The AccraFab Team is comprised of Engineers that work sheet metal, machining, and assembly on a daily basis and have extensive knowledge of both processes and materials. When contacted by an interested organization, our engineering team performs a design review, establishes the scope of work, and outlines a timetable for completion. We are guided by a world-class manufacturing culture that is focused on continual improvement, whether that is in design, quote review, or product flow on the shop floor.

Once contracted, AccraFab’s Custom Design Engineering Services Division can:

• Design and create models and prints to customer specifications using manufacturing best practices.
• Reverse engineer customer supplied parts while identifying ways to reduce cost.
• Design and create fixtures for manufacturing to improve efficiency and quality.
• Establish and create standard work procedures and documentation.
• Analyze new or legacy designs looking for ways to reduce cost and eliminate components.
• Collaborate with customer and any other designated teams to provide the best and most innovative designs and products possible.
• List and check to ensure all deliverables (prints, CAD models, design literature, etc.) are complete and organized, as agreed to, at the time of contract signing.
• And much more!

Our custom design engineering services begin with a print of a design that is first sent to the estimating department and undergoes an in-depth design review. This ensures that the design is compatible and optimized for our processes. Once a review is complete, we quote pricing based on customer input for their desired quantities, and can also provide pricing for EOQ (economic order quantities) for comparison. Upon request, we can contract to provide a full design for sheet metal parts and assemblies.

We serve industries across the board, most often working on more complex applications. Although any industry can benefit from our services, aerospace and green energy are two of the main industries we design and engineer components for.

Choosing AccraFab for your design engineering services means:

• Design for manufacturability
• An accurate quote with a detailed BOM
• Creation of a comprehensive plan to keep projects running smoothly
• One-on-one consulting
• On-going engineering and production support
