Concept and product design
From a rough idea to a complete, manufacturable design with drawings.
What we do
- Work out the requirements with you: what the part has to do, what it attaches to, the loads, heat, and weather it sees, how many you need, and your budget.
- Sketch concepts and talk through the options before any detailed modeling, so you pick the direction.
- Model it in 3D CAD, from single parts to assemblies of parts that fit and move together.
- Design for manufacturing: we choose the process early and shape the part to suit it (draft, wall thickness, tool access, sheet layouts), which is often the biggest single cost saving.
- Choose materials for strength, stiffness, wear, heat, chemicals, UV, food contact, and appearance.
- Engineer the details: tolerances and fits, snap-fits, living hinges, bosses, ribs, threads, threaded inserts, fasteners, seals, and gaskets.
- Enclosures and housings designed around electronics, batteries, displays, buttons, connectors, and cable entries.
- Jigs, fixtures, and shop aids that hold, align, or speed up your own production.
What you get
- 3D models and images to review and approve before anything is made.
- STEP files for any CAD program, plus STL files for printing.
- PDF drawings with dimensions, tolerances, and notes, ready for any shop.
- DXF files for laser cutting and routing.
- You own the designs we create for you.
- Design work is quoted up front, so you know the cost before we start.
For example: a wall-mounted holder for a handheld scanner, from a phone photo and a few measurements to an approved design in a few days, then 3D printed in ASA for outdoor use.
