You have a concept. You know what it needs to do. Now you need it in a form that an engineer, an investor, or a factory can actually work with. That's precisely what this service delivers.

CAD Development & DFM Analysis takes your validated concept — whether it comes from a Discovery Sprint, an internal brief, or your own research — and develops it into a complete, parametric 3D design system. Every component resolved. Every assembly documented. Every manufacturing constraint identified and addressed before a single prototype is commissioned. This isn't just modeling what you describe. It's engineering what your product needs to become. Here's what the process looks like: We start from your brief. Whether you completed a Product Discovery Sprint with us or arrived with your own validated concept, we begin by aligning on scope, defining milestones, and establishing a formal project record. You know exactly what will be delivered, when, and at what cost — before any work begins. I build your product in 3D. Using CAD modeling in SolidWorks, Rhinoceros 3D, Fusion 360, or Alias — depending on your product's geometry and complexity — I develop the complete physical design system. Form, function, component architecture, assembly logic, ergonomics, and structural considerations are resolved simultaneously, not sequentially. Nothing is left for the prototype to figure out. Every significant decision gets your sign-off. At defined review milestones, we meet to validate progress, capture your feedback, and formally authorize the next stage. No surprises. No wasted development hours. Every revision is documented — what changed, why, and when — so the project record is always clean and traceable. I analyze it against real manufacturing constraints. Throughout development, I apply Design for Manufacturing analysis — identifying production challenges, material limitations, assembly issues, and cost implications while there's still time to address them without starting over. This is the step that separates a design that looks right from a design that can actually be built. What you receive at the end: · A complete CAD system — native files ready for engineering review or prototype commissioning · Full component documentation · DFM report — manufacturing constraints, material recommendations, and production considerations · Anthropometric and ergonomic integration documentation · Technical drawings with dimensional specifications · Photorealistic renders for stakeholder presentation, investor decks, or client validation · A complete, signed change control record — every revision documented and authorized What you can do with it: Hand the package directly to a prototype manufacturer, a mechanical engineer, or your internal production team and begin validation immediately. Or continue with us into Full Product Development — prototype support, iteration, and final documentation included. If the project calls for it, a scoped proposal for the next phase is ready within 48 hours of delivery. This service is structured and delivered under an ISO 9001 quality process. Every stage has a defined control point. Every deliverable is traceable. You always know exactly where your project stands. Confidentiality is guaranteed from the first conversation. NDAs available before any project details are shared. This service does not include or guarantee manufacturing performance, regulatory certification, or commercial viability of the resulting product. All deliverables are design and engineering documents developed to support prototype development and iterative validation processes.
