Mechanical CAD & design services

From a single drawing package to complete machinery development.

What we do

Six areas of work. Most projects draw on two or three of them.

3D CAD & detailed drawings

The core of the business: accurate, properly structured SolidWorks models and the drawings that come from them.

  • Parts, weldments and large assemblies
  • Fabrication and machining drawings
  • BOMs and complete production packs
  • GD&T and tolerance specification
  • STEP, IGES, DXF and PDF exports

Product & machinery design

New equipment developed from a brief, a problem or a sketch on the back of a job card.

  • Concept development and feasibility
  • Detailed mechanical design
  • Mechanism and linkage design
  • Prototype and first-build support
  • Design iteration after field trials

Reverse engineering

Physical components turned into accurate, editable CAD — for obsolete parts, undrawn legacy equipment and worn patterns.

  • Measured survey and 3D scanning
  • Scan data to parametric SolidWorks models
  • Drawings for parts that never had any
  • Obsolete component re-manufacture

Design improvement & DFM

Existing designs made cheaper, more reliable and easier to build — usually the fastest return on design spend.

  • Design for manufacture and assembly
  • Cost and part-count reduction
  • Reliability and failure-point review
  • Legacy drawing packages brought up to date

Welding, fabrication & laser profiles

Fabricated structures detailed the way a workshop wants to receive them, with cut files ready for the profiler.

  • Weldment design and weld detailing
  • Frames, bases and equipment supports
  • Flat patterns and cut lists
  • Laser and plasma profile DXF preparation
  • Jigs, fixtures and assembly tooling

3D printing & prototyping

Getting a part in your hand early, before the expensive commitments are made.

  • Fit, clearance and ergonomics check models
  • Functional prototype components
  • Low-volume covers, guards and brackets
  • Concept models for design reviews and sales
How we are engaged

Whatever suits the piece of work

Fixed-price package

Best where the scope is clear — a defined drawing package or a specific component redesign.

Day rate

Suits evolving work and blocks of overflow capacity booked in advance.

Retained capacity

A set number of days each month for businesses needing predictable design support.
