Company Overview
ACE Golf Tee Ltd is a Dublin based company who, with the help of the PEM Technology Gateway in IT Sligo and APT Technology Gateway in AIT Athlone, have developed, optimised and 3D printed an innovative golf tee design which is different to any other on the market today.
They will further develop this design and execute validation testing in a bid to finalise for manufacturing on a large scale via Injection Moulding with another Innovation Voucher.
What we did
The main aspects where ACE Golf Tee Ltd needed advice and support from PEM were:
- Design engineering consultancy to develop and improve product design using CAD software to meet analysis, construction, testing and evaluation objectives
- Lead and project manage the Quality Management System dialogue with external suppliers to ensure that the 3D golf tee prototype was produced within tolerance for validation/functionality testing
- Consult on virgin and recyclable plastics appropriate for injection moulding for manufacturing validity and performance and secondly however also importantly meet environmental compliance standards
PEM’s Design Engineer, Mark McLoughlin worked with Ace Golf Tee to:
- Consultancy on final assembly and manufacturing, process design and direction to selected manufacturer
- Lead and project manage the Quality Management System dialogue with external suppliers to ensure that the 3D golf tee prototype was produced within tolerance for validation/functionality testing
Ace Golf Tee are delighted with the finished products and hope to have them commercialised by the end of 2021.
