Services

What we do

Four services, taken separately or combined into a standing weekly commitment. We work in your software, your templates and your systems.

01

Fully-integrated support

Best over the long term

As many hours a week as you need, inside your processes and systems, so your own engineers can start on the next project.

Standing weekly capacity

  • Hours agreed per week, up or down as your order book moves
  • We work in your software, your templates and your PLM or ERP
  • We start with a conversation about where the peak is, not a fixed package
  • Most valuable long term, because knowledge of your products stays with the team

02

Work preparation & 2D/3D refiling

DWG · DXF · STEP · PDF

2D into 3D or the other way round, plus the files and overviews your shop floor needs to get started.

Production-ready file set

  • DWG, DXF, STEP and PDF, with a matching overview in Excel
  • Filed back into your PLM or ERP system where required
  • Process overviews that make machine time, cost and man hours quick to assess
  • Renders of your design for quotations and client presentations

03

Model Based Definition (MBD)

ASME Y14.41 · ISO 16792

Every dimension, tolerance and GD&T/PMI callout inside the 3D model. One source of truth for CNC and CMM, with no room for interpretation.

Annotated 3D model

  • Dimensions, tolerances and GD&T/PMI embedded in the model
  • Toolpaths and inspection routines generated straight from the model
  • Conversion of legacy 2D drawings into an annotated model
  • Ready for digital manufacturing and Industry 4.0 practice
Drawing with GD&T frames and datum references applied to the model.

04

Revision work

Codes & standards

One detail change touches ten documents. We push the change through and keep the whole set consistent.

Updated, consistent drawing set

  • Feedback from your client or production floor turned into a technical solution
  • Checks against the international codes and standards that apply
  • Unit conversion and switching between European and American projection
  • Exploded views, assembly drawings, drawing notes and work instructions

Where we work

Sectors and competencies

The industries we know, what we are strongest at, and the work we actually do day to day.

Primary industries

  • Mechanical engineering
  • Machinery manufacturing

Specialisations and core competencies

  • Standardisation
  • PLM / DMS management

Professional role

  • 3D modelling
  • Drafting
  • All-round design

Core competency

Standardisation

Most drawing offices grow their own conventions one project at a time: three ways to name a part, four title block variants, tolerances that mean different things on different sheets. We bring that back to one set of rules and apply it across the whole file set, so a drawing reads the same whoever picks it up.

  • One naming convention, one template set, one way of tolerancing
  • Legacy drawings brought in line with the current standard
  • Rules written down, so your own engineers can keep it consistent

Core competency

PLM / DMS management

Files are only worth what you can find again. We file everything back into your own PLM or DMS with the right revision, status and metadata, so the shop floor never works from a superseded drawing.
