Product Design & Drafting
Turn a sketch, sample, or existing design into a manufacturing package. K-Display develops product models and drawings with the people who will fabricate, finish, and assemble the result.
You do not need finished drawings to start
Bring the idea, the part that needs changing, or the problem the product has to solve. Product design establishes function and fit; drafting translates those decisions into models and manufacturing drawings. Our design work supports products K-Display expects to manufacture, connecting development to the practical details of making them.
Geometry is only part of a production release. Material, tolerances, finish, and assembly requirements need to accompany the model so the approved design can be manufactured consistently.
Develop the missing manufacturing details
Start with a new concept or adapt an existing part for a different fit, installation, finish, or assembly.
- Enclosures and covers with mounting points and access openings.
- Brackets and supports that must align with mating parts.
- Multi-part products needing coordinated hardware and assembly details.
- Existing components being revised for a new installation or finish.
Design with the factory in the conversation
A bend must leave room for tooling. A joint must be reachable. A coated part still has to fit. Our in-house manufacturing capabilities bring those questions into development while there is still room to change the design.
Understand the job
We establish function, dimensions, interfaces, and appearance from your sketches, samples, references, or existing files.
Develop the models and drawings
Part models, assemblies, drawings, and production files connect individual features to the way the product fits together.
Resolve how it will be made
Material, bends, joints, hardware, finish, and assembly inform the design before it is released.
Approve and release
We incorporate feedback and align revisions. You approve the functional requirements and released design before it moves into K-Display production.
Starting files and production details
A 3D model shows shape and component relationships. Drawings add the material, dimensions, tolerances, and notes that geometry alone cannot communicate. Together with the parts list, they define the package you approve before production.
We work with Autodesk Revit, SOLIDWORKS, AutoCAD/DWG, DXF, STEP, and PDF files. Identify the current revision, approved requirements, and details that still need development.
Start where the product meets its surroundings
Start with the interfaces: what the product mounts to, what passes through it, and what needs access after assembly. Identify critical dimensions and allowable variation. If installation needs adjustment, discuss whether slotted mounting holes suit the connection.
Keep drawings, models, and parts lists aligned when changes are made. Call out visible surfaces and finish expectations early, because joining and assembly choices affect the finished appearance.
Define responsibility for any licensed engineering, stamped drawings, structural analysis, product ratings, certification, safety, or testing requirements. Those services and responsibilities are not implied by design and drafting; they must be explicitly agreed in the project scope.
Use slots where installation needs adjustment, and identify the direction that needs it. Define the fasteners and connection requirements alongside the available movement.
What to share about your idea
Send what you have. Sketches, photos, samples, and unresolved questions are useful starting points.
- Starting references
- Sketches, photos, samples, or current files.
- Function and fit
- Purpose, mating parts, dimensions, and access needs.
- Material and finish
- Preferences, appearance, and finished condition.
- Production needs
- Quantity, schedule, and assembly expectations.
- Approval requirements
- Acceptance criteria, decision-maker, and assigned responsibilities.
