What we do

We provide a support service right from that first spark of an idea, assist you nurturing it into a viable concept and help to turn it into reality.

We develop the concept through CAD to produce a virtual prototype, produce marketing presentations and animations, and develop detailed prototype drawings. We can build it for you as well 

Our strength is our exposure to many different aspects of industry, both "hands on" and design 
 
 

Pelican Aircraft

Aviation Components

The Pelican is an exciting aircraft design project with a novel mission demanding an unconventional solution. Creative CAD has been involved with conceptual design and production design, and has developed innovative construction and testing techniques. Creative CAD has project management responsibility for airframe structure, controls, systems and power plants.

Client privilege prevents us showing more of this very interesting project... For more information Click here

Drill Rig Gearbox

Mining Industry

The gearbox is designed to be installed on a portable drilling machine and is powered by a two stage hydraulic motor and allows the operator to either drill holes or take core samples.

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. For more information Click here .

Drill Rig Gearbox

The gearbox is designed to be installed on a portable drilling machine which penetrates to 800 metres. The gearbox is powered by a two stage hydraulic motor and allows the operator to either drill holes or take core sample holes.

Munnin A20 UAV

Military Aviation

The Munnin A20 UAV has a long range and 48 hour endurance. Unlike most UAV's the Munnin 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.

In-Flight Adjustable Rudder Pedals.

Aviation Components

Creative CAD has designed a range of rudder pedals for light aircraft. The pedals provide the pilot with provision to adjust pedal location in-flight and are equipped with toe brakes. A number of these pedals are installed in high performance experimental aircraft. For more information Click here

In-Flight Adjustable Propeller

Aviation Components

For installation in a 300 hp high performance sports aircraft, the prop features all-carbon blades with densified wood cores and a single billet hub construction. Each blade individually replaced. and blade bearings can be removed in-situ. Electro-mechanical pitch adjustment from feather to reverse is available, as are two and three-blade hubs.

Stokes Engine
 

  • The Stokes engine is an internal combustion engine which does not have the crucially limiting feature of a crankshaft. The engine was designed and built entirely in house, and ran successfully on fuel as a four stroke and on gas as a two stroke. More information...

  • Ezyloader hideaway

    Designed and built following a customer request for a low profile stowed version of the traditional loader, the Hideaway went from concept to production in only six weeks. 
    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. More information...

    Hydraulic twin rotary union

    Designed as an addition to the Ezyloader Hideaway, this device allows hydraulic oil to pass from the body of the loader up to the beam, regardless of the number of rotations of the beam. It replaced two hoses which previously were prone to damage from excess rotation of the beam 

    Sheet metal forming machine
    This project (more of an obsession really) was developed in-house over several years in response to the need for a machine to form a increasingly complex series of parts for repairs and fabrication within the aircraft industry. Although basically a pan brake, rapid adjustment of the clamp lock, multiple clamps and forming bars allow it to make a much greater variety of shapes than traditional machines, and it can be easily adjusted into several different working modes with only one tool. 
    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. 

    Powered articulated crutch 

    The powered articulated crutch is a device which aids people with leg injuries, who lack the strength or stability required to rise un-aided. This allows a higher degree of independence for some patients and also reduces risk to care givers. The device uses a linear actuator designed in house for the task, to telescopically extend or retract the foot. The upper half of the crutch also collapses to allow easier stowage or to allow the operator to use the crutch as a more convenient walking aid.
