Most product cost is locked in at the design stage, so a DFM review before tooling is the cheapest engineering hour you will ever buy. Our engineers read your CAD, flag features that will cause scrap or slow cycle times, and propose changes with quantified savings.
DFM analysis with marked-up drawings and recommendations
Material and process selection benchmarking
Tolerance rationalisation to reduce cost without losing function
Wall thickness, draft and gate position review for moulding
Assembly simplification and part consolidation
Cost modelling across processes and volumes

Yes. Every quote includes a DFM pass and we send the findings whether or not you place the order, because a well-designed part is cheaper for both of us in production.
Yes. Send your drawing standard, tolerance scheme and any customer specific requirements and we will review against them rather than against our defaults.
Yes, we sign mutual NDAs before any technical data is shared, and tooling and drawings are stored with restricted access.
Verification builds and testing: pilot tooling samples, dimensional reports, material certification and functional testing before mass production commitment.
Production packaging, kitting and labelling: retail cartons, foam inserts, barcode labelling and drop-tested transport packaging.
Mass production ramp and repeat supply: moulding, casting and machining at volume with process control, scheduled deliveries and stock holding.
