Capabilities / Design + engineering

Prepare your design for manufacturing.

DSM helps translate drawings, CAD files, and application requirements into buildable manufacturing information before material starts moving.

Engineering support

Bring the files you have. Review the design, confirm production details and plan the build.

CAD

3D modeling + file intake

SolidWorks support, CAD review, DXF/DWG intake, and coordination around engineered drawings and revisions.

DFM

Design-for-manufacturing review

Surface geometry, material, tolerance, weld, finish, and access questions that can affect cost, timing, or repeatability.

Build

Prototype + first-release support

Use the first build to clarify the production path and create a stronger foundation for the next release.

Coordination

Focused RFIs

Resolve drawing questions and confirm production details before fabrication begins.

What to send

Start a manufacturing review with the drawings and project information you have.

Files

Drawings, CAD, revisions, and known tolerances.

DXF, DWG, SolidWorks, PDFs, photos, or an existing production package.

Function

What the assembly needs to do in the field.

Loads, environment, access, serviceability, and the larger system around it.

Output

What the next release needs to look like.

One-off, prototype, repeatable production, or ongoing dedicated capacity.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need finished drawings to start a review?

Available drawings, CAD, photos or project information can start a discussion. Dimensions, tolerances and specifications are confirmed before the production scope is finalized. Prepare the available information.

What design files can I provide?

DSM’s review process includes DXF, DWG, SolidWorks files, PDFs and engineered drawing packages. Include the current revision and identify which files govern the build.

Does manufacturing review replace project engineering approval?

DSM provides manufacturing-oriented review and coordination. Project engineering approval remains a separate responsibility; required approvals and released production documents must be established before the build.
