Services
From concept to production-ready files.
Three core services for fabrication shops, contractors, manufacturers, and CNC cutting businesses — use one, or carry a project through all three.
Professional design support for the people who build things.
From custom architectural concepts to detailed manufacturing documentation, RTD provides practical design solutions tailored to the capabilities and requirements of your shop.
Concept design
Original ideas, 3D models, and renderings to define what gets built.
Shop detailing
Dimensioned drawings, assemblies, and cut lists for the shop floor.
Production files
Clean CNC geometry and flat patterns prepared for your cutting process.
01
Custom Metal Design
Original design solutions for architectural metalwork, custom gates, railings, decorative features, structural-style assemblies, and specialty fabrication projects.
From a rough sketch or idea to a fully developed, buildable design. We develop concepts in 3D, study proportion and material, and shape every detail around how it will actually be fabricated.
Typical deliverables
- Concept sketches and 3D models
- Presentation renderings
- Material and finish recommendations
- Design revisions
Example applications
- Custom gates and entrance features
- Architectural metalwork
- Railings and decorative panels
- Specialty fabrication assemblies
- Custom fixtures and brackets
- Concept development and visualization
02
Shop Drawings & Detailing
Dimensioned fabrication drawings, assembly layouts, component detailing, material schedules, cut lists, and bills of materials.
Clear, organized drawing sets your shop floor can work from. Outsourced detailing that frees your team to build while we handle the documentation.
Typical deliverables
- Dimensioned drawing sets (PDF)
- Assembly and part drawings
- Cut lists and BOMs
- Revision tracking
Example applications
- Dimensioned shop drawings
- Assembly and part drawings
- Material and cut lists
- Bills of materials
- Component identification
- Fabrication layouts
- Drawing revisions
03
CAD/CAM & CNC Files
Manufacturing geometry, laser and plasma cutting files, sheet metal layouts, CAD models, and CNC-ready digital deliverables.
Clean, closed geometry prepared for your cutting process — ready to nest and run, without cleanup on your end.
Typical deliverables
- DXF / SVG cutting files
- STEP and other CAD exports
- Flat patterns
- 2D and 3D models
Example applications
- DXF and SVG cutting files
- STEP and other supported CAD exports
- Laser and plasma cutting geometry
- Flat patterns
- 2D and 3D CAD modeling
- Manufacturing file preparation
Outsourced design support
More design capacity. Without more overhead.
When drawings pile up or a custom job lands on a busy week, RTD works as an extension of your shop — handling design workloads, preparing documentation, and supporting custom projects without the commitment of hiring a full-time CAD designer.
Bring us in for a single job or for ongoing overflow work. You get a design resource that understands fabrication, on the schedule your projects need.
