Design & Engineering
From an idea, an old drawing or an existing part to a finished set of production drawings.
Mechanical design for manufacturing
We develop 3D CAD models of existing parts, turn 2D PDFs into 3D models, improve the manufacturability of existing 3D models, and take new designs from an idea all the way to production drawings.
We work in both 3D and 2D. The goal is always the same: a finished set of production drawings and models, ready for procurement, whether we make the parts or you do. Our 2D production drafting turns any of these into drawings a shop can quote and build from.
Typical lead time: 2 to 3 days, depending on complexity.
What we need to start
- An idea or a problemDefined well enough to design against
- Existing drawingsPDF or DWG files of what needs remodelling
- Existing partsAccess to the parts or assemblies to remodel
Software
- SolidWorks
- Autodesk
- ANSYS
