Services we can provide
Engineering Consultation
Concept Generation & Product Design
Concept Generation & Product Design
R3 Engineering offers consultation expertise through licensed professional engineers, specializing in product design, analysis, and reverse engineering. We consult on projects of any size, new or existing.
Our offerings include product market research, feasibility reports, model development, 3D scanning, inspections, aerial mapping, and photogrammetry — all tailored to ensure your project’s success.
Concept Generation & Product Design
Concept Generation & Product Design
Concept Generation & Product Design
Turning a product vision into reality can be overwhelming without clear direction or the right resources. That’s where R3 comes in.
We’ll collaborate with you to create a project roadmap and provide the resources needed to execute it—whether that’s engineering or manufacturing support (in-house or through our network), component assembly, or prototype testing.
Analytical Model Development
Concept Generation & Product Design
Analytical Model Development
Each engineering project starts by defining the problem—identifying inputs, outputs, boundary conditions, and requirements.
These elements shape our project criteria and guide the development of analytical models to optimize geometry, reduce stress, and meet stiffness needs. Using tools from free body diagrams (FBD) to finite element analysis, we refine your product and bring your idea to life.
3D CAD Modeling & Drafting
Concept Generation & Product Design
Analytical Model Development
Proficient in CAD platforms such as Siemens NX, SolidWorks, OnShape, and Autodesk suite, we focus on creating functional, practical models—avoiding unnecessary embellishments.
The deliverables we provide include part and assembly models, engineering & manufacturing drawings, and bill of materials. Additionally, we offer file conversion and preparation services to meet your project needs.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM)
Rapid Prototyping & Product Assembly
Rapid Prototyping & Product Assembly
Our engineers design with every production stage in mind, considering machine envelopes, fabrication sequencing, assembly access, serviceability, and material manufacturability.
What sets us apart is our expertise in geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), ensuring accurate fit and form. We also provide tolerance analysis reports for assembly and production models when required.

Rapid Prototyping & Product Assembly
Rapid Prototyping & Product Assembly
R3 is your one-stop shop for prototyping and hardware assembly. Equipped with 3D printers and CO2 laser cutters, we enable rapid prototyping to quickly identify and resolve design issues. This ensures that your ideas are transformed into tangible products quickly and efficiently.
Sheet Metal & Composites
Rapid Prototyping & Product Assembly
Sheet Metal & Composites
Our team provides design and fabrication solutions for sheet metal and composite layups. We process plate steel and aluminum which can then be followed by CNC brake forming to create custom plate assemblies and weldments.
For composite parts like carbon fiber and fiberglass, we design vacuum mold layups tailored to your application, conscious of fiber orientation for optimal load distribution.
Manufacturing Services
Rapid Prototyping & Product Assembly
Sheet Metal & Composites
R3’s in-house facility includes a 3-axis CNC gantry mill, plasma cutter, and CNC press brake for quick sheet metal processing and light-duty manufacturing.
For more complex parts, we leverage our network of machine shops to provide fast turnaround on parts. This ensures we meet your needs, no matter the complexity.
