Let our team turn your idea sketches into 3D design CAD drawings. We can render your hand drawings or concept sketches in 3D design, and from these 3D designs we can produce patent ready drawings, or use the 3D design to create a prototype of your product. Simple mechanical designs start around $500 but depending on complexity and number of parts the price may increase.
