Metaltech offers product design and product development services along with our other metal fabrication capabilities and services. If you want to create a new product or tweak the design of an existing one, we can help you transform your ideas into a manufacturable design, blueprint, model or prototype. Metaltech will help bring your custom metal parts to life.
If you need design assistance and are not sure where to start, our experienced metal fabrication and design engineers are here to help. We will listen to your goals, review your sketches or existing files, and develop a design that is ready for production.
Our design process includes:
Getting a design right before mass production saves time and money. Metaltech builds prototypes based on your design concept so you can test for fit, form, and function with a physical part or electronic simulation. If something needs to change, we identify it here, not after your production run has started.
Our degreed engineers troubleshoot problems, suggest improvements, and work with you to refine the design until it meets your specifications and is ready for full production. We stay involved through every stage so nothing falls through the cracks between design and fabrication.
A lot of design services hand you a drawing and walk away. At Metaltech, design is connected directly to fabrication. Our engineers understand the equipment and processes we use in house, which means the designs we produce are built to be made, not just drawn. That connection between design and production saves rework, reduces lead time, and gives you a finished component that matches what was designed.
We are ISO 9001:2015 certified, and that standard applies to our design and development process as well as our fabrication. You get documented processes, clear communication, and a team that treats your project with the same care we would give our own.
Product design focuses on creating a manufacturable blueprint or prototype based on your concept or idea. Product development takes the design further by testing and enhancing the product for fit, form, and function, ensuring it meets practical and production requirements.
At Metaltech, the design phase is where we bring your ideas to life, ensuring they’re practical and manufacturable. Here’s a quick look at what happens during this phase:
Yes, Metaltech’s team can help perfect and enhance your existing design. Our engineers troubleshoot issues and suggest improvements to create a design that’s ready for production.
We work with you from concept to prototype, creating a design blueprint and model. Our engineers offer insights on manufacturability and recommend the best processes to bring your idea to life efficiently.
Metaltech creates prototypes to evaluate fit, form, and function, using physical models or electronic simulations. This testing phase allows us to identify any necessary adjustments before moving into mass production.
Yes, we specialize in creating custom prototypes based on your design concept. Prototypes allow you to test and visualize your product before committing to full-scale production.
Our engineers work closely with you to finalize a design that meets all technical specifications and is optimized for manufacturability. We use industry expertise to create a product that aligns with your production goals and quality standards.
The timeline for product design and development depends on the complexity and scope of your project. Typically, initial designs and prototypes can be completed within a few weeks, while more intricate projects may take longer to refine. Our team will work with you to establish a clear timeline based on your project’s unique requirements.
Metaltech has experience working with a variety of industries, including automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, and consumer products. Our expertise spans sectors that require precision, durability, and high-quality metal components. If you’re unsure whether your industry fits, reach out—we’re always open to new challenges.
