$30,000.00
Precision Parts Web Portal
FY 2021-22
Summary
STEMA Punch & Die Inc., located in Cambridge, Ontario, services the automotive, aerospace, nuclear and commercial sectors. STEMA specializes in punches (head type and ball-lock), die buttons (press fit and ball-lock), punch holders, turned and milled components and work holding fixtures with close tolerances. They also work closely with customers, to develop custom prototype tooling for various applications. Looking to expand their services to automotive customers across Canada, STEMA Punch wants to develop a software application for their customers to be able to design and visualize components through their web portal. In collaboration with STEMA Punch, Conestoga SMART Centre will develop a prototype CAD-integrated solution that gives the ability to design custom punches, dies, and made-to-print components directly through the web browser. Competitors do not provide an in-browser CAD modeling tool, and this project would allow STEMA to be the first to offer such functionality. The Precision Parts web portal will help to reduce errors in custom orders of gauges, punches and dies and enable STEMA to increase their sales radius to different sectors.
