Case studies

Published work lives behind NDAs

We do not list client names or quote specific outcomes on this page. Most programs are confidential. If you need to see relevant examples, book a short call—we can walk through anonymized samples after an NDA when appropriate.

Program types

Kinds of work we take on

These describe common engagement shapes—not finished case studies or verified results. They help you see whether your mix fits how we practice.

Fabrication

Sheet-metal & bracket programs

Repeat families where bend sequence, flat-pattern releases, or datum strategy create quoting and programming friction. Typical starting point: a DFM audit or scoped drawing cleanup before the next OEM drop.

Welding

Weldments & structural assemblies

Assemblies where throat callouts, weld access, or inspection intent do not match how the shop actually fixtures and torches the part. Work usually centers on drawing clarity and release discipline—not redesign for its own sake.

NPI

Prototype-to-production handoffs

Teams moving from proof-of-concept CAD to a package fabricators can quote consistently: drawings, BOM structure, flat patterns, and a revision scheme the customer can own after launch.

Published writing

Technical detail on the blog

For non-client-specific depth—failure analysis, DFM checks, drawing structure, retainers—see Insights. That is where we publish work we can share publicly.

  • Fewer quote-cycle surprises

    Ranked DFM findings and clearer drawing releases reduce the back-and-forth that burns estimator hours before a PO is even issued.

  • Faster first-article loops

    When datums, bend sequences, and weld access match how the floor actually builds, programming and QA start sooner—and hold less WIP.

  • Repeatable revision discipline

    Structured BOMs and a single revision story keep repeat orders from turning into archaeology projects across PDF, STEP, and spreadsheet versions.

On the way

Redacted case studies

We are building a library of anonymized before/after artifacts—drawing snippets, BOM diffs, timing notes—where clients allow it. Until those are cleared for publication, the fastest path is a fit call and mutual NDA so we can show material that matches your program.

Start with the audit or a call

Both paths are low friction and map cleanly into larger scopes when you're ready.
