Custom Assembly Process

Step #1: Modifying an Existing Design or Starting from Scratch?

First, tell us if you have an existing Adam Tech part number (or competitor part number) that you would like to modify.

Modifying an Existing Part

Mark up any drawings you have with changes you would like to make.

Our design engineering team will engage with you to offer constructive feedback and begin the design process.

Design a New Part

Provide us with any preliminary drawings or sketches that you have completed yourself.

If you have not completed any preliminary design then please advise us of this and we'll begin the design for you ourselves with any suggestions.

Step #2: Design Creation Through Collaboration

Based on the sketch or explanation given to us, we'll prepare a preliminary drawing for your review.

During this process we'll refine the details to arrive at a final design.

Once the design is settled, we'll prepare a final 2D and 3d model along with a quote.

Step #3: Presentation of Final 2D and 3D Models

Once the final 2D and 3D models are complete - we'll send them to you for review. The model should be imported into your application software for final verification before signing the 2D drawing to initiate tooling.

Step #4: Begin Building Tooling

After acceptance of the quote and models, it's time to begin the tooling process. Depending on the type of product, this may include building molds, dies, and assembly machines or equipment.

Adam Tech can usually provide options for Manual Assembly OR Automated Assembly (capable of higher capacity rates).

At the beginning of the tooling process we can provide for you a Gantt Chart of the schedule and finish date so you can follow along.
