Prototype CAD modeling

Get Every Part Right Before You Pay for Tooling

A prototype built from an unchecked model means a costly redo. We build production-ready CAD and check every part, so prototypes work first time.

Where margin leaks

Prototype Rework Costs Your Margin

Every failed prototype round costs weeks. An error found after tooling costs more and delays launch.

  • Costly Prototype Rounds

    Where margin leaks
    Every physical prototype that fails costs weeks of time and thousands of dollars.
    What we fix
    Designs checked digitally for fit, function and assembly before anything is built.
  • Assembly Interferences

    Where margin leaks
    Tolerance and interference errors surface only once parts are made and fitted.
    What we fix
    Assemblies checked for interference, tolerances and clearances in CAD.
  • Late Tooling Changes

    Where margin leaks
    Design changes after tooling starts mean recut molds, costly rework and lost weeks.
    What we fix
    Models prepared for manufacturability before tooling is released.
  • Delayed Launches

    Where margin leaks
    Every extra prototype round pushes back launch and the revenue behind it.
    What we fix
    Fast, controlled revisions that keep development and the launch date on schedule.

How it works

From Concept to Prototype

Fit and function are verified in CAD before you pay for tooling.

  1. 01

    Share Your Documents

    Send drawings, models and specs. We confirm scope, deliverables and dates in writing.

  2. 02

    Model and Verify

    Parts and assemblies are modeled with tolerances, fits and materials for prototyping.

  3. 03

    Check and Release

    Senior review to ASME Y14.5 and AS 1100, checking dimensions and tolerances against source.

  4. 04

    Support Through Testing

    Fast model and drawing edits after each prototype round, so the next build starts sooner.

Prototype CAD Modeling: Common Questions

Straight answers from our engineering team. If your question isn’t here, ask us directly.

Ask a senior engineer An engineer replies within one business day.
What does prototype CAD modeling include?

Precise 3D models of a product and its parts before anything is made, so fit, function and manufacturability are checked digitally.

Which standards do you follow, and who is responsible for the design?

ASME Y14.5 for US clients and AS 1100 for Australian clients. Design responsibility stays with your engineering team, who approve the final models. Bimgraphix does not stamp or certify designs; we answer for the model matching your inputs, and any conflict is flagged for your decision, never guessed.

How do you make sure prototypes work the first time?

Fit, function and interference are checked in the assembly, and every part is reviewed for the chosen prototyping method before release.

How fast can you deliver, and how is it priced?

We quote per part or per prototype and confirm the delivery schedule in writing before work begins, so dates and costs are known on day one. Work is released by part or assembly, so your team can start early. You can begin with one prototype and judge the quality before committing the full program.

Is our project information kept confidential?

Yes. We work under your NDA from the first file. Everything we produce, including designs and models, belongs to you, is shared only through your preferred platform or a secure link, and is seen only by the team assigned to your project.
