From the rough idea to a part you can test.
Mechanical design in Creo, with CAD deliverables, prototype quantities, and revision scope agreed before work starts.
The lead offer
One defined fit, mounting, or assembly problem, taken to a part you can hold and test.
You bring the problem and whatever exists: a sketch, a photo with a ruler, rough CAD, or the part it has to work with. We review the interfaces and use, then agree on the changes to model and test.
The scope names what you receive. Depending on the project:
- CAD in the agreed format, delivered parametric when it is modelled work.
- Drawings, when they are scoped.
- A prototype quantity, when it is scoped.
- The included revision round, and the agreed checks.
Not every project includes all of these. The quote says which, and each further revision round has its own agreed scope and schedule. You own the agreed project files.
The work
Reverse engineering
From the physical part, broken or not. We review the interfaces and use, then agree on the changes to model and test.
Design for manufacture
Walls, load paths, radii, process choice. The part is designed for how it will actually be made, in FDM or the process that follows.
New design
A bracket, an enclosure, a fixture, or the first version of a product. Deliverables and quantity agreed before we start.
File repair
Non-manifold meshes, inverted normals, zero-thickness walls. Repaired so the file prints. Mesh repair is not parametric CAD, and the quote says so.
Three rates, not one
Repairing a mesh is not tolerancing an assembly, so it is not the same price.
- File preparation and repair
- Mechanical design in Creo
- GD&T and tolerance analysis
1-hour minimum on all three.
The first reply is a free review of fit and what is missing. Design, analysis, and testing are scoped and quoted before they start, and you hear about any overrun while there is still a decision to make.
