Formerly 037 Designs · Now Part of Takt 3D · San Diego, CA
The same team behind 037 Designs now brings you professional CAD modeling, technical drawings, and print ready engineering files, with the added advantage of in-house 3D printing for next day parts.
Formerly 037 Designs, now CAD Design by 037, part of Takt 3D. If you've worked with us before, you're in the right place. Same engineers, same quality, now with in-house 3D printing for faster turnaround on everything.
What's Included
Every CAD design project comes with a complete package, not just a 3D file. We make sure you have everything for manufacturing, documentation, and protection of your work.
You receive the native source file (STEP, IGES, or Fusion 360) plus STL and OBJ exports, optimized for FDM 3D printing, ready to send to any manufacturer.
Always includedDimensioned 2D engineering drawings with tolerances, material callouts, and annotations, suitable for patent applications, manufacturing, and supplier RFQs.
Included on most jobsOur drawing package meets USPTO standards with exploded views, cross-sections, and figure numbering suitable for provisional and utility patent filings.
Included on most jobsWe design with manufacturing in mind, wall thicknesses, draft angles, assembly tolerances, and infill strategies so your parts work right at any volume from day one.
Always includedOn most design projects we include a physical 3D-printed sample so you can hold, test, and approve the part before committing to full production, no extra charge.
Included on most jobsEvery project starts with a 15-minute call with one of our engineers. We review your concept, suggest materials, flag potential issues, and lock in scope, before any work begins.
Always includedHow It Works
Book a 15-minute call or send us a message. Share your sketch, photo, or concept, anything works as a starting point.
Our engineers build your 3D model, optimized for the intended manufacturing process, material, and end use.
We share the model for your feedback. Revisions are included until you're completely satisfied with the design.
Approve the design and we print your sample in San Diego, often next day. All final files are delivered digitally.
Starting Points
No 3D file? No problem. Our engineers work from whatever reference you have available.
Hand us a napkin sketch, whiteboard photo, or rough dimensioned drawing. We turn it into a precise 3D model ready for manufacturing.
Have a physical product or reference image? We measure and reconstruct a fully parametric CAD model you can modify and manufacture.
Need to replicate or improve a part with no digital file? We reverse-engineer it into a clean CAD model ready for production.
Broken STL, non-manifold mesh, or wrong file format? We clean up geometry errors and convert to any format your workflow requires.
We work in the software your engineers already use
Parametric modeling, simulation and CAM for mechanical parts
Industry standard for complex assemblies and engineering drawings
Organic shapes, industrial design, and free-form surfacing
Industries
Our CAD team has experience across a wide range of industries in San Diego and beyond.
