Manufacturing-ready CAD.
Without the bottleneck.

Most engineering teams lose weeks waiting on drawings. Sipe Design Group turns your concepts into precise 3D models and production-ready drawing packages so your team ships on schedule, without the rework.

The Problem

Your design work is piling up. Your schedule isn't waiting.

Engineering teams run lean. When CAD work outpaces capacity drawings stall, revisions drag, and the shop floor gets incomplete information. That gap between a good idea and a finished, accurate drawing package is where projects slip, budgets bleed, and launches miss.

PROBLEM 01

Drawings that leave the shop guessing

Missing views. Vague tolerances. Incomplete material callouts. A drawing that's "close enough" becomes a machining error, a weld in the wrong place, or a part that doesn't fit. By the time it gets caught, you've already paid for the mistake.

Production-ready means nothing is left to interpretation. Every view, every tolerance, every note clear and correct before it hits the floor.

PROBLEM 02

Your best engineers are buried in CAD backlog

Senior engineers should be solving hard problems not spending afternoons converting napkin sketches, cleaning up legacy drawings, or grinding through revision cycles.

When your in-house capacity is tied up in CAD work, the things that actually need an expert mind get pushed to the back. That's not an engineering problem. That's a resource problem.

PROBLEM 03

Good ideas that never make it off the napkin

Some of the best products never get built not because the concept was wrong, but because turning an idea into a manufacturable design package requires time, skill, and the right tools that the inventor or small team doesn't have available.

A concept without a drawing is just a sketch. A drawing without manufacturability review is just paper. The gap between those two things is exactly where we work.

Your Guide

A senior partner, not a service ticket.

I'm Curtis Sipe mechanical design engineer, Gulf War veteran, and the person who will actually do your work. No hand-offs. No junior designers learning on your dime. You send me a sketch, a prototype, or a legacy drawing and I deliver production-ready files built to your standard.

I've spent 30+ years turning mechanical requirements into manufacturable designs for aerospace engine configurations at Pratt & Whitney and GE, for automated manufacturing equipment, and for precision bellows products. I know what the shop floor needs. I know where drawings break down. And I build to avoid both.

The Plan

From starting point to production-ready in three steps.

No complicated onboarding. No project management overhead. Send what you have, and we'll take it from there.

STEP 01

Send Your Starting Point

A sketch. A prototype. Legacy drawings. Measurements from an existing part. Whatever you have that's enough to begin. We'll confirm scope and quote upfront, no surprises.

STEP 02

We Model, Detail & Verify

Full SolidWorks 3D models, complete 2D drawing packages, GD&T, tolerances, and BOM documentation built to your drafting standard and reviewed against manufacturability before delivery.

STEP 03

You Get Production-Ready Files

Revision-controlled deliverables in the formats your shop needs. NDAs honored. Direct access to the engineer who did the work every time.

What Sipe Design Group Delivers

Project-based support for manufacturers, machine shops, fabricators, inventors, and overloaded engineering teams the exact work your team needs, without adding headcount.

🧊

SolidWorks 3D Modeling

Parametric part and assembly models built to your design intent, ready for simulation, rendering, or downstream drawing production.

📐

2D Production Drawings

Fully dimensioned drawing packages with GD&T, tolerances, material callouts, and manufacturing notes built to survive the shop floor.

🔩

Tooling, Jigs & Fixtures

Welding fixtures, assembly jigs, forming-support tooling, inspection aids designed for function, ease of build, and real-world use.

🔄

CAD Cleanup & Backlog

Drawing revision updates, legacy CAD cleanup, format conversion, and backlog clearing fast turnaround without losing your standards.

🔬

Prototype & Concept Design

Early-stage concept modeling, design-for-manufacturing review, reverse engineering from parts or sketches, and prototype drawing support.

📋

BOMs & Technical Docs

Bills of Materials, manufacturing operation instructions, work instructions, inspection standards, and visual workmanship guides.

Best-Fit Clients

Built for teams that need to move fast.

If your drawings need to get done and your team is already at capacity, this is where Sipe Design Group fits.

Small manufacturers needing part models, drawings, or CAD backlog support
Machine shops converting customer sketches into usable production drawings
Fabricators needing brackets, frames, guards, fixtures, or production-ready details
Inventors needing concept models, prototype drawings, or design refinement
Automation companies needing overflow mechanical design support
Engineering teams needing fast drawing updates, revision cleanup, or production documentation

Ready to Move Forward?

Send us what you have.
We'll do the rest.

A sketch, a photo of an existing part, a legacy drawing whatever your starting point is, it's enough. Fixed quotes upfront. NDAs honored. Direct access to the engineer doing your work.
