• MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING SERVICES
Move from digital design to production-ready manufacturing.
Intratech supports manufacturers with robotics, NC machining and tooling engineering — helping teams programme, simulate, validate and prepare manufacturing processes before they reach the shop floor.
ROBOTICS
NC MACHINING 
TOOLING
VALIDATIONManufacturing services built around real production requirements
Intratech's existing Manufacturing service is centred on three areas: Robotics, NC Machining and Tooling. The redesigned page keeps those services distinct and gives each one a clearer engineering and production focus.
01
Robotics
Support robot-based manufacturing and assembly through cell definition, reach and accessibility checks, robot task preparation, path validation, collision analysis and offline programming before physical commissioning.
02
NC Machining & CAM
Create and validate machining operations for CNC production, including tool selection, setups, toolpaths, machining strategies, machine simulation and production-ready NC programming.
03
Tooling
Design and validate specialist tooling for repeatable manufacture, including jigs, fixtures, moulds, dies and production tooling where geometry, material behaviour and manufacturing consistency are critical.
Validate manufacturing digitally before committing on the shop floor
Dassault Systèmes DELMIA and CATIA manufacturing technologies support connected manufacturing engineering, machining and robotics workflows. Intratech applies these capabilities to practical production requirements.
Manufacturing preparation is more valuable when potential collisions, access problems, tooling issues and programming changes are discovered digitally instead of during physical prove-out.

Robot simulation
Evaluate robot reach, trajectories, tooling interaction and production tasks in a virtual manufacturing environment before physical commissioning.
Machine simulation
Validate machining operations against the machine, workpiece, fixtures and tools to identify potential collisions and setup issues before running the programme.
Manufacturing resources
Represent robots, machines, fixtures, clamps and other production resources digitally so they can be reused in manufacturing planning and validation.
Connected change
Maintain a stronger link between product definition and manufacturing preparation so design changes can be reflected downstream with less manual rework.
Robotics engineering for manufacturing and assembly
Robots are used across automotive, aerospace, industrial equipment, marine and other manufacturing sectors. Intratech can support the engineering work required to prepare and validate robotic production tasks.
Cell & resource definition
Build a digital representation of the robot, tooling, fixtures and surrounding manufacturing resources to establish the production environment.
Reach, access & collision studies
Assess whether the robot can reach the required work areas, identify potential interference and improve positioning before installation or changeover.
Offline robot programming
Prepare and validate robot tasks in a digital environment so more programming and optimisation can be completed away from the physical production cell.
Path optimisation
Review trajectories and process sequences to improve robot movement, avoid unnecessary travel and support more efficient execution.
Tool & fixture interaction
Validate how end effectors, weld guns, grippers, fixtures and other tooling interact with the product and robot throughout the task.
Production validation
Use simulation to expose potential problems earlier and reduce risk before physical commissioning or line modification.
NC machining and CAM programming
CNC machining depends on accurate programming, reliable setups and confidence that the machining strategy will work on the selected equipment. Intratech supports the digital preparation and validation of NC manufacturing operations.
Machining setup
Define machines, stock, parts, fixtures, cutting tools and operation setups around the component and available manufacturing resources.
Toolpath creation
Develop machining operations and toolpaths for prismatic, multi-axis and other manufacturing requirements using appropriate cutting strategies.
Tool & machine simulation
Review tool motion and machine behaviour digitally to identify collisions, over-travel, access problems or inefficient operations before machining.
NC code preparation
Translate approved machining operations into production-ready output aligned with the machine and post-processing requirements.
Design-to-manufacturing continuity
Use integrated CAD/CAM workflows so changes to product geometry can be reflected more efficiently in downstream machining preparation.
Process documentation
Support clearer manufacturing definitions through validated operations, tooling information, setups and other production instructions.
Tooling engineering for repeatable production
Specialist tooling is central to the repeatable manufacture of complex parts. Intratech can support the digital design and validation of production tooling where fit, access, consistency and manufacturing behaviour matter.
Jigs & fixtures
Develop manufacturing aids that locate, hold and support parts consistently through machining, assembly, inspection and other production operations.
Moulds & dies
Support tooling development for repeatable part production where complex geometry, release, material behaviour and manufacturing constraints need to be considered.
Tooling mechanisms
Create and validate clamps, moving tooling elements and mechanisms so their behaviour and interaction can be checked in the digital environment.
Production integration
Check tooling alongside the product, robot or machine environment to confirm space, access, movement and manufacturing compatibility before manufacture.
From manufacturing requirement to validated production definition
A structured engineering workflow helps reduce the amount of troubleshooting that has to happen once machines, robots, tooling and production time are already committed.
1 Review the production requirement
Assess the component or assembly, available CAD data, manufacturing process, machines, robots, tooling and the required production outcome.
2 Build the manufacturing definition
Prepare the required digital resources, setups, operations, programmes, tooling models and production sequences.
3 Simulate and validate
Check motion, reach, toolpaths, collisions, accessibility, fixtures and key manufacturing interactions before physical execution.
4 Release for production
Deliver the validated engineering outputs required for machining, robot programming, tooling manufacture or production implementation.
Manufacturing outcomes that matter on the shop floor
The objective is practical: prepare better manufacturing information earlier so production teams can execute with fewer avoidable surprises.
COMMISSIONING
↓ Risk
Make scope, dependencies, requirements and acceptance criteria visible so implementation decisions can be managed rather than improvised.
MACHINING
↑ Confidence
Validate machining setups, tools and machine motion before valuable material and machine time are committed.
TOOLING
↑ Repeatability
Create better-defined tooling and fixtures to support consistent location, access and production execution.
ENGINEERING
↓ Rework
Resolve more manufacturing issues in the digital stage instead of relying on physical trial-and-error.
PROGRAMMING
↑ Preparation
Move more robot and NC programming activity into a controlled digital environment before shop-floor prove-out.
CONTINUITY
CAD → CAM
Keep design and manufacturing preparation more closely connected as product definitions evolve.
