AMP-00 Battery pack design and build

From mission spec to parts in hand. In days.

Enter the runtime, power, voltage and size limits for your product. Amplan sizes the pack, designs the current collectors and cell holders, checks each requirement, and then builds the pack.

AMP-01 The problem

A custom battery pack typically takes months to design and build. The work is split across spreadsheets, cell datasheets, CAD files and supplier emails.

  1. P-01 Requirements checked too late

    Packs are often specified by capacity before the mission is fully defined. Efficiency, peak power, size and weight are verified late, so shortfalls surface in testing rather than in design.

  2. P-02 Manual contact-system design

    Current collectors, cell holders and voltage-sense wiring are usually drawn by hand in CAD. Clearances and weld locations are reviewed visually, so errors are easy to miss before parts are made.

  3. P-03 Fragmented sourcing

    Cells, interconnects, holders and the BMS come from separate suppliers, each with its own quotes, minimum orders and lead times. Coordinating them stretches every build schedule.

AMP-02 Workflow

How a pack gets made

  1. 01 Mission

    Define the requirements

    You enter what the product needs: flight time or range, continuous and peak power, system voltage, efficiency, size and weight limits, and operating temperature. Capacity and energy are calculated from these inputs.

  2. 02 Plan

    Size the pack and check it

    The planner calculates the required energy and capacity, selects a cell from a library of about 35, and sets the series and parallel count. Each requirement is marked PASS, NEAR PASS or FAIL, with the margin shown. If a requirement fails, the planner suggests up to three alternative cells.

  3. 03 Design

    Design the current collectors and holders

    Using the cell, the series-parallel configuration and the terminal positions, the design module groups the cells and generates laser-cut nickel or copper current collectors, 3D-printable cell holders and voltage-sense wiring. Design rules are checked before any file is exported. If a check fails, export is blocked and the failed rule is reported.

  4. 04 Build

    Build and ship the pack

    The design is exported as laser-cutting files (DXF/SVG), holder models (STEP), a bill of materials and a job traveler. We use these files to source the parts, assemble the pack and ship it to you.

AMP-03 Why Amplan

Every design is checked before it is built.

01 · Per-requirement results

Runtime, power, weight, size and temperature each get their own PASS, NEAR PASS or FAIL result, with the margin or shortfall shown.

02 · Design rule checks

Collector and holder geometry is checked against design rules before export. A design that fails a rule cannot be exported until it is corrected.

03 · Requirements to hardware

Sizing, mechanical design, sourcing and assembly are handled in one process, so the original requirements carry through to the finished pack.

AMP-04 Who it's for

Teams building battery-powered products.
