Our Capabilities

DFM Design Support Capabilities for Wilmington Teams

Wilmington is known for Port of Wilmington container operations and GE Hitachi nuclear energy component manufacturing campus. We handle the precision machining these industries demand.

Wall Thickness Review

We flag walls thinner than 0.030" that may deflect during machining. Thicker walls mean better parts.

0.030" minimum

Corner Radii Optimization

Internal corners need a radius matching the tool diameter. We recommend optimal radii for cost and quality.

Tool-matched

Tolerance Analysis

We review every tolerance callout and flag any that drive up cost without adding function.

Cost savings

Material Selection Guidance

We recommend the best material for your application -- strength, weight, cost, and machinability.

Expert advice

Feature Accessibility Review

We check that every feature can be reached by standard tooling. Deep pockets and undercuts get special attention.

Tool reach

Drawing Markup

We return your drawing with redline markup showing recommended changes and cost-saving suggestions.
