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.

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.
