radius folds, over square folds, joggles etc. The folder is complemented by a guillotine, a bench shear and rollers.
