01 · DEFINE
Sketch & measurements
You send dimensions, the mating parts or a photo of them, expected loads and clearances. A hand sketch is fine.
02 · MODEL
Parametric CAD
I build it properly — feature history, editable dimensions. You get a render and a STEP file, and we lock the numbers together.
03 · PROVE
Printed prototype
A real part in your hand. Doesn't fit? Adjust the model, reprint. Usually one or two rounds and it's done.
What to send
- A sketch or drawing — even on paper
- Caliper measurements of the key features
- The broken or worn original, or a photo with a ruler
- The parts it has to mate with (or their models)
- What it does: loads, movement, heat, environment
- A reference product that's close to what you want
What you get back
- A clean parametric CAD model
- A neutral STEP file you own and can take anywhere
- A render to sign off before anything is printed
- A printed prototype in the material you'll use
- Revisions until the fit is right
- A production-ready file once it's proven
When CAD + print makes sense
Replacing a discontinued part
Model it from the broken one, print a run.

A bracket or mount that doesn't exist

Adapting something to fit

Proving a design before tooling
Iterate in plastic, commit to a mould later.
