Tusco’s experienced 3-D design engineers are adept at collaborating with clients to quickly and competently develop creative solutions. They’re armed with the most sophisticated technology, including the finest Mechanical Design Automations (MDA) available. You receive a complete three-dimensional project design, along with its subsequent components, subassemblies, and bills of materials. As modifications are made, our system ensures the complete compatibility of every intermeshing component.
Preliminary fixture concepts can be quickly and accurately refined, drawn, and prototyped. Engineering and fabrication come together as all prototypes are built in-house under the close supervision of the Engineering Department. Prototype units are built to the exact specifications that the subsequent production units will also follow.
Every project we create goes through the prototype stage – allowing your team to review a completed built-to-spec version of your project. Adjustments and changes can be made before your project begins its production run.
Can you help with design for manufacturability (DFM)?
Yes—value engineering reduces cost and improves reliability before production. Our engineering team operates full-time, on-site, providing oversight and support for every project stage.
Do you prototype parts before tooling up?
Yes—laser-cut and formed prototypes validate fit/function for sheet, wire, and tube parts.
Can you reverse-engineer legacy components?
Yes—engineering can rebuild drawings and specs for discontinued parts.
Will you recommend materials (steel, stainless, aluminum, plastics)?
Yes—material consulting balances strength, corrosion resistance, weight, and cost.
How fast can I move from prototype to production?
With in-house cutting, forming, welding, powder coating, and assembly, builds scale quickly after prototype approval. Projects spend an average of eight days from release to packaging on our floor.
