CAD Design & Engineering Support
Design-Led Fabrication for Accurate, Buildable Solutions
At Accord Engineering, our in-house CAD design and engineering support plays a critical role in delivering accurate, efficient and buildable fabrication solutions.
Working closely with clients at the design stage, we help resolve fabrication challenges early, streamline production, and ensure components are manufactured right first time.
Based in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, our CAD team supports projects across architectural, commercial and industrial sectors throughout the UK.
Design-Led Fabrication
We believe successful fabrication starts with intelligent design.
Our CAD team works alongside contractors, architects and developers to:
-
Improve buildability
-
Reduce fabrication risk
-
Optimise materials and detailing
-
Add value at an early project stage
By addressing potential issues before manufacture begins, we help minimise delays, rework and on-site complications.
3D CAD Modelling & Technical Detailing
We produce accurate 3D CAD models of components and assemblies, allowing fabrication methods to be planned and verified before production.
Our CAD capabilities include:
-
3D modelling of fabricated components
-
Detailed fabrication drawings
-
Assembly and interface coordination
-
Design for Manufacture (DFM) support
This approach ensures precision, consistency and clarity across all stages of fabrication.
Seamless CAD-to-Manufacture Workflow
Our design office is fully integrated with our workshop and CNC machinery.
CAD models are created using Autodesk Inventor and imported directly into the software controlling our CNC laser cutting, folding and machining equipment.
This seamless workflow allows us to:
-
Reduce errors and manual interpretation
-
Maintain tight tolerances
-
Improve efficiency and turnaround times
-
Deliver consistent quality across production runs
