End-to-End Mechanical Engineering

Design.
Manufacture.
Automate.

AptoCAD Engineering is a full-stack mechanical engineering firm. From SolidWorks design through CNC manufacturing to PLC-driven automation, we deliver finished machinery - not just drawings.

Precision CNC-machined aluminium housing component
  • Trusted across 4 countries
  • NDA-ready engagements
  • 24-hour quote response
  • ISO 2768 & ASME Y14.5 compliant

What we do

One team. Three disciplines. Zero handoff loss.

Most projects fail in the gaps between design, manufacturing, and automation. We own all three - so your machine ships on schedule, to spec, ready to run.

01 / DESIGN

Mechanical Design

SolidWorks and AutoCAD modelling, GD&T-compliant production drawings, DFM reviews, and BOMs ready for the shop floor.

  • 3D modelling & assemblies
  • 2D production drawings
  • GD&T per ASME Y14.5
  • DFM / DFA reviews

02 / MANUFACTURE

Precision Manufacturing

We turn drawings into hardware. CNC machining, sheet metal, welded assemblies, and full machine builds - all to your tolerances.

  • CNC machining
  • Sheet metal fabrication
  • Welded structural assemblies
  • Full machine integration

03 / AUTOMATE

Industrial Automation

PLC programming, HMI design, sensor integration, and electrical control panels. We commission machines that work on day one.

  • PLC programming
  • HMI development
  • Sensor & vision integration
  • Control panel wiring

Why AptoCAD

Engineering teams choose us for reasons that show up in delivery.

- 01

End-to-end accountability

One contract from concept to commissioned machine. No coordinating between three vendors, no finger-pointing when something doesn't fit.

- 02

Engineering rigor

Every drawing reviewed for DFM. Every weldment checked for clearance. Every PLC program documented for handover. No corners cut.

- 03

Transparent pricing

Fixed-scope quotes with milestone billing. No surprise change orders mid-project. You know what you're paying before we start.

- 04

Built for export

We work under NDA, deliver in your preferred file formats, and ship globally with documented QC. Your IP is treated with care.

Client feedback

What engineering teams say after working with us.

We came to AptoCAD with a concept and they took it from there — calculations, design, and getting the machines built and shipped to us. Both have been running without trouble since. Having one team cover the whole thing instead of coordinating a designer and a fabricator separately made it much simpler on our end.

We fabricate in-house, so what we need from a design partner is drawings we can actually build from. Ishara's were exactly that — properly detailed, nothing left for us to guess at. We built both the feeder hopper and the screen drum straight off the drawings and they went together as designed.

AptoCAD handles the design side of our stairs, railings, and steel and aluminium doors and windows. The drawings come back clean and on time, and revisions are turned around fast even with the time difference. Straightforward to work with.
