Design & CAD

You don't need a file to start.

A sketch, a photo with a ruler in it, or the broken part itself. Modeled in Creo, with the intent in it.

The work

  • 01

    Reverse engineering

    From the physical part, broken or not. Rebuilt with the failure designed out, not copied.

  • 02

    Design for additive

    Walls, load paths, radii. Forty minutes of thinking is the difference between a part that lasts and one that snaps.

  • 03

    File repair

    Non-manifold meshes, inverted normals, zero-thickness walls. Why nobody can print your STL.

  • 04

    Design from scratch

    A bracket, an enclosure, a fixture. Quoted with a number before we start.

Three rates, not one

Fixing a mesh is not tolerancing an assembly, so it is not the same price.

File prep and repair
$95/hr
Design and Creo modeling
$145/hr
GD&T and tolerance analysis
$185/hr

1-hour minimum on all three.

You own the model, built parametric so it can change later. The first opinion is free: send the part and we tell you whether it needs design work at all.

Send the part

Describe it badly. We'll ask the right questions.
