Design that can be made.

Most of what a product costs to make is fixed long before anyone negotiates a unit price. It is fixed by the number of parts, the number of assembly operations, whether a feature needs a side action in a tool, and how many tolerances were tightened by habit rather than by requirement.

Design for manufacture is changing those decisions without changing what the product does:

• Fewer parts — combining functions into one moulding rather than assembling three.
• Fewer fasteners — snap features and captive details instead of screws somebody has to drive.
• Tool-friendly geometry — draft where a mould needs it, no undercuts requiring a side action.
• Honest tolerances — tight where a fit depends on it, open everywhere else. A drawing where everything is critical is a drawing nobody believes.
• Assembly order that works — parts that can only be fitted in one sequence, and that sequence being physically possible with two hands.

The advantage of doing this next to a shop floor is that the decisions get tested rather than assumed. A designer who has watched somebody try to assemble their part designs differently.

A sketch, a photograph, a description, a competitor's product or the broken part in your hand are all normal starting points. What we actually need is the requirement — what it must do, where it fits, what it must survive, roughly what it must cost.

That is more useful than a drawing, because a drawing has already encoded decisions that may be the wrong ones. Being handed geometry rather than a requirement is how a design inherits somebody's early assumption and never questions it.

A large share of this work is components that are obsolete, unavailable, or were never documented in the first place. We measure the physical part and rebuild it as a proper parametric CAD model — not a scan mesh you cannot edit, which is the usual and much less useful output.

Two points of honesty on this. Where the original is worn or broken, some dimensions are inferred rather than measured, and we will tell you which ones instead of quietly guessing. And where the part was originally moulded or cast, the printed or machined replacement may need small changes to be manufacturable at all — those get flagged, not slipped in.

This is common Delhi and Faridabad work: see 3D printing in Delhi and Faridabad.

• CAD model as STEP — true editable geometry, not a mesh.
• Drawings as PDF — dimensioned and toleranced, with the critical features identified.
• Bill of materials — including bought-in parts and fasteners.
• Three revision rounds in a normal scope.

The files are yours, and the design is written to be manufacturable generally rather than only by us. You are free to take it elsewhere — which is also the reason to trust our advice about making it here.

From here it goes to prototyping, then low volume production or contract manufacturing, with assembly if the product needs building rather than just making.
