Design and CAD
Need design help?
Learning to be proficient with CAD software can take years of learning and time that you just don't have. Hiring someone who knows what they are doing can make every step of the design process exponentially more efficient. And these days, design help doesn't even necessarily require an in-person visit: I have worked with customers across the country to make their products a reality. Let's work together to turn your idea into a workable product!
How it went for a customer in Virginia
A set of bicycle brake adapters, 2024.
Customer design
The customer was inexperienced at CAD modeling, and his models were very difficult to make changes to.
CAD professional
Mechanical Superiority came to the rescue and created new models from the existing geometry that were properly built and referenced for rapid changes.
Rapid iteration
The improved models took design changes from being a time-consuming nightmare for the customer, to being a rapid process with a few emails and text messages. We were able to work through design changes as fast as the customer's 3D printer could run to print the prototypes.
Proof of concept
With the rapid iterations, we were able to test multiple different concepts and geometries until the end product fit and functioned just right. At that point, we knew with high confidence what we were going to have delivered from the machine shop.
Cut
Mechanical Superiority sent models and drawings out to a known machine shop, and the parts came back looking beautiful and to the exact specifications needed. They bolted up and fit perfectly the first time.
You'll speak directly with the engineer who is actually working on your project, the same day, in plain English.
No salesmen, no clueless managers, no language barrier, no bureaucracy, no delays. Fewer misunderstandings means a part that looks like what you had in mind.
