Production ReadyEngineering

Services

Production-ready engineering, packaged the way your shop works.

We combine design for manufacturing, clear documentation, and fabricator-friendly deliverables so you spend less time in email and more time cutting metal.

What we offer

Three ways to work with us, from a fast audit to a full-time-style partnership.

Entry point

The 48-hour DFM audit

$495 single part

$995 entire assembly

We take your existing design and run it through our Manufacturing Integration Process. Within 48 hours, you receive a "Redline Report" identifying exactly where your design is causing "Office Lag" and driving up your COGS.

If we can't find a single way to optimize your design and save you money, we will give you a full refund.

The deliverableA prioritized list of design changes that will lower your unit cost and a "Complexity Score" that predicts your fabricator's lead time.

Schedule a Production Audit

$2,500 – $7,500

Concept to kit. For companies launching a new product or an overhaul for an existing line. We take your concept and build a complete, shop-native production kit.

The deliverableMachine-ready flat patterns, 3D models optimized for your shop's specific tooling, standardized BOMs, and assembly drawings.

Production Ready Engineering Dept.

$1,500 – $3,500 / month

Monthly retainer

The partnership: scaling without the overhead. We act as your dedicated engineering team. We manage your technical library, implement ongoing revisions, and interface directly with your fabricators to handle all RFIs and production issues.

The deliverablePriority support, unlimited minor revisions, vendor management, and continuous DFM optimization as you scale.

Talk about a retainer

Why our retainers make sense

A full-time junior engineer in Tennessee costs roughly $6,500/month (including taxes and benefits). At a typical retainer of $2,500, we are less than half the cost of a hire while providing deep manufacturing-focused expertise. That gives you predictable capacity and lets us partner with you long term as you scale.
