3D CAD Modeling and Design Services – Solid Modeling, Design, and Drawings

Modeling Philosophy

Well-made CAD models and drawings can be difficult to come by. At 3D Engineering Solutions, we create 3D models using experienced and degreed engineers for well thought out 3D product modeling services that are designed to help your company succeed with any project.

CAD models should be able to be later updated with little effort. While no two engineers will ever build a model exactly the same way, our depth of experience ensures that the 3D modeling that we create for you is built in a logical and relatively easy to update manner.

Drawing Philosophy

Drawings for 3D product models should be laid out in an easy to understand format with proper notations and a clean look. To help ensure that our 3D product modeling standards are met in our CAD drafting services, we use some of our other internal engineers to perform checking of these product modeling drawings.

Having the engineer who created the models and laid out the drawing for the project check these could lead to a higher chance of missing the mark. This 3D product modeling process trains our staff to layout CAD drawings more carefully knowing that models will also be internally checked by their peers.

3D Modeling Services Offered

3D Engineering Solutions offers a variety of 3D product modeling services to bring your projects to life. We’re confident that no matter what industry you’re in, we can leverage our 3D modeling process to develop your product so it looks and works its best.

Design

Our product design knowledge and ability carries directly over to our 3D product modeling services and drawing layout services. We have the ability to easily integrate our customer’s specific product ideas into their 3D CAD models and make significant innovative contributions to the final product.

Where our customers have developed deep product and industry knowledge, we use the best 3D product modeling and drafting practices to augment their internal capacities for the project.

Where our customers ask us to perform the entire design function, we bring a large, talented team of degreed engineers to bear in developing products and projects to our customers’ 3D modeling specifications. With the help of our experienced 3D product modeling engineers, we aim to support your design projects through our services and meet your CAD projects specific 3D modeling needs.

GD&T

All of our engineers are certified in Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T). Since each engineer is also trained and gains extensive experience through our ISO17025 inspection service, we have gained practical knowledge in print interpretation and application of good GD&T practices in our drafting and 3D modeling process. Our dimensional layouts go beyond the theoretical into the functional and practical.

Multiple CAD Package Options Available

Each of our 3D product modeling engineers’ masters one CAD package from the several that we use including Siemens NX, SolidWorks, CREO, and Revit. This allows us to be flexible in providing specific CAD design and product modeling services to our customers that match their own. We strive to help our clients with any project through our various 3D modeling solutions.

Reverse Engineering

Our CAD design and 3D modeling services and drafting services extend into Reverse Engineering projects. Just present us with the sample items from your project and we will scan them in house, create CAD models, and develop drawings and tolerances. We will guide you through the reverse engineering process with best practice advice from a long history of successful 3D modeling projects.

Complex Surface Modeling Expertise

Because of our extensive work in Aerospace, Automotive, and Medical applications, we have developed particular expertise in CAD surface modeling that is unrivaled among other services. Most engineers are not afforded the opportunity to develop their CAD surface modeling skills beyond a preliminary class. However, because of our project history and experience, we have developed the ability to quickly and efficiently handle complicated surfacing issues with ease in our 3D modeling services.

Model and Drawing Checking

Do you already have a design and drafting team and just need support checking their product modeling work? We also support that work. Often times, a CAD design project leaves little time to check product modeling and drawings. Typically, the design manager is left to check the work of multiple staff in addition to their other responsibilities.

These tight project constraints can lead to higher levels of checking errors which multiply into expensive tooling changes later. Use our staff to temporarily augment your 3D product modeling capabilities. We can assign multiple engineers to the checking models and greatly improve your product introduction times!

The same issue can happen with tolerance stacking. A good tolerance stack can take up to 2-4 hours each and a complicated 3D modeling CAD design can need hundreds of stacks. Use our team of qualified engineers to help augment your ability to implement multiple stacks simultaneously to improve your design project cycle.

Gage and Fixturing

Our 3D modeling and drafting abilities extend into gage and fixture design. Part of our ISO17025 service business is involved in checking gages and fixturing created by others to ensure they meet the required specifications. This coupled with our long experience base and excellent knowledge of tolerancing has allowed us to develop gage and fixtures that are robust and easy to use.

Who Benefits from 3D Modeling?

It’s not just engineers and designers who benefit from using 3D modeling technology. Well-developed 3D CAD models can help individuals at all stages of the development process understand the product better.

Sales and marketing professionals can benefit from 3D modeling by sharing CAD models with clients to ensure project details and specifications are accurate before the final product is created. With 3D product modeling, changes can be made more easily, which increases client satisfaction and reduces required time to market.

Startups and entrepreneurs can benefit by using 3D modeling to make the best pitch to potential buyers and investors. High quality, detailed models supported by mockup product images help to illustrate features, benefits, and product promotion opportunities to convince even the most skeptical stakeholders.

3D modeling also reduces the need to create multiple prototypes, further speeding up the design process. The shape and dimensions of exterior design and mechanical parts can be more easily understood in 3D models compared to 2D renderings or even the best photorealistic images. This offers perspectives previously only available in physical prototypes. When the time comes to officially begin prototyping, 3D CAD models painlessly convert into 3D printing-friendly file formats.

For manufacturers, 3D modeling can streamline collaboration between departments and save time in the production process. 3D CAD models can be quickly referenced, giving everyone involved the opportunity to see changes in real time.

3D Engineering Solutions is flexible enough to handle both your large and small 3D modeling projects. We can work on a fixed cost or Time and Material (T&M) basis to suit your 3D product modeling requirements.

Why increase your full-time staff to create 3D models when you can use us to augment your capabilities and capacities only when you need us? Contact us for more information regarding our CAD product design services.

FAQs

  • What are 3D modeling services?

    • 3D modeling services are a design and engineering process that builds three dimensional objects in a virtual space. The entire 3D product modeling process is driven by CAD software packages and can be applied to different industries from architectural design in the real estate industry to online products for e commerce.
  • What is the purpose of 3D modeling?

    • 3D modeling allows designers to create a visual representation of a product with more detail compared to traditional 2D designs. With 3D product modeling, necessary changes can be more easily identified before prototyping and production, reducing the need for revisions in the process.
  • What are the benefits of 3D design?

    • The benefits of 3D design include streamlined product development, improved communication between teams, a simplified prototyping process, and a more manageable design database. 3D design is a powerful tool that allows changes to made quickly and gives clients, investors, and teams better insight into the product in development.
