Design & Pre-Production for OEM Boat Builders
From CAD to production-ready parts: we apply DFM early, prototype fast, and lock in materials, finishes, and critical tolerances so your first article is right—and your production runs stay consistent.
Product Design That Matches Your Process
When it comes to product design and development, we start by listening to your ideas and aspirations. Every client has unique requirements and different levels of experience with the product development process, so we tailor our services to dynamically match your needs—from early concept support to production-ready engineering.
Faster Development, Fewer Surprises
Our experience enables a rapid, streamlined development process that helps you move faster, reduce delays, and beat competitors to market. We focus on clarity up front—materials, finishes, tolerances, and critical-to-quality features—so manufacturing is predictable instead of painful.
CAD Design + Prototyping: Concept to Manufacturing
Our CAD design and prototyping services provide cost-effective concept-to-manufacturing support. Whether you’re refining an existing part or developing something new, we help ensure the design is manufacturable, repeatable, and aligned with marine environment demands.
Built to Your Specifications—On Time
Our team uses the tools and resources required to ensure your product specifications are met on time, with precision, and without unnecessary back-and-forth. If something is unclear, risky, or likely to cause downstream issues, we’ll flag it early and propose a better path.
Before Production Starts
Pre-production is where we prevent expensive surprises. We translate design intent into a buildable plan that delivers consistent stainless and aluminum components for OEM manufacturing.
DFM review to improve manufacturability, strength, and cost without changing performance
CAD/drawing coordination (critical features, tolerances, revisions, fit points)
Prototype / first-article planning to validate form, fit, finish, and function
What to Send Us
Send what you have. If it’s incomplete, that’s fine—we’ll help fill in the gaps and confirm requirements before quoting.
CAD or drawing files (STEP preferred; DWG/PDF accepted)
Target material (316/304 stainless, 6061/6063 aluminum, or “recommend”)
Finish requirements (brushed/polished, anodize, powder coat, passivation, etc.)
Critical-to-quality features (CTQs), key interfaces, and any tight tolerances
First article qty + estimated annual volume (even a range helps)
Target lead time / need-by date and any launch milestones
What You Get From Us
You’ll get clear guidance and a quote that reflects how the part will actually be manufactured—so you can plan production with confidence.
DFM feedback (what to adjust, what to keep, and why)
Quote with lead time and options when tradeoffs exist
First-article plan and approval path (when required)
Recommendations on material/finish combinations for marine environments
A production-ready approach focused on repeatability and consistency
Our Process
A simple, reliable workflow built for OEM timelines.
Review your files, requirements, and application
DFM + clarifications to lock in CTQs, fit points, and finishes
Quote with lead time and production assumptions clearly stated
Prototype / First Article for validation and approval
Production readiness: finalize specs, QC points, and packaging/kitting needs
Need Design Support?
If you have a concept, sketch, or an existing part that needs improvement, we can help convert it into a manufacturable design that withstands marine conditions and remains consistent in production.
Improve strength without adding cost
Reduce weld distortion / simplify assemblies
Adjust tolerances for repeatable builds
Stainless & Aluminum Expertise
We commonly work with 316/304 stainless and 6061/6063 aluminum, with finishing options tailored for marine exposure. If you’re unsure what’s best, we’ll recommend the right combination for performance, appearance, and longevity.
