Already manufacturable on the day you receive the model.
Production-grade modeling, flat patterns, weldments, and shop drawings — built to your bend table, your tolerances, and your fabricator's machine envelope.
One team. Every layer of sheet metal engineering.
From first concept geometry to a fabricator-ready drawing pack — tightly scoped capabilities, modular by design.
Production-ready 3D sheet metal modeling
Native SolidWorks, Inventor, and NX models with proper bend tables, K-factors, gussets, and weldments — built to your fabricator's machine envelope.
Flat patterns & DXF export
Press-brake-ready DXF and STEP exports with bend lines, notations, and material call-outs — drop straight into your CAM.
Weldments & assemblies
Multi-body assemblies, weld beads, gussets, and frame structures with full BOM rollup.
Manufacturing drawings
GD&T-compliant 2D drawings with views, dimensions, weld symbols, and revision blocks.
Reverse engineering
From scanned point clouds and physical samples back to clean parametric sheet metal models.
Manufacturability audit
Every model is checked against bend radii, tool clearances, hole-to-edge ratios, and material availability before release.
Six checkpoints from your CAD to fabricator-ready files.
A predictable rhythm — every project moves through the same numbered checkpoints, with reviews built in at every stage.
01
CAD intake & brief lock
You share native CAD or scans. We lock material grade, thickness, finish, and the target fabricator's machine envelope.
02
Geometry clean-up
Imported geometry is repaired, simplified, and rebuilt as parametric sheet metal — no orphan surfaces, no broken bends.
03
Bend table calibration
K-factor, bend radius, and bend deduction are dialed to your press brake's actual tooling — not generic defaults.
04
Weldments & assemblies
Multi-body assemblies built with weld beads, gussets, and ribs. BOM rolls up automatically as the model evolves.
05
DFM audit + drawing pack
Full DFM checklist runs before drawings are cut. GD&T-compliant 2D drawings issued with revision blocks.
06
Handoff & change-control
Final native models, flat patterns, DXF, STEP, and drawings — with a tracked ECN process for every future revision.
Industries we serve
Modeling tuned to how your industry actually fabricates.
Different sectors, different bend tables, tolerances, and standards. We adapt the pipeline — and the deliverable — to your reality.
Industrial enclosures
From wall-mount control boxes to floor-standing cabinets — modeled with proper folds, knockouts, gland plates, and gasket grooves. Drawings include door hinge specs, lock prep, and standard cut-outs.

The 12-point DFM checklist on every part.
Before any drawing leaves the studio, every part runs through a fixed 12-point manufacturability audit — the same one your contract manufacturer would run, but two weeks earlier.

Frequently asked questions
SolidWorks, Inventor, NX, CATIA, Creo, Fusion 360, Rhino. We also accept neutral formats (STEP, IGES, X_T) and rebuild as parametric sheet metal in your target system.
Yes. We ask for your press brake tooling specs and dial in the K-factor, bend radius, and bend deduction before any model leaves QA. Generic defaults are never used.
Yes — all drawings are issued to ASME Y14.5 or ISO 2768 depending on your standard. We include full dimensioning, weld symbols, surface finish, and revision blocks.
A single part from CAD intake to approved drawing pack typically takes 3–5 business days. Complex assemblies or weldments are quoted individually.
Yes. Every weldment and multi-body assembly includes a complete BOM with part numbers, material, thickness, and cut-list quantities — ready for your ERP or procurement team.
Yes. We deliver in your native format (SolidWorks, Inventor, NX) and can work within your vault structure. Files are checked in with revision tracking and ECN documentation.
What Our Clients Say
“We rolled out a unified analytics platform in under six months. Production planners finally see the same numbers as finance, and weekly review meetings are half as long.”
Marcus Chen
Director of Operations, Precision Components Inc.
“The machine learning models DevWorks built for us cut unplanned downtime on two critical lines. The team delivered clear documentation and stayed involved through the first production release.”
Elena Vasquez
VP of Manufacturing Technology, Norwood Industrial Group
“They helped us move off spreadsheets without breaking existing workflows. Our engineers adopted the dashboards faster than any prior IT project we have run.”
Robert Fairchild
Chief Data Officer, Meridian Process Systems
“Predictive maintenance alerts now reach supervisors before equipment fails. We avoided three major stoppages in the first quarter after go live.”
Sandra Okonkwo
Plant Manager, Lakeside Fabrication
“The data pipeline work was thorough and practical. We get near real time visibility into inventory and supplier performance without adding manual reporting steps.”
