A drilling equipment distributor from Russia provided us with a popular local drill bit sample, seeking to enhance its market competitiveness through cost-effective structural optimization while maintaining original performance.

Sample Analysis & Structural Modeling
We conducted precision measurements, reconstructed key geometric features, and used CAE tools to simulate stress distribution and complete structural modeling.
