About Detroit Engineered Products (DEP)

DEP is a full service Engineering Services & Software development

company with Innovative game changing technology that transforms the

product development process

DEP’s Meshwork’s

CAE & CAD Morpher is part of the Meshwork's Suite developed by

DEP has the capability of morphing CAE & CAD data in a wide

variety of scenarios very simply , efficiently and Rapidly.

Morpher can significantly reduce the initial

CAD data generation and concept

Engineering time since the data for CAD

Morpher is feed from available Performance

models and existing CAD Data.

Meshworks is Maintaining a leading edge

in Morpher enabled Design and

Simulation technology for the past

15years by continuously inventing and

innovating the tool capability to meet

industry needs and future technology

trends

1.China / Korea Small car program

35Kg. was successfully reduced from the BIW while meeting Crash, NVH, Aerodrag, Vehicle Dynamics and

Powertrain mounting targets. Executed for Chinese OEM whose development center is in Korea.

2.High Volume North American V6 Engine Optimization

3.High Volume North American LCV / MCV program

•Weight reduction on current large volume Cross-over platform

•Optimization reduce about 25 to 35Kg in BIW.

4.Multi-Powertrain Body structure Development for a US Global Midsize car program

•New architecture for Electric, Hybrid-electric and Conventional powertrain program

•85Kg. was reduced from the BIW while providing a common platform for three different powertrain configurations

5.Load Body Value Engineering

•~12Kg was reduced from a 102Kg. pick-up box.

• The value engineered load body was proven to have equivalent

• Design, prototyping and volume production carried out.

• Executed with minimal impact to current production tooling
