CAD DESIGN

Bringing Precision Engineering to Custom Metal Fabrication

At Detroit Metal Shaping Company, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) represents the critical bridge between concept and creation. While 3D scanning captures what exists, our CAD expertise allows us to design what doesn't yet exist—transforming ideas into precisely engineered digital models ready for fabrication.

Our CAD capabilities enable us to visualize and refine custom components with exacting detail before cutting a single piece of metal. This digital design phase allows us to rapidly iterate through multiple variations, presenting clients with options and illustrating differences between proposed solutions quickly and clearly.

The power of CAD becomes evident in complex projects like chassis redesigns, where we can create initial blocking models that evolve into detailed engineering plans. From transmission tunnels to custom-built plates bearing our company mark, CAD ensures every dimension is calculated with precision.

This technology allows us to engineer components that integrate seamlessly with existing structures, ensuring perfect fit the first time. By digitally testing designs before fabrication begins, we eliminate costly errors and reduce production time.

For Detroit Metal Shaping Company, CAD isn't just a design tool—it's the foundation of our commitment to excellence, allowing us to achieve a level of precision and customization that honors the legacy of Detroit's manufacturing heritage while embracing modern innovation.
