Engineering Support
For teams with more backlog than engineers.
Two engineers and forty open tasks? This is overflow capacity for the mechanical design work that keeps slipping: part and fixture models, drawing cleanup, tolerance reviews, revision updates. Each task is quoted up front within 24–48 hours, every deliverable is a file you own, and when a design needs to become parts, the same team quotes that too.

The gap this fills
Most small OEMs and product teams don’t have an engineering shortage — they have an engineering bottleneck. The two people who can model a fixture or fix a drawing are also the two people running the product, so the backlog of “small” design tasks grows quietly until something ships late.
Hiring takes months and design firms are built for bigger engagements than “we need eleven drawings cleaned up.” This service is task-sized: send one job, get it quoted, get it done, repeat as needed.
What the team takes on
New part and fixture models from sketches or requirements. Old prints redrawn into clean, current documentation. Tolerance and fit reviews before a design goes out for quotes. DFM passes over existing models. Turning the one surviving sample of a legacy part into real files — that one’s common enough to have its own page.
And an honest line on scope: this is mechanical, part-level work. Full product-development programs, electronics, firmware, and industrial-design styling aren’t what this is — if a task is outside the lane, you’ll hear it straight when you ask.
How working together works
Send the task through the quote form with whatever files exist. Scope, price, and timeline come back within 24–48 hours — quoted per task, no retainer, no minimum commitment. Deliverables are STEP models and PDF prints you own, with native SolidWorks available when your workflow wants it.
When the design is done, the handoff problem disappears: the team that drew the print can quote making the parts, and the print was built knowing it would have to face a quote. One thread from CAD to inspected, shipped parts.
Questions
Before you send a job.
01 What kinds of tasks fit this service?
Part models, fixture and jig design, drawing cleanup and redraws, tolerance reviews, DFM passes, and revision updates. Not sure if yours fits? Send it — you’ll get a straight yes or no, not a stretch.
02 How is the work priced?
Per task, up front: scope, price, and timeline within 24–48 hours of sending it. No hourly drip, no retainer to justify.
03 Who owns the work product?
You do — models, prints, and revisions, with no lock-in. Use them with any supplier, including this one.
04 Can you work in our CAD system?
Deliverables are STEP and PDF as standard, which every CAD system reads cleanly, with native SolidWorks (SLDPRT) available. If your team lives in something else, STEP keeps the geometry exact.
05 What’s out of scope?
Full product-development programs, electronics and firmware, and pure styling work. The lane is mechanical parts, fixtures, and documentation — the work that turns into machined hardware.
