Overview

Solve it in the model, not on the machine.

Our DFM review checks your CAD and drawings against our machining, welding and assembly capabilities, flags risks, and suggests changes that cut cost and lead time without giving up performance. We also work through tolerance stack-ups with your team.

No drawing? We reverse engineer existing parts with portable scanning and CMM capture, producing accurate 3D models and production-ready drawings. For end-to-end work we take a concept sketch through requirements, material choice, machining strategy and production planning.

FAQ

Questions engineers ask

Can you work from a part with no drawing?

Yes. We scan and measure the existing part, build a 3D model and drawing, and review them with you before production.

Who will we be working with?

Our engineers work directly with design engineers, program managers and procurement, so drawings are production-ready and specs are achievable before the quote is final.
