cad design & drafting

Models and drawings a manufacturer can build from, starting from a sketch, a sample, or a conversation.

A sketch on a napkin, a physical sample, or twenty minutes on the phone gives us enough to start. We build the design in Autodesk Inventor as a parametric model, then turn it into drawings precise enough for a shop to quote and build from.

Turning an idea into a model

Every project starts somewhere different: a hand-drawn concept, a part you can hold, or a description of what it needs to do. We develop the design for manufacture from the first sketch, so the model that comes out the other end is ready for a shop floor rather than a screen.

  • Concept development and design-for-manufacture from a sketch, a physical sample, or a verbal brief
  • Parametric 3D models and assemblies in Autodesk Inventor, structured so one dimension change updates every related part and drawing

Drawings a shop can quote from

A model alone will not get a part built. We draft the 2D views and apply GD&T so every tolerance is stated once, clearly, in a form a machinist can measure against. If you already have a drawing package that has drifted out of date, we clean it up rather than starting over.

  • Full 2D drafting with GD&T on every production drawing
  • Drawing package cleanup: consistent title blocks, current revisions, dimensions that match the model

Ready for what comes next

Design rarely stops at approval. As the part moves toward production, we keep the files ready for whatever comes next.

  • 3D-print-ready files, so you can hold a prototype before committing to tooling
  • Supplier-ready specifications and disciplined revision control as the design changes
