Our engineering group partners with you from concept through release. We translate native CAD, calculate flight blanks, conduct structured DFM audits, help validate clearances, and recommend alloys and finishes that fit both duty requirements and cost targets.
Highlights
- DFM reviews flag stack-ups, undercuts, and cost drivers; annotated 3-D PDFs returned in ≤ 3 days
- Flight-blank calculator outputs ±0.25 mm accurate patterns up to Ø 4 500 mm
- Native support for SOLIDWORKS®, Inventor®, STEP, Parasolid, DWG/DXF, and MBD workflows
- Alloy & surface-finish guidance for food, abrasion, or high-temp screws
- Mixer/blender screw design collaboration achieves < 5 % blend Cᵥ in pilot trials
