Accuracy and Quality of Designs

Q: How accurate are the 2D and 3D designs compared to the originals?

A: Our CAD services focus on precision. We work closely with your original sketches to capture every detail accurately, ensuring the final product is true to your specifications.

Q: What level of detail can you capture in the 3D models?

A: We specialize in intricate detailing, especially for oilfield tools like threading, lathes, and milling, to ensure each 3D model has the accuracy and complexity your operations require.

Conversion Process and Turnaround Time

Q: How long does it take to turn a hand-drawn sketch into a CAD design?

A: Generally, we deliver CAD drawings within a few business days, depending on the complexity of the design. We’ll provide a precise timeline once we’ve reviewed your specific requirements.

Q: How do you ensure the design meets oilfield standards?

A: Our team is familiar with industry standards in oilfield applications and machining. We incorporate your feedback and specifications to deliver designs that meet the exacting requirements of oilfield work.

Compatibility and File Formats

Q: What file formats do you provide for 2D and 3D designs?

A: We offer popular file formats like DWG, DXF, STL, and PDF, compatible with most CAD software and CNC machines, so you can move straight from design to manufacturing.

Q: Can I import your files into other design software or machinery?

A: Yes, our files are ready for seamless import into various CAD software, machining systems, and 3D printers. Let us know your preferences, and we’ll make sure compatibility is a non-issue.

Experience in the Oilfield Industry

Q: How experienced is your team with designs for the oilfield sector?

A: Our team has years of experience in oilfield machining and CAD design, particularly for custom tools like Top Drives and Kelly Saver Subs. We understand the specific needs and challenges of oilfield applications.

Q: Can you share examples of projects you’ve done for oilfield machining, like turning, milling, or threading?

A: Absolutely. We’ve completed projects for clients across Texas in areas like Odessa and Midland, covering a range of oilfield tools and components. Contact us for examples relevant to your project type.

Confidentiality and Intellectual Property Protection

Q: How do you ensure the confidentiality of proprietary designs?

A: We prioritize confidentiality in every project. All designs are handled securely, and we never share your details with third parties without permission.

Q: What guarantees do you offer to keep my designs private?

A: We’re happy to sign NDAs and follow strict data protection protocols, ensuring that your intellectual property remains confidential.

Costs and Pricing Structure

Q: What’s the average cost for converting hand-drawn sketches to CAD in 2D and 3D?

A: Pricing varies based on design complexity, but we’re always upfront and offer competitive rates. Contact us with details about your project, and we’ll give you a tailored quote.

Q: Do you provide custom quotes or fixed rates?

A: We offer both. If your project has unique requirements, we’ll work up a custom quote to fit. Otherwise, we also have fixed rates for standard services.

Technical Support and Revisions

Q: Can I request revisions or changes to the designs after delivery?

A: Yes, your satisfaction matters to us. We include a revision period with each project to make sure every detail is just right. Any further changes are also welcome, with minimal additional cost if needed.

Q: Do you offer assistance to understand the final design or address compatibility issues?

A: Of course! We’re here to ensure everything runs smoothly, so if you have questions or need help with compatibility, we’re just a call or email away.

Service Scope

Q: How far do you go in the design process? (From sketch to prototype?)

A: We cover everything from initial sketch conversion to advanced 3D design. While we don’t handle prototyping directly, our CAD files are ready for manufacturing processes like CNC machining or 3D printing.

Q: Do you offer other related services, like simulations, strength analysis, or design improvements?

A: Yes, we can provide additional services like design optimization and simulation as part of our offerings. Let us know your needs, and we’ll discuss the best options for your project.
