CAD support built around manufacture
RoseGrid provides outsourced CAD and mechanical design support for engineering and manufacturing businesses. Work can range from one component revision or drawing to a defined design package, a batch of legacy updates or repeat overflow capacity.
The focus is not simply producing geometry that looks correct on screen. Models and drawings are developed with manufacturing method, workholding, tool access, assembly, inspection and production constraints in mind.
3D CAD modelling
- 3D part and assembly modelling
- Model revisions, clean-up and design modifications
- Manufacturing-ready geometry for quotation or production
- CAD for jig, fixture and workholding projects
- Temporary CAD capacity for drawing or design backlogs
Mechanical design support
Defined mechanical design tasks can be completed as an extension of an internal engineering team. Typical requirements include developing component or assembly concepts, modifying existing designs, resolving practical details and supporting engineering changes.
RoseGrid is particularly useful where a design manager or engineer retains overall project ownership but needs capable external resource to move a clearly scoped package forward.
Manufacturing and production drawings
RoseGrid can create or update clear 2D engineering drawings for manufacture, inspection, quotation and internal documentation. The required dimensions, tolerances, datums, notes and drawing format are agreed around what the workshop or supply chain needs.
Drawing detailing can be supplied as a standalone task or combined with 3D modelling and DFM review so that manufacturing concerns are addressed before release.
Legacy drawing and model recreation
Existing paper drawings, marked-up PDFs, neutral CAD files and other available information can be used to recreate or update legacy components. The condition and completeness of the source information are reviewed before the scope and required checks are agreed.
What to send and what can be returned
Useful starting information includes existing drawings, native or neutral CAD models, STEP files, sketches, photographs, specifications, design changes and component requirements. Deliverables may include agreed 3D model formats, manufacturing drawings, revised files and concise engineering notes.
Remote collaboration
CAD and drawing projects are handled remotely across the UK. RoseGrid reviews the available information, clarifies requirements and agrees the scope, deliverables, price basis and timescale before starting. Completed files are returned digitally, with further revisions agreed where required.
