CAD / CAM capabilities
Parts that fit.
Mechanisms that move.
Design, modeling, and manufacturing geometry for work that has to hold a tolerance and survive a load — not just render well.
32+ years of CAD/CAM
Three decades of drawing, modeling, and cutting — long enough to have watched the tools change several times over and to know which habits carry across and which don't.
- Parametric solid and assembly modeling
- Drawings, GD&T, and fits per ASME Y14.5
- CAM programming and post-processed G-code
- Design for machining, printing, and laser
Mechanism design and modeling
Linkages, cams, gear trains, and detents — modeled as jointed assemblies so the motion is checked in the model rather than discovered on the bench.
- Jointed assemblies with real degrees of freedom
- Gear trains, ratios, and tooth geometry
- Linkage synthesis and path tracing
- Interference and range-of-travel checking
Structural simulation
Finite element work used the way it should be — to compare options and find the weak spot early, with hand calculations kept alongside as a sanity check on the mesh.
- Static stress and deflection studies
- Modal and buckling investigation
- Load path and stress concentration review
- Hand-check correlation before trusting a result
