2. Industry-Specific Expertise
- Manufacturing: Tooling design, sheet metal fabrication, CNC programming.
- Architecture: HVAC planning, structural detailing, MEP (mechanical/electrical/plumbing) systems.
- Automotive: Class-A surfacing, GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), crash simulation prep.
- Aerospace: Composite material modeling, aerodynamic analysis support.
End-to-End Service Workflow
Phase 1: Requirement Analysis & Scope Finalization
- Step 1: Client consultation to define project scope, deliverables (e.g., DWG, STEP, IGES files), and timelines.
- Step 2: Free audit of existing CAD assets (if applicable) to identify optimization opportunities.
- Step 3: Sign-off on NDAs and data security protocols (ISO 27001-certified cloud storage).
Phase 2: Design & Development
- Step 4: 2D/3D modeling using industry-standard tools:
- AutoCAD, SolidWorks, CATIA, Revit, Fusion 360.
- Step 5: Multi-stage quality checks:
- Layer standardization (per AIA or ISO 13567).
- Tolerance stack-up analysis for manufacturing readiness.
- Clash detection in BIM projects via Navisworks.
Phase 3: Delivery & Post-Support
- Step 6: File delivery in preferred formats (PDF, DXF, STL, etc.) with revision logs.
- Step 7: 90-day post-delivery support for minor adjustments at no extra cost.
