Hand and Digital Sketching

Our engineers love sketching new ideas. This process is the basis for all further development and serves as a starting point for development and communication.

Manufacturing Drawing

We can generate anything from complex manufacturing ready drawings, to detailed line drawing for any type of media; Assembly instructions, illustrated detail views for manuals. We work closely with our clients to make sure that drawings fit with your current brand, or to develop a brand strategy for this stage of development.

We specialize in troubleshooting or refreshing older drawings, modernizing or rebranding drawings, or digitizing hand-drawn ones.

2D Drawing

Individual Part design

Our experienced engineers are truly pros at turning an idea sketch or verbal scope into the first 1:1 representation of your product.

We specialize in DFM (Design For Manufacturing) and provide a truly rapid turnaround, sometimes same-day production ready. Modular product ecosystems can be challenging, but our engineers excel at keeping procucts both functional and cohesive with others in the line, or with your brand in general.

Large assembly management

We carefully monitor subassembly parts and ensure maximum compatibility. We specialize in modular configurations ensuring maximum value is achieved downstream in the product design process.

We provide anything from unique and innovative designs, working closely with our clients to bring their visions to life.

We specialize in troubleshooting assemblies, finding and fixing broken or missing mates and sketch entities, creating and re-configuring assemblies with many options, and designing for modularity. These assets are directly compatible with our photorealistic render pipeline, so organization here truly goes a long way.

3D Design

2D Static Renders

We use state of the art hardware and software to generate stunning photorealistic product renders. Visualization is the best way to deliver a bigger punch with 3D Assets.

Product Animations

Our photoreal pipeline generates immaculate videos and animations. From assembly explosions and illustrative transparency, to fantastical

Product Visualization

Simulation

We can provide a preliminary FEA (Finite Element Analysis) simulation to determine system stability in response to inputs, and determine likely failure modes.

Analysis

Our engineers will gladly look over simulation or real gathered data and provide insight and analysis. We can generate spreadsheets, graphs and plots, using many types of visual and numerical analytical approaches. If necessary, we work with an external vibration analysis company to provide a thorough round of certified testing.

Simulation and Analysis

Prototyping

In-house 3D Printers (FDM, SLA), a CNC Machine (3" cu.), a Laser Cutter (8" sq), and engineering team can work wonders for generating a 1st article or prototype. We work closely with local manufacturers for any feature or requirement that we are not able to handle in-house, such as sheet bending and all finishing.

Production

Once your product has passed all design checks and verifications, we will generate manufacturing drawings (if not already), estimate costing and delivery, and send a purchase order to a manufacturer that meets your requirements. Estimated TOD (Time On Delivery) is typically between 6-8 weeks.
