DESIGN
SMS Design team has a focus on product design and cutting/forming from 2D and 3D designs, to prototyping.
SMS designs and edits CAD drawings
in 2D and 3D, for preparation, cutting, forming, welding, assembly, and packaging of work-in-progress inventory and finished goods.
Design capabilities are centered around common industry formats for use on cutting and CNC machines. We are happy to design and develop new products as well as review and make small changes to existing designs as needed for production projects.
