Northern is ready to assist you with fabrications, both big and small. We have the CAD/CAM capabilities to create detailed designs and reduce manufacturing costs. Northern's engineering role depends on our customers requirements, however our services typically fall into the following categories:

Complete Design: Back-of-the-Napkin to CAD model.
Design for Manufacturability: Turn your CAD drawing into sheet metal sub-assemblies and then into CNC code.
Design Revisions: Using our experience to improve designs and reduce manufacturing costs.
Cost Reductions: Improving the fabrication process specifically for your parts to reduce costs.

CAD/CAM Technology

Northern is constantly reviewing the latest in CAD/CAM software to give our engineers the best tools for reducing product development times. In addition to helping with our customers' designs, we also use our CAD software to develop custom manufacturing solutions such as part fixtures, work cell layouts, and custom tooling.

Northern prefers to work with DWG, IGES and DXF files. If you have CAD files with other extensions, please contact us. Northern will work with you to solve any software incompatibilities.

Prototyping

Northern is the ideal partner for your prototype sheet metal or stainless steel fabrications. We have the design capabilities, technology, and experience to solve any design issues that may arise. We have partnered with many businesses to help develop their products, and we have even shared in the development costs when we were to be the full scale production supplier.
