3D/2D File Submission

We can accept 2D technical drawings or 3D printed models, which we will examine for manufacturability and design suggestions.

File interrogation

When you submit your proprietary design, we extract information from your drawings and part files to evaluate the feasibility of every design element.

DFM

We integrate Design for Manufacturability throughout the NPD process to facilitate production, reduce costs and eliminate potentially expensive delays.

Design adjustments

Our engineers can make recommendations including material selection, wall thickness analysis, tooling, mold flow analysis, surface finish and part decoration.
