Designing large, complex industrial equipment is no small task. From heavy machinery and production lines to automation systems and custom equipment, engineers must balance performance, reliability, manufacturability, and time-to-market. While basic CAD tools may work for simple parts, they often fall short when projects grow in scale and complexity. That is exactly where SOLIDWORKS Ultimate…

Fixture design often operates behind the scenes, yet it plays a decisive role in the success of modern manufacturing. While product design and automation frequently take center stage, fixture design quietly ensures accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency across every production run. As industries push for tighter tolerances, faster cycles, and higher quality, fixture design has become…

Visual communication shapes how ideas turn into reality. Just as a simple map explains directions better than paragraphs of text, engineering drawings communicate complex concepts through precise visuals. In today’s fast-paced world, engineering design and drafting services play a critical role in transforming ideas into buildable, manufacturable, and functional solutions. At Mettler Design, visual clarity,…

When you start a complex construction project, clarity and coordination matter more than ever. That is exactly where a BIM Execution Plan (BEP) plays a critical role. At Mettler Design, a well-defined BIM Execution Plan helps project teams align goals, streamline workflows, and manage information efficiently from concept to completion. BIM Execution Plan (BEP): A…

Designing intelligent, connected products has become the new standard across industries. However, as innovation accelerates, the product design process has grown more complex, especially when electronics and mechanical systems must work in perfect harmony. As a result, disconnected workflows between ECAD and MCAD teams often slow development, introduce errors, and increase costs. At Mettler Design,…

Controlling construction costs remains one of the biggest challenges for developers, contractors, and engineers. However, BIM for construction cost control has changed how projects are designed, planned, and delivered. At Mettler Design, BIM is not just a tool—it is a strategic process that improves efficiency, enhances collaboration, and significantly reduces overall project costs. What Is…

As electromechanical products continue to grow in complexity, the need for accurate and efficient wiring design has become more critical than ever. From heavy equipment to advanced industrial systems, wire harnesses play a vital role in ensuring performance, safety, and reliability. However, traditional wire harness development methods often struggle to keep pace with modern 3D…

Every custom product begins with a problem that needs solving. In this case, it started with a simple text message: “Hey, I have this idea for my paddleboard.” At first glance, it sounded straightforward. However, as with most custom product design projects, the challenge was not the idea—it was executing it correctly. My sister, an…

Engineering design does not exist in nature—it is created by humans to solve human problems. Every engineered product, system, or structure starts as an idea and evolves through planning, testing, and refinement. However, without a structured approach, even the most innovative ideas can fail. That is why learning how to improve your engineering design process…

The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry stands at a defining moment. As climate change accelerates, urban populations grow, and natural resources shrink, sustainability has shifted from a competitive advantage to an absolute necessity. Consequently, firms that fail to innovate risk falling behind both environmentally and economically. At Mettler Design, sustainability-driven innovation lies at the…
