Design Assistance Services
Our goal is to help our clients reduce design errors, clearly demonstrate design intent, and get to manufacturing as quickly as possible. We achieve this through expertise and experience by providing design support through a variety of CAD/CAM tools.
All of our designers have extensive experience in metal fabrication. When you hire us for design and drafting, our staff doesn’t just draw a product without understanding how it will be manufactured. Before we begin, our designers walk through the entire manufacturing process to try to identify any design or functional issues that may arise. If any issues arise at this point, our team will sit down with you to discuss what we think is the best solution before the project goes into production.
Materials
We understand that different customers have different needs, and we pride ourselves on being able to meet each customer’s specific requirements. Our team is well-versed in working with different metals and plastic materials, and not every metal fabricator offers such a wide range of capabilities or such large production volumes. As a result, we can process any number of materials, including stainless steel, brass, copper, mild steel, galvanized, and aluminum. But we are not limited in our capabilities, and we welcome any challenging project and material you bring to us. Elimold prides itself on being able to meet the unique needs of each of our customers.

Benefits of Sheet Metal Design Optimization
Why is it important to use the correct materials and test designs before manufacturing? Benefits of optimizing sheet metal designs include:
- Improved Cost to Useful Life Ratio. A well-optimized design will give you the best bang for your buck possible by making sure that the sheet metal form you order lasts for a long time without costing you too much. Using the wrong material can cause a custom metal form to wear out quickly. When your parts last for years or decades rather than months, you save money on constant re-orders.
- Better Performance. Sometimes, an existing design could be greatly improved with just a few minor tweaks. For example, adding a removable side panel to materials handling basket can make unloading materials faster, saving on labor. Adding more supports to a shelf design can increase its ability to handle heavy loads.
- Faster Delivery. By testing metal fabrication designs virtually, you can be spared the lengthy and expensive process of building, shipping, and testing multiple physical prototypes. If a design doesn’t pass the Autodesk simulation, it goes back to the drawing board to be reworked in a way that addresses the cause of the failure. This way, you know you’ll be getting a custom metal form that will meet or exceed your needs the first time, not after months and months of painstakingly slow tests.
