Our engineering capabilities include Solid Modeling, 3D Model Sourced Drawings, Tool Design, Machine Tool Paths, Fixture Design and Reverse Engineering.

Solid Modeling
We use 2D drawings and sketches to develop solid 3D geometry that meets your needs.

3D Model-Sourced Drawings
We can create drawings directly from a 3D model. Examples would be part drawings, check drawings or construction drawings directly from a tool design model.

Tool Design
We can start with your model or we can create a model, then our team works with you to develop all the necessary drafts and splits to achieve an effective tool design for your application.
When complete and approved, you’ll have a perm mold or sand tool design capable of producing your part.

Machine Tool Paths
Our team knows exactly what makes an efficient & effective tool path. We have extensive experience working with complex geometry and regularly cut demanding materials.

FIXTURE DESIGN
We have the experience to design and develop fixtures and gauges for all types of foundry applications, including Core, Straightening, Target, Heat Treat, Check, Pressure tTest and Machining Fixtures.

Reverse Engineering
Shield Pattern has the latest computer technologies to reverse engineer using an existing part.
