Our Mechanical Engineering Design Services
Engage DevWorks for one defined package, such as detailing an existing model or running an FEA study, or for the full path from concept to production release. Each service below links to a dedicated page with more detail.
1
3D Modeling & Parametric Design
We build parametric 3D part and assembly models that capture your design intent, so dimensions and features update cleanly when the design changes. Models are prepared for drawings, simulation, and manufacturing from the start.
- 3D modeling & parametric design
- Assembly design
- Sheet metal & fabrication
- GD&T and tolerance analysis
2
CAD Drafting & Detailing
We produce 2D manufacturing drawings with the dimensions, tolerances, and notes your shop needs to build the part without guesswork. We also convert legacy drawings and update existing drawing sets after design changes.
- 2D drafting
- Technical drawing conversion
- Design modifications
- BOM generation
3
Design Automation
When your products repeat with different sizes or options, we capture the design rules once and let the system generate models, drawings, and BOMs for each variant. This cuts repetitive modeling time and keeps every output consistent with your design standards.
- CAD rule-based automation
- Auto-drawing generation
- Configurator development
- Design standard enforcement
4
Product Engineering & DFM
We develop product concepts into prototype-ready designs, checking function, fit, and manufacturability along the way. Design for Manufacturing (DFM) reviews help reduce part cost and avoid changes after tooling is ordered.
- Concept development
- Design validation
- Prototype-ready models
- DFM (Design for Manufacturing)
5
FEA & Simulation
We use finite element analysis (FEA) to check stress, deflection, heat, and motion behavior before you build a prototype. Problems found in simulation cost far less to fix than problems found on the shop floor.
- Structural analysis
- Thermal analysis
- Motion analysis
- Performance optimization
6
Reverse Engineering
We convert 3D scan data, measurements, and legacy drawings into editable CAD models of existing parts. This helps you replace obsolete components, document undocumented equipment, or redesign a part to improve it.
- 3D scan-to-CAD conversion
- CAD recreation
- Product redesign & improvement
7
Engineering Documentation
We prepare the documentation that moves a design into production and keeps it maintainable, including manufacturing drawings, assembly instructions, compliance documents, and technical reports. Documentation is prepared from the released CAD data so it matches the design.
- Manufacturing drawings
- Compliance documentation
- Assembly manuals
- Technical reports
8
Tooling & Fixture Design
We design jigs, fixtures, and tooling that hold parts accurately during machining, welding, assembly, and inspection. Well-designed fixtures improve repeatability and reduce setup time on the shop floor.
- Machining fixtures
- Welding fixtures
- Assembly jigs
- Inspection fixtures
Engineering Automation That Extends Your Design Work
Mechanical design work continues after the first release: variants, revisions, approvals, and data other teams depend on. These services connect your designs to the systems around them, drawing on our engineering design automation team.
01.
Product Lifecycle Engineering
Design support from concept through production, plus engineering changes and revisions after launch.
Drawings, reports, and BOMs generated directly from CAD data, so they stay consistent with the model.
Custom tools and add-ins built for your CAD environment and your team's design standards.
Structured approval, revision, and release steps so design changes reach manufacturing without manual handoffs.
Centralized storage and version control for CAD and engineering data, so every team works from the current revision.
Analysis of design, quality, and production data to find recurring issues and improvement opportunities.

How a Mechanical Design Project Works
Review scope and inputs
Share what you have: sketches, CAD files, drawings, photos, or physical parts. We confirm requirements, deliverables, CAD platform, and timeline before work starts.
Concept and layout
We develop the mechanical layout and resolve interfaces, loads, materials, and the manufacturing method.
Detailed 3D design
We build parametric 3D models and assemblies in your CAD platform, following your design standards.
Validate
We run FEA and DFM checks where the design needs them and review the results with your engineers.
Release and support
We deliver drawings, BOMs, and native CAD files, then support fabrication questions and revisions through production.
Why Manufacturers Choose DevWorks for Mechanical Design
DevWorks combines mechanical design, simulation, and design automation in one team, so a design can move from concept to production and then scale into repeatable, rule-driven work.
