Daisy Air Rifles  

  

The Daisy 901 Air Rifle is an excellent example of design collaboration at its finest.  CMCI and partner Surfacing Solutions of Waterloo, IA, undertook the creation of a new rifle design to be unveiled at a Las Vegas convention.  The true challenge of the project?  It was to be designed from concept to functional prototypes in just five weeks!

The two design organizations split the work between internal and external modeling (development of A-surface aesthetic geometry and internal functional elements).  Daily design conferencing and utilization of PTC's best in class surfacing, assembly analysis and collaborative design tools quickly brought the virtual design into fruition.  Three separate prototype facilities were subcontracted to produce cast aluminum and urethane components from the Pro/E models.

The result?  Functional prototypes were delivered in less than five weeks.
