CAD engineer services
Our team of CAD Design Engineers enables us to manufacture parts easily and cost-effectively using time-served experience and knowledge
CAD Design
Constant Manufacturing brings over 130 years collective experience designing simple sheet metal parts to complex projects with our team of in-house CAD Design Engineers. We can anticipate and resolve challenges to the fabrication process before the process has even begun.
Many of our CAD Technicians, Mechanical Engineers and CAD Designers started as apprentice welders and craftsmen, which gives them a full working knowledge of best practices, techniques and assembly processes to allow them to design the best possible solution for your project. From production concepts to new product introductions, individual team members are responsible wholly for projects, giving a more efficient service to our clientèle and better quality assurance.
Customers come to us with sketches on paper, products in their hand or their own 2D & 3D drawings. Whatever the original concept drawing, we take the idea and utilise the latest in 3D industry modelling software, Solidworks, CREO and Radan to produce 3D models or physical prototypes for early appraisal of the design by our clients.
We have multiple seats of both Solidworks, CREO and Radan software, so we can work to full capacity with no down-time in design or manufacturing. Using a range of software, we can import existing customer designs, both 3D and 2D and in various formats, to produce a true 3D visualisation within minutes.
Why Work With Our CAD Team
Direct Access
Speak directly with your CAD designer — no middlemen, no delays
Material Expertise
We select the right metal (and non-metal) for your project's performance and budget
Design Partnership
We work alongside you from concept through development, not just take a brief
Cost Optimisation
Our engineers determine the most economical manufacturing process before production starts
3D Visualisation
Full-colour renders and physical prototypes for sign-off before any metal is cut
Production-Ready Output
Designs optimised for our CNC machines, eliminating rework between design and shop floor
Leading Software For A Leading Company
Our CAD team are capable of assessing customer ideas, parts and processes due to their industry served experience, and therefore can suggest revisions and improvements to reduce costs and time, while retaining the original design for the customer.
We also offer a re-design assistance service, where we can look at your existing products in a new way. Our design engineers can often re-quote projects using different processes and metal forming techniques. This can help our clients to gain additional value from the design process and reduce manufacturing costs.
We've designed for a range of sectors and industries from medical ovens to point of sale displays (POS). We're leading experts in metal cabinets and casings, serving the major media and utility networks across the UK.
