Design & Product Development
Practical engineering support for ideas, prototypes, reverse engineering, process improvements and product-development work — even when the design is not finished yet.
You do not need to arrive with a finished CAD model, material specification or manufacturing plan. SJS can start with a sketch, sample part, broken component, production problem, or simply an idea that needs to be made practical.
Customers will be treated with respect, patience and diligence throughout the quoting and design process. If you do not know the right terminology, material or manufacturing method, that is part of what we are here to help determine.
3D modeling and mechanical design built around the intended function and manufacturing process.
Machining, fabrication, tooling and assembly can be used to turn an idea into something that can be evaluated.
Existing components, worn parts and undocumented equipment can often be measured, modeled and reproduced or improved.
What You Can Bring Us
- A hand sketch
- A broken or worn component
- A rough CAD model
- A product concept
- A production bottleneck
- A machine or fixture that needs improvement
- An idea that you are not sure is manufacturable yet
Engineering Responsibility Is Defined Per Project
Each design project is scoped around the customer’s requirements, intended use, validation needs and level of engineering responsibility. SJS handles the work that fits our experience and coordinates specialist resources where a project requires expertise outside that normal scope.
Have an Idea You Have Been Afraid to Show Someone?
Bring it. You will get a respectful conversation and a practical assessment of what it may take to move forward.
