Simulation & Analysis
Prove it before you cut metal.
FEA stress and deflection.
See where a fixture, tool or frame will bend and where it's stressed. Then stiffen it where needed and lighten it where it isn't.
Stack-ups and clearances.
Worst-case and statistical tolerance stack-ups show whether parts will assemble. Motion and interference checks catch collisions and pinch points before anything is built.

- Stack-up worksheets
Design for manufacturing
Every project starts with a DFM review: tolerances only where they matter, standard components before custom ones, and geometry that's simple to make.
Does simulation replace testing?
No. It's a design tool. We document every assumption and recommend physical validation where it matters.
