CAD & 3D modellingDFM reviewPrototypingDocumentation
Most cost and most risk in a part is locked in at the drawing stage — a feature that's expensive to machine, a tolerance tighter than it needs to be, a material that's hard to source.
We turn your concept, sample, or sketch into a manufacturable design: 3D modelled, reviewed for manufacturability, prototyped, and documented.
Because we also make the parts, our DFM feedback is grounded in what actually runs on our floor — not theory.
The process
How it flows
Brief / sample
→ Concept & CAD
→ DFM review
→ Prototype
→ Drawing pack
→ Into production
Stage by stage
What we actually do
01
Concept & CAD
We model your part or product in 3D from a brief, sketch, or physical sample.
02
DFM review
We review for manufacturability — features, tolerances, and materials that drive cost.
03
Prototype
We machine or fabricate a prototype for fit, form, and function checks.
04
Documentation
We produce the drawing pack and BOM ready for production.
