How we work

Send the sketch. We handle the rest.

Send us a sketch, a photo, an idea or a problem. WE turn it into something that can be quoted, cut, fabricated, prototyped or built.

01

Sketch / Photo

A napkin sketch, a photo of a broken part, or a problem statement is all we need to start.
02

3D CAD

Accurate 3D models built in SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion or Onshape and checked against real constraints.

03

Drawing

Manufacturing drawings with the dimensions, tolerances and notes a workshop actually needs.
04

DXF / Pack

Cut-ready DXF files and complete fabrication packs, ready for quoting and production.
05

Build

Prototyped, tested and fabricated in our workshop or through your preferred supplier.

Founder
The person behind WE

Jaco Swiegelaar

Mechanical Engineer / Owner · B.Tech Mechanical

Every project runs through one pair of hands, from the first sketch review to the final fabrication pack. You get direct answers, practical decisions and engineering that holds up in the workshop, not just on screen.

Start a project

Have a sketch, photo, idea or problem?

Send it through. We’ll turn it into something that can be quoted, cut, fabricated, prototyped or built, and come back to you with a practical next step.
