01
Brief & scope
You share concept, sketches, or full RFQ. We respond within 24 hours with scoping questions and a fixed-price proposal.
From concept sketch
to commissioned machine.
Three integrated disciplines under one contract. You brief us once, we deliver the finished system - designed, manufactured, and automated to your specifications.
- 01 / DESIGN
Mechanical Design & Drafting
From a napkin sketch or a written brief, we produce production-ready CAD models, drawings, and BOMs. Every drawing is GD&T-compliant, dimensioned to your standards, and reviewed for manufacturability before it leaves our office.
What's included
- 3D parametric modelling
- Assembly modelling
- 2D production drawings
- GD&T per ASME Y14.5
- DFM / DFA review
- Tolerance stack analysis
- Bill of materials (BOM)
- Reverse engineering
- FEA / structural simulation
- Design optimization
Deliverables
Native SolidWorks/AutoCAD files · STEP/IGES exchange formats · Fully-dimensioned PDF drawings · BOM in Excel · Design review document
- 02 / MANUFACTURE
Precision Manufacturing
We don't just hand you drawings and wish you luck. Our workshop turns the design into hardware - CNC-machined parts, fabricated sheet metal, welded frames, and fully assembled machines. Every component is inspected against the drawing before it ships.
What's included
- 3-axis CNC machining
- 5-axis CNC machining
- CNC turning / lathe work
- Sheet metal fabrication
- MIG / TIG welding
- Structural steel assemblies
- Mechanical assembly
- Surface finishing & coating
- Dimensional QC inspection
- Factory acceptance testing
Deliverables
Finished components or fully-assembled machines · QC inspection report · Material certificates · Export-ready crating
- 03 / AUTOMATE
Industrial Automation
A machine that doesn't move is just a sculpture. Our automation team writes the PLC logic, designs the HMI, wires the control panel, integrates the sensors, and commissions the system on your shop floor or ours.
What's included
- PLC programming (multi-platform)
- HMI / touch screen development
- SCADA system configuration
- Servo & VFD motor control
- Sensor integration
- Machine vision systems
- Pneumatic & hydraulic control
- Control panel design & wiring
- Electrical schematic drawings
- On-site commissioning & training
Deliverables
Wired control panel · PLC program with documented code · HMI screens · IEC 60204 electrical schematics · Commissioning report · Operator training
How we work
A predictable engagement, end to end.
No black boxes, no scope creep. Each phase has defined deliverables, a fixed cost, and a checkpoint before we move on.
02
Design & review
We model, draft, and analyze. You get drawings and a design review document before approving manufacture.
03
Manufacture & assemble
Components are machined, fabricated, and assembled. Inspection reports are shared as parts complete.
04
Automate & commission
PLC code, HMI, and wiring are integrated. The machine runs at our facility for FAT, then ships and commissions at yours.
