Engineering Services

At Distinctive we utilize a seamlessly integrated system of SolidWorks, a 3-D modeling program, throughout our design and manufacturing process. In Product Design, we use tools like RevWorks, a reverse engineering software and SolidWorks Animator to bring assemblies to life, SolidWorks Mold Base for Mold Design, Mold Flow's Mold Advisor for Mold & Product Analysis, and MasterCAM for CAM (Computer Aided Machining) Programming, to convey the design to our manufacturing floor. We also have Pro-e for our customers who prefer to design in this arena, and of course we accept data from other programs in formats such as igs, sat, dwg, dxf, stp and many more.
