Why 3D Forge CAD?
Developing a product idea, especially in the early stages, can be a time (and capital) consuming endeavor.
Traditional industrial design or product development firms will take weeks and tens or hundreds of thousands
of dollars to get your idea to its first prototype stage. If you're fleshing out a new idea, reviving
an old idea, or just need some engineering department housekeeping done, 3D Forge CAD Services is your
affordable source to make it happen, from concept to realization!
How much do you charge?
3D Forge CAD will discuss your needs with you and quote either a flat price for deliverables
or an hourly charge, as appropriate for the project and according to your needs, before we begin work on your project.
3D Forge CAD's goal is to provide high-quality, timely, and affordable project services to
people and organizations who do not have the need or the resources to spend tens of thousands
of dollars contracting to a large product development firm.
Are my designs private?
Absolutely. 3D Forge CAD handles each and every project as if it were our only project. We have a
strict non-disclosure policy, and agreements to that end will be signed and executed before we
begin any work for you. We will never disclose any information about you or your project to anyone,
even vendors and subcontractors, without your express permission. Take a look at our
Legal page for more detail or contact us with any specific questions.
Are my designs mine?
Again, absolutely. Think of 3D Forge CAD as an extension of your own engineering department. Every
bit of intellectual property generated by contracted design work we do for you is yours, end of story.
Your name will be on the shop drawings, not ours. We make no claim of ownership, royalties, or anything
else.
We'll save you time and money
Fabrication and mold making charges can be dramatically reduced (often by more than half!) when you
provide the fab house or mold maker with industry-standard 3D solid files directly, rather than having them
reproduce 2D drawings which will then have to be painstakingly compared by hand against your design.
The files that 3D Forge CAD Services produces for your product design, assembly analysis, and so on,
are the very same files that the mold maker or fab house will use to
produce their tooling or set up their mills. No extra steps are needed. This radically reduces cost, and can virtually eliminate
translation and human interpretation errors. This seamless integration through all stages means
that your idea will move quickly and efficiently to realization. 3D Forge CAD Services is there
to manage the entire process for you.
