Forward Engineering, LLC

Provides end-to-end mechanical engineering solutions from early conceptualization to production-ready design drawings.

• Concept-to-CAD Modeling

  Transforms initial concepts and napkin sketches into detailed 3D CAD models. This service prepares designs for investor pitches, early-stage reviews, and prototyping.

• Design for Manufacturing and Assembly

  Translates conceptual designs into functional products through full CAD assemblies, detailed 2D manufacturing drawings, and DFM optimization.

• Independent Design Verification

  Conducts independent evaluations of CAD models, material selections, tolerance stack-ups, and manufacturability to identify potential errors prior to production.

Delivers physical models and prototype parts to test the feasibility and function of hardware concepts.

• Rapid Prototyping Services

  Produces physical prototypes quickly utilizing 3D printing, CNC machining, and assembly. This enables rapid form, fit, and functional testing to accelerate iteration.

Facilitates the transition from early prototypes to full-scale production with specialized testing, documentation, and supply assistance.

• Finite Element Analysis

  Performs computerized stress and thermal simulations to validate structural integrity and performance.

• Technical Documentation

  Generates comprehensive bills of materials, technical manuals, and specification sheets to streamline the manufacturing transition.

• Sourcing and Vendor Coordination

  Assists with identifying and vetting manufacturing vendors and sourcing components to move projects into production.
