COMPONENT DESIGN FOR ASSEMBLY
After the final concept presentation, MWDesign will focus on the approved product concept. This will be done primarily through 3D CAD modelling. We will further development the CAD models into precise components incorporating all features from the final concept design. The objective is to develop the design to allow us to create a prototype for testing, before investing in tooling.
Focusing on individual part components, MWDesign will refine the components and design out the cost to enable us to maintain quality while meeting our budget cost. We will begin engineering the parts for the product, focusing on functional aspects of the design.

Taragate Multi Strand Electric Gate
A lightweight durable fence standard.
We were tasked with designing a lightweight fence standard for Taragate, who supplies electric fence accessories to farmers around New Zealand.
The standard needed to be extremely durable with zero wear on the top and eliminate any tangling at the foot.
We incorporated a lightweight but strong 6mm powder coated spring steel shaft at the base, and stabilised the standard with a sharp slimline underside to the foot which pushes and grips into the grass, unable to rotate. The single shaft removes any chance of tangling electric fence tape or other standards around the base.
The foot is make from a glass filled nylon, to endure the New Zealand farmer stomp without breaking or deforming. Overmoulded onto the steel shaft, the lengthened ends of the foot provide stability for the steel shaft to prevent it from bending, as well as extra shock prevention.
The multidirectional grip at the top makes it easier for farmers to install and remove the standard from the ground. As well as providing extra rigidity for the steel, the lengthened handle allows for extra insulation for the farmer when handling.
