Manufacturing Support
Manufacturing Support & Production-Ready Design
MDR Engineering can provide advanced manufacturing engineering support with a strong focus on CNC‑machined components and sheet‑metal weldment design. With deep experience in precision fabrication, tolerance analysis, and production‑ready modeling, we can help clients transition from concept to manufacturable hardware with confidence and technical rigor.
CNC Machining Design & Optimization
We can develop detailed, machining‑ready component designs optimized for both prototype and production environments. Our engineering approach emphasizes manufacturability and cost‑efficiency.
Capabilities include:
Creation of CNC‑ready 3D models and fully annotated engineering drawings
GD&T application for critical features, datum structures, and functional interfaces
Design for multi‑axis machining, workholding strategies, and tool access
Material selection for mechanical performance, machinability, and environmental durability
Tolerance stack‑ups for assemblies involving precision fits, bearings, bushings, and alignment features
Collaboration with machine shops to refine designs for cycle time, tooling, and fixture efficiency
Sheet‑Metal & Weldment Engineering
MDR Engineering is experienced in designing sheet‑metal assemblies and welded structures that balance strength, manufacturability, and ease of fabrication. Designs are developed with a clear understanding of forming limits, weld distortion, and downstream assembly processes.
Expertise includes:
Flat‑pattern development and bend‑allowance optimization
Design for laser cutting and press‑brake operations
Structural analysis for load‑bearing frames, brackets, and enclosures
Assembly sequencing and fixture considerations for repeatable fabrication
Partner‑Driven Manufacturing Access
While the firm maintains limited internal prototyping capabilities, it works closely with a network of trusted machine shops and fabricators. This partner ecosystem enables:
Rapid quoting and manufacturability feedback
Access to CNC milling, turning, 3D printing, laser cutting, welding, anodizing, and powder coating services
Smooth handoff from engineering design to production
Direct introductions to industrial partners for ongoing or large‑scale work
This hybrid model ensures clients receive both high‑quality engineering and reliable access to the right manufacturing resources.
