Tools & Standards
The platforms we work in and the standards we hold to.
Our engineering team works in the platforms your team already uses, on the standards your program already requires. We import CAD directly from your tools, hold GD&T to ASME Y14.5, and manage drawing release and revision control with the same rigor as our quality system.
- Solidworks (Primary CAD System)
- FEA via Solidworks Simulation
- 3D Model Inspection and Scanning
- Step/IGES/Parasolid Import
- Drawing Package and Revision Control
- PE Stamping Available
Equipment & Capacity
