From rough idea to ready-to-make design.

Yes. A sketch or written concept can be a starting point. The more you can tell us about size, function, appearance, mounting and parts it must fit, the more accurately we can scope the design.

Helpful inputs include photos, dimensions, reference parts, hand drawings, intended use, material requirements, any mating components and your target timeline. We may ask follow-up questions before quoting.

Common requested formats include STEP for exchanging solid CAD geometry and STL or 3MF for printing. Editable source files and other formats are arranged during scoping; the exact deliverables will be defined in your quote.

Yes. CAD modeling and FDM printing can be combined into one project or quoted as separate stages. A printed prototype is useful for checking fit, ergonomics and assembly before committing to a batch.

Revision allowances depend on the complexity and agreed project scope. We define design milestones, reviews and included changes in the quote. Significant changes to requirements may call for a revised estimate.

Often, yes. STEP solids are usually easier to edit parametrically than triangulated STL meshes, but both can be assessed. The amount of reconstruction required depends on the file quality and the requested change.

Usage rights, intellectual property treatment and file handover are determined by the project agreement. If you require exclusive rights or native editable source files, tell us before work begins so those terms can be documented.

Cost and schedule depend on the number of parts, geometry, dimensioning, reference quality and revisions. We estimate design effort from your brief and agree on deliverables and timeline before starting.
