3D CAD Modeling
Complete assemblies and fabrication-focused models for stairs, rails, platforms, frames, and custom equipment.
CAD built for the shop floor
Fabrication-ready drawings for stairs, rails, sheet metal, and miscellaneous steel.
3D modeling, shop drawings, cut lists, DXF files, flat patterns, and bend layouts—created by a fabricator who understands how parts are actually cut, fit, welded, and installed.

Services
Everything needed to move from measurements to fabrication.
Documentation can be tailored to your shop standards, preferred title blocks, part-numbering system, and level of detail.
Shop Drawings
Overall layouts, assembly drawings, part details, weld information, connection details, and installation dimensions.
Sheet-Metal Development
Bent pans, formed components, flat patterns, bend lines, bend notes, and export-ready profiles.
Cut Lists & DXF Files
Organized material lists, weldment cut lists, part numbering, CNC-ready DXFs, and clear quantities.
Pipe Bend Layouts
Centerline geometry, tangent locations, developed lengths, and bend-start dimensions for shop bending.
Drawing Cleanup & Revisions
Convert sketches, field dimensions, marked-up PDFs, or incomplete models into consistent fabrication documents.
Featured capability
Complete stair and railing fabrication packages.
One coordinated package can cover the stair assembly, rail layout, bent tread pans, individual part drawings, flat patterns, connections, material lists, and installation dimensions.
- Overall assembly and erection dimensions
- Railing and post fabrication details
- Bent-pan details and flat patterns
- Connection plates, tabs, and base plates
- Cut lists, quantities, and part numbers

Typical deliverables
A package your shop can use—not just a good-looking model.
Each project is scoped around what is actually required for quoting, purchasing, cutting, forming, fitting, welding, and installation.

Process
Simple, direct, and built around your workflow.
Send the scope
Provide field dimensions, sketches, architectural drawings, photos, standards, and required deliverables.
Model and review
The assembly is developed with fabrication, connections, material availability, and installation in mind.
Approve the layout
Review the model or marked-up preliminary drawings before the final package is completed.
Receive shop files
Get organized PDFs, cut lists, flat patterns, and DXFs according to the agreed scope.

About
Drafting informed by 10+ years in fabrication.
I’m Dylan Reed, a steel fabricator and SolidWorks designer with hands-on experience building stairs, railings, platforms, structural and miscellaneous steel, and custom industrial equipment.
That shop experience shapes every drawing: practical dimensions, realistic fit-up, clear part identification, accessible weld locations, and documentation that reduces questions during fabrication.
I’m also continuing my mechanical-engineering education, building deeper capability in structural analysis, materials, and machine design.
Start a project
Send the drawings, sketches, or field dimensions you already have.
Include the project type, approximate schedule, desired file formats, and whether you need modeling only or a complete fabrication package.
