Product Design Engineers
From tight tolerances to exotic materials, Gromax helps you prevent production issues, accelerate validation, and bring designs to life—without compromising your vision.
Why Engineers Choose Gromax
Brilliant designs shouldn’t stall in production. Gromax partners with engineering teams to ensure that the parts you design are optimized for manufacturability, performance, and speed to market—without the frustrating disconnect between CAD and reality.
We don’t just review drawings—we collaborate to solve problems, simulate risks, recommend improvements, and deliver functional prototypes you can test, validate, and confidently transition into production.
Core Engineering Advantages
±0.0001” Tooling Accuracy
Achieved through in-house CMM, GD&T verification, and progressive die control.
Rapid, Functional Prototypes
Built from production-grade materials—stamped or machined—for realistic testing.
In-Die Feature Integration
Tapping, coining, contact insertion, and part marking designed into tooling.
Real-Time DFM Collaboration
Receive actionable engineering feedback early—no handoffs or slow reviews.
Common Design Challenges We Solve
“My design doesn’t translate well in production.”
We co-review CAD files and provide early DFM feedback to reduce revisions and tooling errors.
“We’re struggling with tolerance stack-up.”
Gromax routinely hits ±0.0001″ tolerances using in-house metrology and controlled tooling environments.
“We need realistic prototypes fast.”
Get stamped or machined prototypes using final production materials—ready in days, not weeks.
“I’m working with ultra-thin foils or non-standard alloys.”
We’ve stamped copper, brass, phosphor bronze, and beryllium copper down to 0.001” thickness.
“My part includes tapping, coining, or inserted features.”
Gromax designs in-die coining, threaded features, and multi-material inserts into progressive tools.
