Engineering Assistance and Design for Manufacturability
In coordination with our comprehensive fabrication and machining services, S&W Metal Products supports customers throughout the initial engineering and design stages of their projects.
We bring additional value to our customer partnerships by providing engineering feedback on optimizing designs for manufacturability. In many cases, we engineer ways to reduce your costs through part consolidation, dimensional changes, and/or identifying potential fitment problems and other production issues. Following through to assembly and finishing, S&W ensures optimal end-product results.

Optimizing Your Project for Quality, Cost, and Speed of Delivery
Design for Manufacturability
S&W can assist customers through manufacturability consulting to ensure that product designs are optimized for our production processes to follow. We strive to facilitate the most efficient, cost-effective, and quality-focused manufacturing plan for every project.
Our process typically involves evaluating the design early in the development stage, identifying unique manufacturing challenges, and potentially refining the design to minimize complexity. It’s a proactive approach that eliminates many potential issues down the line while generally guaranteeing better end products consistently delivered within budget.
Design for Assembly
Going a step further, S&W can also help design your products to facilitate the assembly processes that follow. Our goal is to simplify and streamline the assembly process, making it both more reliable and more cost-effective.
By carefully considering how components will fit together in future production stages, we can optimize designs to minimize assembly time and complications. The result is reduced labor costs combined with better end product quality and repeatability. Combined with S&W’s value-added assembly services, we can streamline your path from initial design to fully assembled product.
Engineering and Design Expertise in Custom Fabrication
S&W Metal Products is much more than just your typical contract manufacturer. Our flexible, full-service fabrication capabilities, combined with CNC machining, enable us to tackle a broader range of projects that are optimized for quality, cost, and speed of delivery. Backed by the experience you can trust, our company brings more than 75 years of American manufacturing innovation and excellence to your project.
