Mechanical Design & Consultation

Design for Inspection

A component that cannot be reliably measured cannot be reliably manufactured. We embed metrological intelligence into the design phase, ensuring every critical feature is unambiguously defined, toleranced, and measurable.

Our mechanical engineers work directly from your 3D CAD models and engineering requirements to produce drawing packages that are functionally precise and inspection-ready. We apply ISO 1101 and ASME Y14.5 GD&T standards to eliminate tolerance ambiguity, reduce first-article rejection rates, and give your CMM programmers an unambiguous measurement framework from day one.

Our consultation service is particularly effective when introduced early in the product lifecycle — integrating dimensional management strategies before tooling is committed reduces cost and programme risk dramatically compared to retrospective inspection fixes.

• • GD&T Application (ISO 1101 / ASME Y14.5): Full feature control frame annotation directly onto customer-supplied or independently authored 3D models and 2D drawing packages.
• • Tolerance Stack-Up Analysis: Statistical (RSS) and worst-case linear and angular stack-up models to validate functional assembly clearances before physical prototyping.
• • Design for Manufacturability (DFM): Early-stage feedback on geometry, wall thickness, datum accessibility, and feature interrelationship to align design intent with real-world manufacturing constraints.
• • Datum Reference Frame Strategy: Defining primary, secondary, and tertiary datum structures that are functionally meaningful and physically accessible to coordinate measurement equipment.
