Custom CAD Design Services
Design Service
Most of our customers create their own
designs in our free CAD software and we encourage you to do so - we have many tools that make it easy to learn our software.
We also recognize that you might want to use us without using our CAD software. Our design services include:
- Review a design for manufactureability, cost optimization, tolerances,
material selection, surface finish, etc.
- Assist in completing a partial design.
- Making a CAD drawing from a concept, hand or paper drawing, physical part or from another CAD format to get a price or place an order.
- Help you get started using the software
- Help you create a new design.
- etc.
Assistance can be done email or via phone, optionally using the Crossloop screen sharing utility.

ORDERING A CAD DRAWING:
Although we do not give price quotations without an eMachineShop CAD file, we do offer quotations for the cost of making a CAD drawing of your part which, in turn, will give a price to manufacture your part. For a free no-obligation quotation for the cost of making an eMachineShop CAD drawing of your part, email us a picture of the part, a drawing of the part or send us a physical part. You can use the CAD drawing file to see and rotate your part in 3D, view price and delivery time options at various quantities and to order online. Most CAD drawings of single parts range from $25 to $100. If you need to send us a sample part, tell us whether you will need the sample returned to you - if so return shipping and handling charges will apply. Ship sample parts to the address at the bottom of this page. If we decline to quote on drawing your part you will not be charged (unless you send us part(s) which you need returned). Prices quoted to create a CAD file do not include subsequent revisions that you might request.
DISCLAIMER:
The customer assumes full responsibility for checking designs and engineering/manufacturing advice we provide in terms of
correctness, dimensions, safety, applicability, etc. When ordering parts
based on a design that we have developed or based on our advice, you agree to accept parts manufactured in
accordance with the design and accept other responsibilities under the same conditions as if you made the
design.
