This page is for potential collaborators — fabricators, engineers, and project managers who want to understand the tools, process, and working style before a first conversation.
Most engagements follow the same basic pattern. The key is getting a clean brief upfront — the more context We have on the scope, the tighter the deliverable. We don't bill for back-and-forth caused by unclear scope, but We do need you to have a clear picture of what you actually need before we start.
You describe what you need — drawings, detailing, a PDM system, RFQ support. We ask the questions that matter: deliverable format, timeline, existing CAD/data to work from, who's reviewing.
Fixed-price or hourly depending on scope definition. For well-defined packages (a drawing set, a BOM) We prefer fixed. For ongoing or exploratory work, hourly with a cap.
We work from your reference files, sketches, specs, or existing CAD. Communication through Teams, email, or SharePoint — whichever fits your workflow. We send progress updates at meaningful milestones, not daily.
One structured review round is included in any fixed-price engagement. Revisions beyond that are scoped and billed separately. Markup via PDF redline, Teams comment, or a quick call — your choice.
Deliverables via email, SharePoint, or OneDrive. Formats as agreed — typically STEP + PDF drawings + DXF cut files + XLSX BOM. Native CAD files available on request.
Primary CAD platform. Parts, assemblies, drawings, sheet metal, BOM tables. Production-ready packages.
Custom-built data management system. Handles part tracking, revision control, BOM extraction, and automated drawing exports — deployed onsite for your team.
Teams for communication, SharePoint for shared files, OneDrive for document storage and project files. Works with your existing M365 tenant.
Automation scripting for PDM workflows, BOM extraction, file processing pipelines, and scheduled tasks.
Embedded database for part number tracking, revision history, lifecycle state, and BOM records in the PDM system.
STEP, DXF, PDF, XLSX. Whatever the shop, the CNC, or the ERP system needs. No locked proprietary formats unless you want them.
Most delays and rework come from the same places: unclear scope, late reference material, or review feedback arriving from five different people with conflicting direction. Here's what We need from a client to get clean work out fast.
We've worked with fabricators and project teams long enough to know what actually matters on their end. You'll get:
