Design and engineering support

We turn sketches, worn parts and legacy drawings into production-ready drawings, and review your drawings for cost before quoting.

What we do

Six services, each starting from what you already have.

ServiceWhat you sendWhat you get
DFM reviewDrawing and STEPWritten notes on features that add cost or risk, before we quote
CAD modelling from sketchesSketch, photos, dimensions3D model and a drawing to review
Reverse engineering of spare partsThe worn part, or its measurements3D model and a production drawing
ISO/DIN production drawingsA model or a legacy drawingA drawing with tolerances and notes, ready to quote
Assembly designFunction, interfaces, loadsParts and an assembly drawing that fit together
Cost-down redesignCurrent drawing and target quantityChanges that cut machining time, with the trade-offs listed

From worn part to drawing

A spare part with no drawing is still a part we can measure. We capture its geometry and rebuild it as a clean model.

You then get a production drawing with tolerances and material, so the next part can be ordered from any shop.

Drawings a supplier can quote

A drawing with open tolerances or missing data means the quote is a guess. We check the drawing against a short list before it goes to a shop.

Where a change would cut cost without hurting function, we tell you what it is and what it trades away.
